"Memphis Catfish" AWESOME FRIED CATFISH

[Drummer's Wife]

Just called and asked for a website with menu, but they said it is not up yet. The lady was kind enough to go over the menu with me and here is what I can remember...

Catfish plates - 2, 3, 5, 10, or 20 piece
Comes with choice of bread
Comes with sides (3 piece includes 2 sides) - some of the ones she mentioned were corn, potato salad, green beans, fried okra, french fries, onion rings, fried green tomatoes

Yes, catfish plates.... 2 piece, fried grilled, blackened, however you want. Catfish po boys, tacos.....shrimp, same as for catfish. Sausage plates, kids menu. All very good food. $7-$11 plates, plenty food too.

We ate there tonight. VERY good! Catfish breading seasoned perfectly. Onion rings were the best ever!

We ate early so there weren't many people there but it started to get busier before we left.

I hope they do well. We will definitely be back!

We ate there Friday night, I will add another vote for good food and will be a return customer.
The fish rolls were pretty good too.
Looking forward to trying both the blackened and grilled catfish, plus the sausage, and 'kicked up' versions.

We ate there on Friday night also. Very friendly staff and a family friendly atmosphere. The food was very good also. I had a fried catfish dinner while my wife had a shrimp and catfish combo. Both were very tasty. We can't wait to go back and sample other menu items!

Meh. Ate there Sat evening. Had catfish and shrimp combo. It was ok, nothing special. Definitely not the best stuff I've had. They use a cornmeal based batter which I don't really like....has those little balls of cornmeal everywhere. may go back and try blackened. As for the fried stuff, I'd rather go to Dodies.

They have one TV in there and when I walked in Avatar was on and absolutely blaring loud! Right after I sat down the guy went and turned it down but it was still way loud. Felt like I was sitting in the theater. Kinda ruined the experience.

It's order at the counter type place like Pei Wei etc. Took 30 mins to get my food after I sat down. Can't really fault them for that though since they just opened. Might go back. Might not.

Cornmeal Catfish rules dude. I don’t know anywhere around Memphis that uses the breaded except maybe fast food chains.

For the ones that are not excited about hushpuppies, they have a Tennessee toast. A friend I took there is a toast person so we had both to sample. Toast is good too. It is a little like Texas toast with a touch of garlic as I understand it. Anyway, there is an option there.

Do they have any entrees besides catfish? My wife really likes catfish, but I don't. I'd like to take her to this place, but I'm wondering if they have anything I'd enjoy eating? The fried green tomatos do sound good!!

Cornmeal batter is the only way to make catfish! I don't mind flour based breading on other types of fish, but catfish is "special"
