WHO’S YOUR CATFISH? I HEARD A STORY WHERE THIS COMPANY THAT SHIPPED FISH TO THE FOOD INDUSTRY. WERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE BEST WAY TO SHIP COD FISH AND PRESERVE THE FRESHNESS AND FLAVOR. THEY TRIED FREEZING THEM AND SHIPPING BUT THE TASTE WAS NOT GOOD.
AND THE FISH GOT SOFT AND MUSHY. NOT GOOD! THEN SOMEONE HAD THE IDEA TO SHIP THE COD IN WATER, WHERE THEY WOULD STILL BE ALIVE THINKING THEY WOULD SHOW UP FRESH. WHAT HAPPENED WAS, BECAUSE THE FISH WERE INACTIVE AND HAD NO NEED TO SWIM AND EXERCISE, THEY SIMILARLY ARRIVED SOFT AND NOT AS FIRM AS DESIRED IN TEXTURE.
FINALLY, SOMEONE HAD THE IDEA THAT WORKED! SINCE A CERTAIN CATFISH IS THE NATURAL PREDATOR TO COD, THEY TOSSED ONE IN THE WATER WHEN THE COD WERE SHIPPED. THIS FORCED THE COD TO STAY ALERT AND ACTIVE AND BE ON GUARD THUS KEEPING THEM ACTIVE AND ARRIVING FRESH AND VIBRANT.
IN OUR LIFE, IF WE “FREEZE” AND BECOME INACTIVE WE TO CAN GET SOFT AND LOSE OUR EDGE OF MENTAL AND PHYSICAL ALERTNESS. LIFE CAN GET KIND OF MUSHY, STALE, START TO SMELL FUNNY AND WE CAN JUST STAY TO BE COMFORTABLE. THIS RAISES THE QUESTION “WHO’S YOUR CATFISH”?
