I'm going to smoke a venison roast for a coworker (for a case of beer - standard charge), and he was digging through the packages from the processing place to load in his freezer - and one was marked "catfish".

What on Earth would that be??

It's a freshwater bottom feeder fish.  Doesn't have scales.  Has a skin.  It's called a catfish due to the long "whiskers" around its mouth.

Great when breaded with a spiced up cornmeal and fried or grilled. :D :D :D :D

From his butcher:

"Deer catfish is a loin cut that comes from the inside of the body cavity near the lower back"

Sounds that that would be the tenderloin.   I never thought it looked like a fish of any kind but who knows. ???.

We'll find out when he finally thaws that package out and opens it.   I though it might be something cut into thin strips - so it looks a little like a catfish fillet.. (like a whole muscle, sliced thin for jerky, etc.)

Around here we call them "Hanging Tenders" Is the most tender part of the deer and is usually eaten first. Cut into medallions a little seasoning salt and pan fried in butter.

Be careful about calling yourself and EXPERT! An ex is a has-been, and a spurt is a drip under pressure!

Yea, if they are tenderloins, don't waste them on jerky. That's the best part of the deer as far as tender meat goes.
