Fisch im Blätterteig mit Rande & Meerrettich

Fish in puff pastry with beetroot & horseradish

Modern, local – and surprisingly different

Catfish? Many still think of an earthy, heavy fish.
Time to rewrite that image.

With our LocalFish premium catfish, we show how delicate, clean and elegant catfish can actually taste and incorporate it into a dish that brings exactly this quality to the plate:
in crispy puff pastry, combined with beetroot and horseradish.

🐟 Why our premium catfish is different

Our catfish grows in a closed indoor recirculation system. This means:

  • no contact with contaminated waters
  • protection against environmental pollutants such as PFAS
  • full control over water and feed
  • clear water thanks to recirculation biofilter

The result:
👉 no earthy taste
👉 clear, delicate aroma
👉 perfect base for modern cuisine
👉 loved in fine dining 

🍽️ The idea behind the dish

Here, quality meets contrast:

  • Delicate catfish
  • sweet-earthy beetroot
  • fresh horseradish kick
  • crispy puff pastry

A dish that not only tastes great but also looks good – this pink-gold contrast is simply an eye-catcher. The snow-white catfish fillet is the highlight.
