In 1987, President Ronald Regan proclaimed June 25th as “National Catfish Day” to recognize the value of farm-raised catfish.
Much of the farm-raised catfish in the United States, comes from state-of-the-art, freshwater ponds. Catfish is the leader in the aquaculture industry. Today, catfish is a popular staple in American households.
For more than twenty years, people have been catching and cooking up heap-loads of catfish. Whether baked, fried or grilled, they sure are good eating!
