Wild caught catfish is delicate and flaky, with loads of flavor. Catfish contains healthy fatty acids, provides complete protein, is a source of vitamin B-12, and is low in mercury. Pair it with dark leafy greens and some fruit for the perfect fitness meal.

What you pair your Wild Blackened Catfish with will make all of the difference as to whether or not your meal stays lean or becomes fattening. Avoid bread, potatoes and pastas – instead stick with grilled veggies, fresh green salads and fruit for dessert.
