Blue catfish are taking over Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay, gobbling up blue crabs and threatening the local ecosystem—and the state’s beloved crab feasts. But here’s the twist: officials want everyone to help by eating more catfish! These invaders are surprisingly tasty, with mild, white flesh that’s perfect for frying or grilling. By putting blue catfish on our plates, we can support local fishermen, protect native species, and maybe even start a new food trend. Would you swap your usual seafood order for catfish if it helped the Bay? Let’s talk recipes and what this means for Maryland traditions! #Science #MarylandEats #ChesapeakeBay
