Catfish Table Size - Dutch Clarias (per kg).
Table size catfish are fully grown, live African catfish (Clarias gariepinus), ready for the pot. Catfish is one of the most loved fish in Nigeria for pepper soup, point-and-kill, grills, stews, and smoking, thanks to its rich taste and firm flesh. Our Dutch Clarias table size fish are hatchery bred and farm raised to market size.
Table size catfish are sold by the kilogram: the quantity you order is the total weight in kg, and the number of fish depends on the size of each fish at weighing. They suit homes, restaurants, hotels, bars, caterers, and events. Fish are delivered live and should be kept in clean water until they are prepared, or cooked soon after arrival for the best freshness.
