Catfish is a freshwater and saltwater fish known for its mild, slightly sweet flavor and flaky texture. Popular in Southern U.S. cuisine, it is often fried, grilled, or blackened, and also features prominently in Southeast Asian dishes. Catfish is a great source of lean protein, providing essential nutrients like vitamin B12, omega-3 fatty acids, and phosphorus, which support heart, brain, and bone health. It is relatively low in calories and fat, making it a healthy option when prepared using methods like grilling or baking. However, fried catfish dishes may be high in unhealthy fats and sodium. Farm-raised varieties are common in the market, and while they are sustainable, their nutritional content can vary based on farming practices. Moderation is key to enjoying this versatile fish as part of a balanced diet.
