Catfish is an excellent source of lean protein, which is essential for building and repairing tissues, as well as supporting a healthy metabolism. It is also rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, which can help reduce inflammation and lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Catfish contains essential vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin B12, niacin, and selenium, which are crucial for maintaining energy levels, supporting brain function, and boosting the immune system.
