Nathan,

One reason catfish tastes so good now is because of catfish "farming." The have huge ponds where the fishes diet is controlled, unlike the bottom feeders in lakes. The catfish caught in those lakes tasted pretty good, but they were not even close to the good taste we get from the fish raised on farms. Bug

Would it be proper for Jehovah's Witnesses to eat fried fish?

When selecting a cooking method, mature Christians turn to the Bible for its views on such matters. It is true that the consumption of fish was authorized under the Mosaic Law (Leviticus 11:9), however - the process of frying involves cooking in fat, which Leviticus 3:17 makes clear is unacceptable to Jehovah, who stated through his prophet Moses "It is a statute to time indefinite for your generations, in all your dwelling places: You must not eat any fat or any blood at all." In view of this, would it be proper for God's people today to consume something that had been cooked in this manner?

Consider also Luke 24:42, which shows that Jesus ate broiled fish. At no point do the scriptures authorize the frying of fish. Would it therefore be wise for a True Christian to demonstrate an independent spirit by deviating from the fine example set by Jesus Christ himself? In light of the scriptural evidence, many right-hearted ones among God's people today feel that it is not, remembering that "He that is walking faultless will be saved, but he that is made crooked in his ways will fall at once." (Proverbs 28:18).

LOL ... no, I guess I just read enough of them to spot the formula. This could be a fun challenge for another thread - see who can come up with the most convincing "Fake Watchtower Article".

Hey Englishman

They call Monk fish where I come from "poor man's lobster". It goes for about 3-4 dollars a pound. If cooked properly it can almost mimic the taste of lobster. Sure is one ugly fish and one ugly cut of fish/meat. I'm not going there. LOL

A lot of Pagans eat fried fish. Must be a bad thing. Maybe its origins are pagan. Can never be too careful.
