SUMMARY: Today is National Catfish Day, celebrating the beloved Southern fish known for its whisker-like barbles and lack of scales. Catfish, especially popular when fried in cornmeal, can also be grilled or baked. The channel catfish and blue catfish are the most common types for cooking. Sharing photos of catfish dishes on social media with #NationalCatfishDay is encouraged. The difference between freshwater and saltwater catfish is notable, with the former being preferred for eating. The segment ended with a discussion on favorite sides for catfish, like hush puppies and coleslaw, and even dipping hush puppies in cheese dip.

Jaimee, Wesley, and Bill discuss the popular catch of the river and the sea.

SUMMARY: The 4th of July celebrations come with important safety precautions. In Buxy, fireworks are usually illegal except on special occasions like Independence Day. Police Lieutenant Candace Young advises treating fireworks as explosives, keeping children from using them, and staying in safe, clear areas away from people and houses. Fireworks can distress pets, so bring animals indoors to prevent them from fleeing. Boaters should avoid designated fireworks-free zones in the sound and never operate a boat under the influence. A detailed map of restricted areas is available on Buxy’s website. Expect heavy traffic near the official fireworks show along Beach Boulevard.
