The Catfish

CLARIAS GARIEPINUS · FROM YOUR LOCAL FARMER

Catfish has a mild, neutral taste and a firm texture that is more reminiscent of white meat than white fish. It withstands high temperatures without drying out, making it an unusually versatile ingredient for both professional kitchens and industrial food production.

Supply security

WHY CHOOSE CATFISH FOR YOUR PRODUCTION?

SECURE EUROPEAN FOOD SUPPLY

Produced in Sweden, on Swedish farms.

Local, resilient supply chains

Short distances, no quota exposure.

Predictable volumes and pricing

Planned cycles instead of catch reports.

Sustainable, climate-resilient

Closed-loop, low CO₂, no escapes.

Set against a wild catch in decline — cod −79%, herring −68%, saithe −60%, Alaska pollock −47% compared with their peaks — land-based production is the only lever that adds volume.

Certifications

Certified Swedish quality

Our catfish carries two of the strongest labels in Swedish food production — your assurance that the fish is sustainably farmed and genuinely Swedish, verified by independent certification bodies.

Svenskt Sigill Klimat Certifierad label

Svenskt Sigill

Klimat Certifierad

Svenskt Sigill is Sweden's leading food production certification. It sets strict requirements for climate impact, animal welfare and responsible production — and it prohibits routine medication. Climate-certified Svenskt Sigill production means lower emissions, documented feed, and fish raised under audited conditions from fry to harvest.

Från Sverige label

FROM SWEDEN

Farmed in Sweden

The Från Sverige label guarantees the fish is farmed in Sweden — not just packaged here. That means full traceability back to the farm, shorter transports, and a domestic supply that stays resilient when global fish markets are disrupted. Swedish food production, supporting Swedish food security.

In the kitchen

Holds heat, holds shape

For restaurants, schools, and hospitals, catfish is a practical, tasty, and dependable fish that combines good nutrition with simple preparation. Bouillabaisse, Fish and chips, Fish cake or Smoked? Your decide! One of its biggest advantages is its juicy texture, even when baked, steamed, pan-fried, or prepared in larger batches. That makes it especially useful in professional kitchens where food often needs to be cooked for many people at once. Catfish has a clean, mild flavor that works well with many different seasonings, sauces, and cuisines. It is easy to serve in everyday meals, from school lunches and hospital menus to restaurant dishes. Because it is forgiving to cook, kitchen teams can achieve a tender and reliable result with less risk of the fish becoming dry or overcooked.

“A very interesting fish that you can do a lot of things with. The fish and chips is really good and it's by far the best fish for a BBQ.”

Johan Gottberg — chef and founder, K-Märkt
