Using dichotomous logit analysis, the study measures the effects of relative price perceptions and demographic factors on the probability of restaurant catfish consumption in the United States. The study uses data from the 1988 Southern Regional Aquaculture Center Consumer Survey. Relative price perceptions, income, race, religion, urbanization, and region are found to be significant determinants of the probability of restaurant catfish consumption. The probability of consumption is higher among consumers in urban areas and the Central regions and lower among low income consumers, Hispanics, Catholics, and consumers in the New England and Mid‐Atlantic regions.
