More comparable to striped bass, rockfish, or halibut, the sweetness is subtle, allowing it to pair well with a wide range of seasonings, marinades, and global cuisines. It lacks the bitter, earthy taste of other catfish.
Bay Lion filets are high in protein, low in fat, and packed with potassium & vitamin D. Their flavor & nutritional value are due to their clean diet of oceanic proteins like blue crabs, white perch, shad, rockfish, and eels.
Bay Lions have a firm, flaky texture that holds its shape under heat and handling. Unlike softer white fish like tilapia or cod, blue catfish doesn't fall apart when cooked. It flakes gently, but not excessively.
Get your furry friend in on the action. Wild-caught Bay Lion petfood is rich in clean, easily digestible animal protein, Vitamin D, Calcium & potassium.
