We love our catfish in the Mid-South and can find a great catfish plate at many restaurants in the area. You might be thinking “Eww, bottom dwellers?” Well . . . let me tell you about farm-raised catfish. These fish are raised in freshwater ponds with clay bottoms in filtered water fed a high-protein, grain-based diet without added hormones. All of this makes a flavor that can’t be beat!
Did you know?
- Mississippi produces OVER 65% of farm-raised catfish in the US.
- Tunica County is home to two farm-raised farms/processing plants where the public can purchase fresh catfish. They also distribute to many area restaurants.
