The only way to beat em’ is to eat em’

The Chesapeake bay is the largest estuary in the USA, and it has a problem. A hungry problem at best. We have invasive species that have infiltrated our waters. These intruders have displaced river ecosystems, displaced native prey species, and are in direct competition with native predatory species. So were here to help.

At wild country seafood, we target and sell two invaders: the blue catfish, and the northern snakehead. They may not be the prettiest fish, but they are delicious. And thats where you, the consumer comes in: The only way to beat em’, is to eat em’.

Northern Snakehead

Also known as Chesapeake Channa, the northern snakehead is a formidable predator. Native to eastern asia, this fish has travelled far to reach our waters. This fish has a specialized skill set in hunting, being able to survive in low oxygenated waters, powerful muscular jaws, and boasting a wide palette for prey species, makes this fish a major issue in our river and wetland systems. But luckily its very delicious, boasting lean white meat, this fish may have the bite, but so do we.

Blue catfish

The big bad blue catfish. The blue crabs worse nightmare. Blue catfish are North Americas largest species of catfish. Although being native to midwestern river systems, these gluttons were released into the Chesapeake bay, thus starting their invasive rampage. Highly opportunistic hunters, and with some individuals weighing over a 100 pounds, these fish mean business. Once established in a river system, they can displace native species by 75%, as seen in the james, Rappahannock, and york rivers. Its time to take the cat out of the bag, and put a stop to these massive menaces.
