In the Mississippi Delta, catfish is not a joke. It is an industry. Mississippi produces over half of the farm-raised catfish in the United States. The catfish is bottom-feeding, ugly, and delicious when fried in cornmeal. Catfish farms line Highway 82 between Greenville and Indianola. The fry is always cornmeal. The sauce is always hot. The side is always hush puppies, which were invented (according to one story) when a cook tossed fried dough to the dogs to hush them.
