Is anything poisonous about catfish

Answer 1

No, but they can inflict a wound that can become enflamed or infected. If you are ever finned by a catfish, make sure to clean the wound. If you are fishing in the ocean, use ocean water as a temporary cleaner. When you get home clean the wound. If you are fishing in fresh water, try to clean it with bottled water temporarily until you can get home to clean it properly.

If you get finned so badly that the bleeding won't stop. Go to the nearest Emergency Room. The fin might have hit a blood vessel.

Answer 2

There are a wide variety of fish called "catfish". Some of them have a venomous barb, and some do not (many of them do have "spikes" that can cause a painful... if not actually dangerous... injury, though). Without knowing which particular species you mean, it's hard to answer.

The only really poisonous part of a catfish are the pectoral and dorsal fins.
