RIVERTON, Wyo. (Aug. 3, 2026) — Summer is prime time for chasing blue catfish. Whether you’re fishing large reservoirs, winding rivers, or local lakes, these hard-fighting fish offer anglers plenty of action—and even better table fare. With their firm, mild-flavored white fillets, blue catfish are among the finest freshwater fish for a backyard fish fry.
This season, Hi Mountain Seasonings is encouraging anglers to take their catch from good to unforgettable by adding a little Western flavor to every fillet.
One of the easiest ways to create a memorable fish fry is to combine plain breadcrumbs with your favorite Hi Mountain Seasonings blend before coating your catfish. The result is crispy, flavorful fillets that can be customized to suit everyone’s taste around the table.
If you enjoy just a touch of heat, Cajun Cowboy Seasoning delivers a flavorful Cajun kick that complements catfish without overpowering its delicate flavor. For those who like things a little spicier, Cajun Campfire Seasoning turns up the heat with bold Southwestern flavor.
Looking for something a little more traditional? Trail Dust Seasoning adds a savory Western-style blend that’s perfect for fried catfish, while Gourmet Fish Seasoning enhances the fish’s natural flavor with a balanced mix of herbs and spices, making it a favorite among anglers and seafood lovers alike.
The fun doesn’t stop with one recipe. Prepare several batches of breadcrumbs, each seasoned with a different Hi Mountain blend, and let family and friends sample a range of flavors. Everyone gets to choose a favorite, making each fish fry a little different from the last.
Simply season the breadcrumbs, coat the fillets, and fry until golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork. It’s a quick, easy meal that’s perfect after a successful day on the water.
“Fresh-caught blue catfish already make an outstanding meal,” said Hans Hummel, President of Hi Mountain Seasonings. “Our seasonings help anglers customize every fillet with flavors ranging from mild and savory to bold and spicy. It’s an easy way to make your next fish fry one your family and friends will be talking about long after the last fillet is gone.”
With dozens of premium seasonings, rubs, brines, marinades, jerky cures, and sausage kits, Hi Mountain Seasonings has become a trusted companion for hunters, anglers, and outdoor cooks who appreciate great flavor as much as great adventures.
The next time the blue catfish are biting, be prepared. With so many delicious seasoning combinations to try, you may find yourself wishing you’d brought a few extra rods.
