As for crayfish, the fewer people eating them, the more for me. In all seriousness, crayfish is delicious, superior to either crab or lobster. If only there was more than a small nugget of meat per animal ...
It's definitely still an issue depending on where you get it from. Thing is, most catfish people eat from restaurants or groceries is farmed and generally grown in a pretty controlled environment to avoid that.
We (my family) used to go catfish fishing multiple times a year when I was younger and I've definitely had some..."muddy" catfish.
