On the contrary, grain-fed channel catfish raised in farm ponds in Alabama and Mississippi are about the safest fish you can eat and they are very delicious. They are not at all like muddy tasting river catfish. You must not be from the South.
But from now on, be careful what you buy. Just because it says “Delta Raised Catfish” doesn’t mean it comes from the Mississippi Delta.
People should have a choice of what they want to buy, it just ought to be labeled correctly. If someone wants to buy catfish from overseas, that is their business. Restricting trade hurts everyone, especially the poor.
