What’s with Mississippi and Catfish?
SUMMARY: Catfish is a beloved staple in Mississippi, with many cities featuring restaurants dedicated to Southern fried catfish. The connection began in the 1960s when catfish farming surged in the Mississippi Delta, leading to the state producing nearly 60% of the country’s catfish acreage by the 1980s. The industry thrived throughout the 1980s and 1990s, embedding catfish into Southern cuisine. It is commonly served fried, baked, or grilled, with many favorites hailing from restaurants like Charlie’s Catfish House and Jimmy K’s Catfish. Catfish remains a symbol of Mississippi culture and culinary tradition, enjoyed by families and restaurants alike.

SUMMARY: Five years after its restoration began, a grass-covered lot in Moss Point is evolving into a diverse Bayhead Swamp. Initially dominated by invasive grasses, the area has transitioned through ecological succession, where shorter plants gave way to shrubs and young trees. This transformation is often misinterpreted as a mess, but it is a natural process crucial for creating stable habitats. As shrubs and young trees expand, the view will eventually open up, revealing a mature swamp. Understanding this progression underscores the beauty and importance of restoring natural ecosystems, moving away from the human tendency to impose neatness on nature.
