About Smoked Catfish

Our smoked catfish is a nutritional powerhouse, rich in protein, healthy fats, vitamins, and omega-3 fatty acids. This makes it an excellent choice for supporting cardiovascular health and reducing cholesterol levels. Sourced from a sustainable catfish farm, our product is expertly gutted and oven-dried to achieve a satisfyingly crispy texture. Additionally, it's neatly
smoked, sand, and stone-free, ready to eat straight from the pack.

Our unique smoking process imparts a rich aroma that enhances any dish. Whether you are cooking traditional Nigerian/Ghanian recipes or exploring general African cuisine, our smoked catfish adds depth and flavor to any dish. Ideal for soups, stews, or as a stand-alone meals, our smoked catfish brings the flavors of home to your table wherever you are.

What Makes Us Unique?

Afribarbels dried catfish stands out for several reasons: Our fish are processed in a clean and hygienic environment to ensure the highest standards of quality and safety, sourced from farms that prioritize environmental responsibility. Unlike traditional firewood smoking methods that can introduce harmful chemicals, our fish are oven-dried to avoid contamination, with wood chips incorporated into our oven design to impart the traditional smoky flavor.

Each order is meticulously prepared and packaged with care to ensure that you receive the freshest and highest quality catfish. Despite our modern drying method, our catfish retains the delicious smoky aroma and flavor characteristic of traditional smoked catfish from the motherland.
