Who knows what they feed those fish on their Asian farms.. I read the label for Origin of fish if buying frozen in grocery store. seafood is OK, if its caught in the wild & hope for the best, in their processing & handling procedures.
From Local waters, Blue & Mud Catfish are my favorite.. Believe it or not, Mud Catfish are very clean tasting fish, more so than the Blues, but its been a long time since I caught one. Don't care for Yellow, Channel, or Bullhead Catfish..
I probably have eaten farmed channel catfish at restaurants and never noticed a big taste difference.
