About Fish, catfish, farm raised, raw

Catfish is a freshwater fish named for the whisker-like barbels around its mouth. Most catfish sold today is farm-raised, which gives it a consistent, mild and slightly sweet flavor and a firm, moist texture — a long way from the muddier taste wild catfish can have. It is a staple of Southern cooking in the United States, classically cornmeal-crusted and fried.

Farmed catfish has about 129 calories per 100 grams raw, with roughly 16 grams of protein and a moderate 7 grams of fat. It is a good source of vitamin B12, selenium and phosphorus. Its omega-3 content is modest compared with oily sea fish, reflecting its freshwater, grain-fed farming.

Catfish holds together well, so it suits frying, grilling, baking and blackening with a spicy Cajun rub. Its mild flavor welcomes bold seasoning, and the firm flesh makes it a good choice for fish stews and gumbos where a softer fish would fall apart.
