Might be hard to read depending on the size of your screen but the side of the small boat says Gateway Blues Catfishing. Apparently there is a business that will take you out on the Mississippi searching for the critters, which are served fried. The river is a lot cleaner than it was some decades ago but, still, catfish are bottom feeders and the river is busy and just imagine what's down there. So, no, I wouldn't eat it.
Note the enormous size of the barges in the background, some distance behind the fishing boat. When in transit, they are connected two across and up to eight or ten long, pushed by a very powerful boat. How the pilots steer them through the many bends on the Mississippi is beyond me.

Pues, depende del hambre,,,, muy buena imagen, un saludo desde Murcia.
I would eat a fried catfish from the river up past Winfield, Mo., but who knows where that fish was swimming the day before. I would still love to go fishing for, and eat some fried catfish from The River.
Many years ago I once caught a small sturgeon in the Mississippi River just a short ways down river from the Winfield Dam. It was an amazing fish to see and I carefully removed the hook that had barely snagged its mouth and put it back into the river. So you really don't know what is on the bottom of the Mississippi.
Definitely wouldn't eat them after that writeup Bob 😁😁 Blimey those barges are ginormous!
When I was a little kid, my parents used to go to a little restaurant that served fried catfish. I guess we didn't think about the condition of the river back then.
To say I dislike seafood is an understatement, so... no.
