When it comes to menu stars, few fish check as many boxes as Chesapeake Bay Blue Catfish. It's wild-caught, domestic, sustainably harvested, incredibly versatile, and priced to deliver real value. With a mild, clean flavor and firm white flesh, Blue Catfish can do it all, from crispy sandwiches and tacos to blackened entrées and chef-driven specials. It's the kind of fish that keeps food costs in check while giving guests something a little different.

What makes Blue Catfish even more unique is the story behind it. Over the years, populations have expanded throughout the Chesapeake Bay watershed, putting increased pressure on native species and habitats. As demand for Blue Catfish grows, commercial harvesters can remove more fish from the ecosystem, creating a true win-win: a great seafood option for restaurants and a practical way to support the health of the Bay.

For local watermen throughout Maryland and Virginia, Blue Catfish has become an important fishery. Every fillet sold helps support hardworking fishing communities while creating market demand for continued harvest. Few seafood items offer the opportunity to support local economies, improve the ecosystem, and deliver exceptional value on the plate all at the same time.

This September, there's never been a better time to give Chesapeake Bay Blue Catfish a place on your menu.
