Catfish in Kenya
About This Catch
African Catfish (Clarias gariepinus), known locally as kambare or mudfish — a hardy, fast-growing species farmed in ponds and cages across Kenya and the wider East African region. The flesh is rich and slightly sweet, tender and flaky, with a higher oil content than tilapia that suits it to smoking, deep-frying and long-simmered stews. Its toughness is the commercial point: catfish survives transport and handling that would spoil more delicate species, so it reaches inland markets in good condition. Commonly traded live, fresh on ice, or smoked for shelf life. Our inventory reflects stock from verified pond and cage culture operations, aggregated across certified facilities. Currently 600 kg available across 6 certified storage facilities. Order via WhatsApp for current pricing and delivery.

6 locationsCommon Questions
- Is your catfish farmed or wild?
- Farmed. Stock comes from verified pond and cage culture operations, which is what makes supply steady year-round rather than seasonal.
- How much does catfish cost in Kenya?
- It varies with size, whether the fish is live, fresh or smoked, and the volume you need. We quote per consignment against stock actually in storage — send your requirement on WhatsApp.
- Can catfish be delivered inland?
- Yes. Catfish tolerates handling and transport better than most freshwater species, and is commonly traded live or smoked precisely because it reaches inland markets in good condition.
