What It Is
Smoked catfish is a highly nutritious, protein-rich fish product obtained through traditional or industrial smoking of fresh catfish. It is preserved through a low-moisture, wood-smoke drying process that enhances its flavor, aroma, and shelf life, making it an important export in the foodstuff and fishery trade.
