According to the Bible, you may eat anything with fins and scales. Catfish have fins and scales, so the answer to the question is "no".

Leviticus 11:9-12

"These you may eat, of all that are in the waters. Everything in the waters that has fins and scales, whether in the seas or in the rivers, you may eat. But anything in the seas or the rivers that has not fins and scales, of the swarming creatures in the waters and of the living creatures that are in the waters, is detestable to you. You shall regard them as detestable; you shall not eat any of their flesh, and you shall detest their carcasses. Everything in the waters that has not fins and scales is detestable to you."

Answer:

The "catfish" is "unclean" by the definition of God's dietary commandment. It "has no scales" and is what is called by some a "skinfish."
