Do pelicans enjoy eating, catfish? They love catfish however I don’t think they like the situation that catfish put them in. The catfish have hard spikes and make it very uncomfortable for them to eat. They typically like to swallow them hole, but those barbs can sure put a hurting on them. No one was injured during the filming of Jasmine trying to have a snack. #gafftopsailcatfish #catfish #pelicans | TX Shrimp Diva
