Description
The hardhead catfish (Ariopsis felis) is a marine bottom-dweller from the northwest Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. They inhabit murky waters, so their ability to hunt using chemical and audio signals is important. Hardhead catfish are edible, but are not highly rated as a food fish. In addition to a less-than-ideal flavor, hardhead catfish are difficult to clean and relatively dangerous to handle while alive.
