Catfish, a southern classic that is also popular in Europe, Asia and Africa, is a fish high in vitamin D and with few bones. Many people prefer farmed catfish to wild catfish because it has a clean flavor that isn't "muddy."

Store catfish fillets in your freezer until you're ready to use them, then thaw as many as you need. We do not recommend thawing and refreezing raw fish.

Catfish is frequently breaded with cornmeal and fried in the US. More complex flavor pairings include bacon (consider our Kurobuta bacon for a truly luxurious flavor), pecans, sweet peppers and olives.
