#3 on the list... tell me where you've seen this concept before.

They have a 4 piece meal, 6, and 8. They have a kids meal with 3. They have a meal with the fish on bread.

The fish meals come with fries, hush puppies, cole slaw, and "crazy sauce".

It's the Cane's of fish.

And notice I said fish. Despite the nola.com article, nowhere in their advertising, menu, etc, do they mention catfish. They always say "fish". I'm pretty sure they are using Swai. Which is frustrating, considering their location... but it's cheap I guess.

I like High Hat's whole the best. THE GOAT for fillets was Barrow's.

In the hood, small or large plate. Fish, potato salad, pickles and white bread. That is it. It was perfect.

I don't get the love for Middendorfs thin fried catfish..... just as soon batter a sheet of paper and fry it. If I'm eating fish I want fish, not batter.


They make a thick cut fried catfish you can order.

Yes they do, but truth be told their thick is the same or thinner as a regular places fish. Not to mention it's not cheap. I can get a catfish lunch with wild caught catfish at a gas station for $6.95 and barely finish it. But it's not on a lake and it's not 100 years so maybe that's where the extra $7 bucks come in.
