Dr. Robert Cox said he's so sure of that fact, he'd feed the fish to his family.
"Would I personally worry about eating this? No, not in any way," Cox said. "I'd serve it to my family and my children. And I'm not advocating that we eat Asian catfish either, I'm just saying I'm not worried that there's a danger there."
Contaminated catfish has been pulled from supermarket shelves all over the state after tainted samples were found by officials. Lester Spell, the state's Agriculture and Commerce commissioner, said Friday hundreds of grocery stores were inspected and many removed voluntarily the fish from sale after hearing test results.
