If you "dont think fish can chew", then surely you should be aware that catfish eat with a sucking/gulping motion, due to having no incisiform teeth, therefore explaining your fish's "choking" action.

My hoplo catfish always does a chewing action (looks more like a mouse or some other rodent chewing on something) when he eats. No matter how small the food, he will "chew". I guess it's same for pretty much any other catfish.
