Catfish festival used to be great when I was a kid in Winnsboro. Great food


What year did you graduate? I too was a kid in Winnsboro who enjoyed the festival. I remember how much of a let down it was when they stopped letting them sell crawfish inside the gates. We always went to to Wallace produce to get them after that.

I went one time probably about 10 years ago. It was hot as hell and no beer was being sold. WTF? A festival in Louisiana with no beer available. Never went back.

I would assume it being in Wisner would make it a little......less colorful?


How's the fish, I love some fried fish done right with some sweet hushpuppies.

There’s actually a handful of new catfish farms around Wisner.

You need to tell your boys to do a better job of promoting where you can get guaranteed US catfish. And also do a better job of getting it in restaurants. Yall should have every restaurant in downtown Covington that serves catfish.


Granted that is only like 3-4

Wisner
Home of Washington Commanders DT Phidarian Mathis. He's a former Alabama, Neville, and Wisner player too.

Went to his announcement ceremony at a cemetery next to a field in Wisner. They have plenty of room for expansion. To get there I drove thru cotton fields on a gravel road that was mostly dirt when you get to the cemetery.

ETA: A promising Wisner,High teammate died after being injured on a punt return. They wanted to go pro together. He had the announcement next to Tyrell Cameron's grave.

Harings Pride cooks it up fine. Their processing plant is just out of town. Have their own line of hushpuppies and seasoned fish fry as well.

Better learn your history baw. The Harings have been in the catfish business for many years. Raise shiners, catfish, have their own feed mill for catfish feed, dogfood, deer corn, etc.

Belzoni is the copycat.
