I catch a few salmon up in Canada on a yearly trip up there. I don't particularly care for salmon because of their strong oily meat and the only way I'll eat them is with a pancake batter mixed with a can of 7-up soda. I cut up the fish into chunks, dip in the pancake mix, deep fry, and put ketchup on them. No strong fish taste at all. Ya might try that with large cats. The 7-up seems to neutralize the strong oily taste.
