Randy Rhodes

Biography

 Randy served as a military tank company commander and has worked for several catfish processors to include Southern Pride Catfish, before landing at Harvest Select, which was started in 1991 by five local farmers and is now owned by a private group that includes catfish farmers. The company and it’s stockholders farm over 4500 acres of U.S. Farm-raised Channel Catfish from the Mississippi Delta to west and central Alabama. This is the species of choice because of its immense popularity in the Southeast and Alabama, which is the countries leader in catfish farming, as well as the firmness of the fish, the mild flavor and flaky texture. Chefs love it because it can be prepared in a wide variety of ways. Broiled, grilled, fried…whatever the menu calls for.
