CatFish: Buying -- What to look for



When buying catfish, there are signals to its freshness:

The flesh should look fresh and slightly moist. It should not be spongy or dry.

The odor should be mild. Avoid catfish with a strong fishy smell.

If the head of the catfish is on, the eyes should be clear and protruding.

When buying frozen catfish, make sure the packages are not damaged and there is no partial thawing of the product.

When purchasing catfish already skinned, look for white flesh, with no signs of blood sores or any other blemishes.
