About Fish, catfish, channel, cooked, breaded and fried

Channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) is North America's most popular catfish and one of the most widely farmed freshwater food fish, named for the long whisker-like barbels around its mouth. It has firm, moist, mildly sweet white flesh and a smooth, scaleless skin that is removed before cooking. Farm-raised catfish is consistent and affordable, offering lean, high-quality protein along with vitamin B12, selenium, and phosphorus.

A staple of Southern cooking in the United States, catfish is most famously cornmeal-crusted and fried until golden and crisp, but it is also delicious blackened, grilled, baked, or simmered in stews and gumbo. Its sturdy texture holds together well during cooking. Choose fillets that smell clean and fresh, not muddy, and store catfish well chilled in the refrigerator, using it within a day or two or freezing it for later.
