About Catfish meat

Catfish meat is the edible flesh of fish sold as catfish, a broad group that includes multiple freshwater and marine species. It is typically pale and mild in flavour, with texture that can range from delicate to firm. The term does not identify a particular species, cut, or state of preparation, so products sold under it may not be directly alike.

The flesh is commonly sold as fillets or portions and can be fried, baked, grilled, or used in stews. It may be available fresh or frozen, and cooking or preservation changes its moisture and texture. This page concerns edible fish flesh, not the whole fish or other parts, but the exact species and processing remain unspecified.
