Cajun Catfish, Catfish Atchafalaya, Catfish Billy - who has your favorite?

Brewbachers has the Cajun Catfish, Mike Andersons used to have an off the menu Catfish Atchafalaya, and Roberto’s has the Catfish Billy. Different name but essentially the same dish - fried catfish with crawfish étouffée on top.
Believe it or not, I firmly believe the Gonzales Brewbachers Cajun Catfish is by far the best I’ve ever had. I try to get this dish whenever possible wherever I eat during Lent and even the brewbachers in Baton Rouge is different but still good but the one in Gonzales is off the charts in my opinion. I find it’s best when ordered to go because they scoop the étouffée into a bowl which provides much more juice than what you get when eating there (I don’t know why).
Who has your favorite version of this dish?

Don’t forget Catfish Tony’s. Never really thought about who had the best. It’s kind of always the same.

Catfish smothered in crawfish etouffee? Parrains has the best. Can't remember what its called but it's none of those.

The first time I had that dish was at Mike Anderson’s. It will always be the best for me.
I’m gona have to try brewbachers version now.
If the dish is served over rice it ruins it.

Would you ever order fried catfish and a bowl of etouffee separately and combine them or do they need to cook together?

Chimes does it pretty damn good. Had it twice in laffy around Christmas

They all suck compared to what I make. The biggest issue is no one trims catfish up properly before frying. I prefer flathead belly meat fried then my etouffee on top. Farm raised blue cat doesn't hold a candle to it. Farm raised can be made to taste ok if trimmed up though
