Join us for the Battle of the Bay: Wild-Caught Blue Catfish Cook-Off, where five talented chefs will go head-to-head to transform wild-caught Maryland blue catfish into their ultimate signature dishes. And the best part? You get a vote!

Why Blue Catfish? Blue catfish are an invasive species in the Chesapeake Bay watershed that can impact native fish and blue crab populations. By choosing to eat wild-caught blue catfish, you can help support Maryland’s commercial watermen while encouraging the harvest of an invasive species.It’s good for your taste buds—and good for the Bay.
