I think somebody told me once you have to partially freeze catfish to slice it thin. I've personally never done it though.
I would guess shipping it would be expensive.

Most restaurants here slice them partially frozen on a deli slicer. Probably will be hard to find them thin cut anywhere.

Did you check out any of the thin catfish farms ?

If you do end up with big filets and end up cutting them yourself, I recommend that you cut the bottom layer of grayish-pink fat off. The fat on catfish, especially the big filets, can make it taste funky, IMO.

I always do. I discard probably 25% of the weight of the catfish filets I buy. Has anyone ever found that gray junk on catfish ordered at a restaurant?

You just need a sharp assed filet knife to do the job.

Was coming to suggest a deli slicer, but saw it mentioned. Also, google ways to slice something thin using household objects - there are some genius ideas out there.

If the fillets are big and thick you can slice them as they thaw. That us what I'd do. Call a wholesale foodservice supply house and see what they have.
Edited to add. Read the other posts who all said what I said only quicker and worded better.
Do you have a sam's? They carry delta pride smallish fillets usually. Wally world may carry them too. I have seen them at Jewel in Chicago, so Delta Pride catfish gets around.

There are several thin catfish farms in kneela this year due to lack of water, some have even had seed ticks..

yeah, freeze them and run through a slicer, easiest way to do it.

That's a lot of work for a thin piece of fish. I just use my knife after they are thawed and take my time so as not to have a thin sliced hand.

You could try cutting thin strips of Catfis instead of slicing the whole filet. So it's like sicken strips. We use these on our poboys and platters and people love it.
The fish to batter ratio you can work out to your liking and it cooks pretty quickly as well

Don't know if there is Sam's in Philly but their flash frozen catfish when thawed is some of the best catfish I have ever fried....be a lot cheaper.
