Providing only the highest quality catfish is extremely important to the Guidry’s. In order to ensure Guidry’s brand catfish is of the highest quality, we have put in place a detailed system of checks and inspections our catfish must first pass through. Our QC process begins way before the fish arrive at our processing facility and continue even after the fish are sold to consumers and loaded on trucks for shipment. Every load of freshly-harvested catfish that we process here at Guidry’s has first passed several rounds of quality control testing and flavor checking to ensure only the best tasting and healthiest catfish get the Guidry label. So, after passing three separate flavor checks, we purchase our catfish and dispatch one of our specially trained truck drivers who will be transporting the live catfish from the pond to our processing facility. We are the only catfish processing facility that hauls 100% of its live fish for production. Our specially designed live- haul units provide a stable environment for the catfish during transport. As a result, our fish arrive healthy and unstressed yielding white and tender fillets.
