Farm-Raised Channel Catfish



Channel Catfish farming started in Arkansas in the 1960s and grew to the Mississippi Delta were most of the catfish farms and processing plants are today.

Being a farm raised and grain fed fish, Channel Catfish will have a more mild and sweet consistent flavor than the catfish you might catch in the lakes and rivers. Cooked catfish has a denser meat than other similar whitefish and will not be quite as flaky.

Look for the raw meat to be white to a little off white and sometimes catfish will have a pinkish tint to the meat.
