I’m from the American South originally, and catfish is our main fry fish since it’s a poor region with a lot of rivers. Honestly, it’s a fantastic fish for frying, but I haven’t had it in a while because demand has now caused catfish to be expensive around here.

My point being, replacing cod with catfish is only going to work for so long. Catfish also tastes like mud if you fuck it up. It sucks they’re cheaping out on a good dish like that, I know I’d be pissed if I was expecting my catfish and got another fish instead. Makes a huge difference.
