How Do I Know When Catfish Is Done?
You can tell when catfish is done by checking its internal temperature with a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C). The flesh should also be opaque and easily flaked with a fork. If you don’t have a thermometer, you can check for doneness by cutting into the thickest part of the fillet. The meat should be white, not translucent or pink, and should easily flake apart. Overcooked catfish may be dry and tough, so be sure to remove it from heat as soon as it’s cooked through.
