Cuisine & Edibility

Channel Catfish

Firm, moist white flesh with a mild, sweet flavor and very low fat. A Southern U.S. staple — beloved deep-fried with cornmeal batter; also excellent grilled or blackened.

Sockeye Salmon

Intense, deep-red flesh with a full, robust salmon flavor and high omega-3 content. Excellent grilled, smoked, or canned; its bold flavor stands up to strong seasonings and wood smoke.

Species Overview

Channel Catfish

The channel catfish is the most abundant and widely fished catfish species in North America. It has a keen sense of smell, with taste buds distributed across its entire body, enabling it to locate food in murky water.

Sockeye Salmon

The sockeye salmon is famous for turning bright red during its upstream spawning migration. Its deep-red flesh is the richest in omega-3 fatty acids of all Pacific salmon species, making it the most valuable commercially.
