I would rather eat fried cotton myself (more taste and much easier to swallow than mudfish regardless of how you cook it!) A friend's dad caught one once and refused to listen to our recommendations to toss it in the trash. He figured that anything that fought as hard as that booger did deserved a more justified end, so he cooked him up and ate him. We laughed the entire time as we watched his face each time he took a bite. To this day I am not sure who was the toughest SOB that night, the fish or the determined man that caught him and choked down every bite.
