About Fish, catfish, channel, wild, cooked, dry heat
Catfish is a mild, slightly sweet freshwater fish and a staple of Southern American cooking, famously cornmeal-crusted and fried. The wild channel catfish here has firm, moist flesh that holds together well in the pan.
It's a relatively lean fish — moderate in fat and calories, high in protein, and a decent source of vitamin B12, selenium and some omega-3s: more than a white fish like cod, but less than oily salmon or mackerel. It sits comfortably between the two.
Affordable and forgiving to cook, catfish is an easy everyday fish — though it's worth remembering the classic fried preparation adds far more fat and calories than the fish itself.
