Catfishes are a diverse group of ray-finned fish. Named for their prominent barbels, which resemble a cat’s whiskers, catfish range in size and behavior. Catfish are of considerable commercial importance; and have widely been caught and farmed for food for hundreds of years in Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America. Judgments as to the quality and flavor vary. Catfish is high in vitamin D. Farm-raised catfish contains low levels of omega-3 fatty acids and a much higher proportion of omega-6 fatty acids. In Nigeria and some parts of Africa, catfish is often cooked in a variety of stews and soup. It is particularly cooked in a delicacy popularly known as “catfish pepper soup” which is enjoyed throughout the nation.
