Catfish filet is a tender, flaky white fish commonly featured in Southern U.S. cuisine, often fried, grilled, or baked. This freshwater fish is rich in protein, providing about 15-20 grams per serving, while being relatively low in calories and fat when prepared without heavy breading or frying. It offers essential nutrients like vitamin B12, selenium, and omega-3 fatty acids, which support brain, heart, and overall health. Traditionally, catfish filets are seasoned with spices like paprika, garlic, and cayenne, and can be paired with sides like cornbread or greens. However, frying catfish, as is popular in many recipes, significantly increases the calorie and fat content, so grilling or baking is a healthier alternative. Sustainably farm-raised varieties are widely available, offering an eco-friendly source of this flavorful fish. Incorporating catfish filets into a balanced diet can be both delicious and nutritious when prepared mindfully.
