National Catfish Day

Date When Celebrated : This holiday is always held on June 25

Something's fishy today. It's National Catfish Day. It's a day to enjoy some tasty, fried catfish. Or, enjoy catfish cooked to your favorite recipe......yummy.

Guess who said: "More and more Americans are discovering a uniquely American food delicacy -- farm-raised catfish." For the author, read on below to the "Origin of National Catfish Day".

You should have no doubt what two things you should do today... fish for and eat catfish. Enjoy a plateful of catfish, cooked anyway you want. Chances are, you will eat farm raised catfish, which supplies the vast majority of catfish to the U.S. market. But, wouldn't it be much more fun to fish in the morning, and catch the catfish you will eat?

Thought for Today: " Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish that they are after" - - Henry David Thoreau
