🌊 What is Smoked Catfish?
Smoked Catfish is the dried and smoked form of freshwater catfish (Clarias gariepinus or related species). It undergoes cleaning, gutting, salting (optional), and traditional or oven smoking, removing excess moisture while enhancing its rich umami flavor.
Smoked catfish is a staple in African cuisine, now gaining global appeal in ethnic markets, gourmet cooking, and protein-based snack production.
