There used to be some decent catfishing right near that Atkinson mill, too, as I recall.   I used to tool around there in my old Crow Boat (wide, squareback canoe with trolling motor).  Catfish were the target but too often you'd come up with nasty old bowfin (a.k.a blackfish, a.k.a. "junior-pollyhumpers").  They were so nasty that even the Fish & Game Officers told me to "cut your line & toss them up into the bushes and, whatever you do, don't put your hand near their mouth!".  Some bass in that pond, too.

Anyway, there were plenty of opportunities for the company to perfect a recipe for fish batter.  We used the stuff all the time.  As good as that batter is, though, it ain't gonna make a bowfin filet appeal to anyone's taste buds... and that's assuming you COULD filet the danged tough-hided thing!  The "fish" (?) was kind of a cross between an ugly catfish & a carp and capable of tearing up a fishing net in a heart beat.

Good fish batter, though.
