Catfish is a fish eaten for its flesh. These figures describe steamed catfish flesh, with bones included in the weight used to calculate the values. Per 100g, it provides 18g of protein, 3.1g of fat, 2µg of vitamin B12 and 100µg of iodine.

Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. Vitamin B12 is needed for normal nerve function and red blood cell formation, while iodine is needed to make thyroid hormones.
