WILD-CAUGHT
Chesapeake Blue Catfish
Found in the Chesapeake Bay and tributaries, this fish is mild and clean and unlike the typical farm-raised catfish most people are familiar with. In fact, this species is NOT a bottom feeder and instead eats a varied dietcrabs, oysters, roe, and more - making it a threat to the ecosystem of the Bay. By utilizing this fish on your menus, you’re not only offering a delicious protein, you’re making a difference in the US’s largest estuary (and the 3rd largest in the world!).
