Farm-to-Table Fish: Choosing U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish

Fish isn’t usually the first thing that comes to mind when you think of farm-to-table. But, farm-to-table fish is an option many consumers don’t know about. U.S farm-raised catfish fits perfectly in the farm-to-table lifestyle because it allows consumers to support their local farmers directly. Practicing a farm-to table lifestyle, which can include our catfish products, means you can rest assured knowing your fish comes from the same place, every time, with the same standards of quality.

What is Farm-to-Table?

Farm-to-table can mean many things for both consumers and producers in the food industry. Sometimes, farm-to-table can mean dining where food is being produced, while other times it is defined as producers having close relationships with the companies they provide product to, avoiding third party services. Farm-to-table is often associated with healthier lifestyle choices because it provides consumers with the means to get their foods from more direct sources.

How is U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish a Farm-to-Table Option?

Heartland catfish products are the perfect farm-to-table option for those looking to feed their families with quality protein straight from local, sustainable catfish farms. Catfish can be wild caught or farm raised. Here at Heartland Catfish Company, we farm raise our catfish to ensure consistent product quality.

Although wild caught seafood is sometimes considered easier to come by, the risks that accompany it can be concerning. Wild caught seafood is produced in its natural habitat, which means the possibility for pollution and contaminants is much greater. There’s also no way to control the nutrient intake of the fish in wild caught or imported environments.

Why Should You Opt for Farm-Raised Catfish?

Farm-raised seafood is a much safer bet when it comes to the overall consistent quality of the fish you are feeding your family. U.S. farm-raised catfish is produced in quality controlled ponds, which helps guarantee safety regulations for produce.

Farmed fish has been used to aid in environmental efforts within the seafood industry. Wild caught seafood has resulted in overfishing and inconsistent fish population, which is what fish farming avoids. Farmed seafood offers a sustainable way to produce fish without endangering species’ wellbeing.

U.S. farm-raised catfish can be the perfect option for families because the added nutrients in fish feed guarantee consistent health benefits from the fish. The good fats in farmed catfish promote overall heart health and give the fish consistent mild flavor.

For those who want to be sure their food is coming from a reputable source and kept to the same quality standard every time they buy, opting for companies that buy and produce locally is the way to go. So, not only is a farm-to-table diet a way to ensure your ingredients are always the highest quality, it’s also a way of supporting local family businesses and helping boost local economies.
