Catfish or catfish or CAT FISH are freshwater fish that live only on the bottom, often in canals and drains, and although they do not live in freshwater they feed on anything from litter.

Its types:
Catfish are abundant in water that contains wastewater for two reasons. The first is the scarcity of fishing from this water, because it is dirty, so you see catfish in it in abundance and in large sizes, and also the availability of food (sanitation), as this type of fish can It feeds on anything in any water.
Warning:
The two doctors cautioned against eating catfish that live in wastewater and all kinds of expenses, because their bodies contain high quantities of microbes and bacteria, as well as the possibility of containing heavy metals such as lead or mercury if they live in water that has industrial wastes specific to the factories.
They are advised to eat catfish that live in running water and the Nile water is valid, because this species is suitable for consumption and safe for health.
The harm of eating catfish and drains:

How do you distinguish between fish catfish and running water catfish?
It must be bought from a trusted merchant, or a fisherman we know personally hunted from the Nile.
Avoid completely catfish from large size, as they eat meat and derive from frogs or rodents, especially if they live in drains, but small sized catfish often feed on plants.
– Choose light-colored catfish with pink flippers, and stay away from dark blacks, because they are often bred in drains, and the darker their color, the more impression they are raised in healthy drains or dirty water.
The belly of the catfish should be very white, and refrain from purchasing the gray or brown belly catfish.
– Clean the fish well and dispense with its guts and head, cut it into medium pieces and then cook it well in the heart or in the oven, so that we can guarantee that there are no live parasites in it.
