I've never had farmed......I'd go for wild-caught and smaller filets.  But, even if they're bigger, you will see the red meat and can get rid of it.

 

Come to think of it, do they sell wild-caught?  I don't get out much to the big stores...

I don't know whether wild-caught catfish can be purchased; I haven't paid attention since I had no intention of buying it, so I'm not sure of the sources. The big grocery stores state their fish sources, and the little backwoods shops in Florida seem to carry stuff they, their families or contractors caught wild. (There's nothing like opening a freezer and being greeted by an alligator head that takes up an entire shelf.) I'll pay more attention to catfish this year.  If I find it, I'll ask here how to cook it!

I don't know whether wild-caught catfish can be purchased; I've always ignored catfish due to unpleasant restaurant experiences, so I'm not sure of the sources. The big grocery stores state their fish sources, and the little backwoods shops in Florida seem to carry stuff they, their families or contractors caught wild.
