Catfish
Catfish are a freshwater fish, native to every continent except Antarctica. June 25th is National Catfish Day. Catfish recipes are a good source of potassium, phosphorus, selenium and choline but catfish is higher in fat than other fish so keep that in mind if you are watching calories (especially of the fried versions!). The fish fillets have a firm texture making them suitable for pan-frying and grilling. They also hold up well in stews and soups.
