No matter how you cook it, farm-raised catfish is the largest single product of U.S. aquaculture. The nutritious fish is low in saturated fat and a great source of lean protein. Even better, most of the production takes place here in the Midsouth. According to the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service, the top four farm-raised catfish producing states are Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, and Texas accounting for a combined 96% of the total production.
