One of the key advantages of catfish is its high protein content, making it an excellent source of animal-based protein for the population.

Protein Content of Catfish

Catfish contains approximately 17–20 grams of protein per 100 grams of fresh meat, depending on the type of feed, harvest age, and farming method. The protein found in catfish is complete, meaning it contains all the essential amino acids needed by the human body. This makes catfish an excellent source of protein to support growth, cell regeneration, and immune function.
