About National Catfish Day
Created by President Ronald Reagan in 1987, National Catfish Day was set aside to educate Americans about the nutrition and uses of Farm-raised catfish. The tradition continues today each year on June 25.
Farm-raised catfish have come a long way from their bottom-feeding ancestors. The catfish that are available today, fresh or frozen in markets nationwide, are products of state-of-the-art methods of aquaculture. They thrive in clean freshwater ponds on many American farms, where they are surface-fed soybean meal, corn, fish meal, vitamins, and minerals. Farm-raised catfish not only furnish American consumers with a tasty delicacy but also provide a nutritious, low-calorie source of protein that is also low in cholesterol.
In addition to June 25th each year, October is also National Catfish Month.
