From Pond to Plate: How Pride of the Pond Catfish Reaches Your Table Fresh & Flavorful

Celebrating Catfish Month with Quality, Freshness, and Southern Care

At Pride of the Pond, we believe catfish isn’t just food — it’s tradition, family, and flavor all rolled into one. This National Catfish Month, we’re giving you a peek behind the scenes to show you exactly how our catfish goes from our Mississippi Delta ponds to your kitchen table.


Step 1: Raised with Pride in the Mississippi Delta

Our catfish are farm-raised right here in the fertile Delta soil, where the water is clean and the fish are cared for daily. From the feed they eat to the oxygen levels in the ponds, everything is monitored with one goal in mind: delivering the freshest, best-tasting catfish possible.

✔️ Sustainable farming practices
✔️ Locally sourced feed
✔️ Fresh tasting catfish


Step 2: Harvest Day — Where Tradition Meets Hard Work

Harvest day isn’t just part of the process — it’s a tradition. As the sun rises over the Mississippi Delta, our team heads out to the ponds with one goal: bring in the best fish with care and respect. It’s a rhythm we’ve followed for decades — slow, steady, and rooted in pride.

✔️ Hands-on harvesting passed down through generations
✔️ Calm, controlled process to protect quality
✔️ From pond to plant in hours — not days


Step 3: Processed for Premium Quality

Right on the farm, our USDA-inspected facility processes the fish within hours of harvest. We offer a variety of sizes and cuts — from tender 2–3 oz. fillets to thick, deep-skinned fillets and whole catfish — so you can cook your way.

✔️ Processed on-site
✔️ Flash-frozen 
✔️ U.S. farm-raised from start to finish


Step 4: Shipped to Your Door

We pack and ship our catfish with the same care we use to raise it. Whether you're frying, baking, or grilling, your fish will arrive fresh, delicious, and ready to feed your family.

✔️ Delivered in 15-lb boxes
✔️ Fast, cold-packed shipping
✔️ Now accepting EBT online
