Catfish is a fish eaten for its flesh. The figures here describe steamed flesh from middle cuts. It mainly provides protein, with some fat, as well as vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, it contains 21g of protein, 3.7g of fat, 0.5g of saturated fat and 120µg of iodine.
Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. Iodine helps the thyroid gland make hormones that regulate the body's metabolism. The saturated fat and salt content may be relevant to people monitoring their intake. Added salt, sauces or other ingredients can change the nutritional content of the finished dish. Full nutrient figures for the steamed fish are in the tables below.
