Bible translation - wrong to eat catfish?

[gardengirl]

I know this subject may sound really weird, but me and a co-worker were having a healthy debate about the proper translation of these verses
Leviticus Ch 11:9-12, and whether they are saying it is wrong to eat catfish. No they do not have scales, but they do have fins. Any opinions?
Leviticus Chapter 11
9These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.

10And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:

11They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.

12Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.

[Telstar]

There are many things in life that I will worry about.

Whether or not the Bible prohibits eating catfish is NOT one of them.

It doesn`t matter anymore. The old law died with Christ on the cross.
