"No more Catfish!!"
For the second time in about two months I went to a restaurant to eat catfish and there was none. Looking on the web there seems to be a shortage due to the farmers switching to corn and the price of feed is running some of the raisers out of business. I don't know about the rest of you guys but in the south catfish is a staple. This is just another side effect of corn based fuel!

No shortage in this area- - - so far that is !
I've gotten hooked on "blackened" instead of the standard "fried" version !.

Chicken Express is where I was last night. They had a sign saying they had discontinued selling catfish. I have not tried Babes yet. The other place I tried was "Stumpy's" on Lake Granbury. In my readings I see that there is a new hatch coming available this summer. Just another price going up!

I had not heard about that but I had been making it at home.
I love my catfish. I went in to a restrant in Pidgon Forge, Tenn and got the all you could eat catfish.
Well after 3 pieces the manager came over and acussed me of sharing my fish with someone else
when they had all got there own plates. I guess that was thier way of getting you to stop ordering more fish.
Man was I pissed, he was lucky I didn't live in the area or I would have been in there everyday eating all thier fish.
I would have went on a strict fish diet. HE! HE! HE!

That's just about the only thing I miss about North Carolina, the fish camps down by the river. Catfish and hushpuppies.PLANET EARTH, INSANE ASYLUM FOR THE UNIVERSE.

I know Irby's quite well. We have a lake house there and it is only a couple of hours away. My mom also lives there and she loves Irby's catfish. Mellow how did you get to know Granbury?

Corn and soybean prices are up, so are cattle....doubt it's all based on ethanol usage. The price of diesel fuel is through the roof and still rising, about everything that gets to the consumer via a truck is going to see price increases, and probably shortages in some instances.... No idea why, but it could be a really tough summer at the grocery store!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Wiring can be a pain. My problem is I get in a groove and have a plan and then get sidelined to another project and when I come back I forget what the heck my plan was.
