About Mudfish

Mudfish is a common culinary name for freshwater snakehead fish. It refers to a variable fish category rather than a single species, and the catalogue does not establish which snakehead is meant.

The fish is used in preserved, grilled, and cooked dishes. Its appearance and texture depend on the particular fish and its preparation; preserved forms can differ substantially from fresh or cooked fish in moisture and texture.
