Even just this far from the river(s), it’s difficult to find river cat… Farm cat is too soft, has less flavor… so totally unsatisfactory. I lived in Prairie du Chien for a lovely time, which has the advantage of the meeting of TWO rivers, and was fortunate to become friends with some great fishermen… who took pity on me and even cleaned the cats for me !! (Anyone who’s ever tried to clean a catfish know what a blessing that is !!) (And by the way, I also love Culver’s !!)
Flavor: Farmers’ market / orchard / agritourism
