Thinking of catfish for dinner? Catfish, as with any seafood, requires certain safe handling to reducing the risk of foodborne illness.<\/p>\n
Likewise, all seafood should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145\u00baF – or appear opaque and separate easily with a fork when done.<\/p>\n
Since 1984, August was designated National Catfish Month<\/a> to celebrate and appreciate the delicious, easy to cook, high in protein, versatile fish.<\/p>\n The Catfish Institute (TCI)<\/a>, the Jackson-based marketing arm of the U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish industry, works throughout the year to promote the awareness and consumption of America\u2019s largest aquaculture product.<\/p>\n U.S. farm-raised catfish is consistently high quality and, unlike ocean-caught fish, is available all-year long at a price unaffected by external environmental conditions.<\/p>\n Ninety-four percent of all U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish is raised in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi. The U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish industry in these four states employs employs nearly than 10,000 people and contributes more than $4 billion to each state\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n By simply asking a few questions about whether a store or restaurant offers sustainable seafood, you can help shape demand for fish that has been caught or farmed in environmentally responsible ways:<\/p>\n Food Safety & Allergy Training - 10% OFF SALE<\/div>\r\n
