I'm working on getting set up to grow my own fish (non-commercial home production) and thinking about best eating species.

I'm planning on staying on a ketovore diet, so points for more fat, taste, versatility and also ease of developing non commercial food sources for the fish themselves.

Channel catfish, tilapia, bluegill, crappie, striped bass, trout, and possibly some other species like crawdads or freshwater shrimp might be possible in my situation.

As a corollary, I'm also thinking about what to grow to feed them.

How would you think about this? What comes to mind?

maybe larva IDK, worms

I definitely want to grow some red worms. I have a small bin now but I need about a thousand times more worms. :/

I've never done black soldier flies. I did meal worms once and later found out how allergenic they are. I don't think I'll be doing those again.

can you have multiple species? I think it'd suck to be stuck with just one kind of fish 🥲

I'm thinking by next year I'll have at least two tanks. And I'm not opposed to mixing species.

We had a small pond with catfish. They were very hardy and tasty 🤤
