That looks good. There used to be a place in Gun Barrel City that was the best I ever had. Not sure if it’s still there.

I took one of the bosses there for his birthday...usually he pays, but I got ahead of him in line and paid. I told him I'd take him there again this year, but after last year, he was gonna have to pay....

There used to be a place called McGeHees just north of the Oklahoma border. Said to have a little runway to fly in, ive passed over it once but never stopped. Anybody been there and hows the runway? Talked to a couple thats been there many years back and they said it was the best catfish around.

There’s a great local place near me in Danbury,TX(Fillipps Cafe) that has been around since the late 50’s that churns out fried catfish daily. Fried shrimp is great too. Always some old salts that are members of the Beri lake bass club always there BS’ing .

When I was a kid, my family spent a week in the summer at Caddo State Park. There was a little place close to Johnson’s Ranch called Haddad’s that, I thought, had the best catfish I ever ate. It was before the catfish filets craze and they served whole catfish. Of course, there was also the Big Pines Lodge that also had good fish. Lots of good catfish places down here in East Texas now, but they will never measure up to those Caddo joints.

I think you remember the food you ate when you were the hungriest, I can recall what was the best catfish I ever had and the best pizza best Steak and I was about starved down each time.

Sams in noble ok outside norman Hook line & sinker off lemon ave in Dallas Hook line and sinker is great. Used to have a location up north on Preston also that was very good They used to have an awesome Mexican shrimp cocktail also, but they must have changed their shrimp supplier because about 7 years ago, their shrimp got smaller and not nearly as good.

The green frog in jackboro always had good catfish on buffet on fridays You can get catfish there now, but a chick from Wise County bought the place and changed it up. I think it is better now. On Thursdays they have calf fries, collard greens and mac and cheese on special. good stuff. I have been eating weekly at Dukes Fish Shack near Kilgore lately, and I like their offerings.

When I was a kid Bill Martins Zuider Zee was dang good.
Chicken Express is a good way to get your fix if nothing else is available.
Try the new St. Argyles in Argyle. Great cajun seafood.

I have never eaten there but a friend that has a house up there says the catfish place in Cartwright, Ok is good. I haven't been there in years but Windy's across the dam at Texoma was pretty good. They have those pickled green tomatoes also. We eat at the Iredell Cafe a few times a year and it is good for a hole in the wall.
I hate photobucket.

I was always a fan of Irbys in granbury but it's been years. I like mine too Irbys is no more. Now called Bucks and tried it once and will not try it again. Not even close to catfish I had when it was Irbys.

Nothing like a spring break fish fry with family and friends at Lake Granger Willis Creek Park each year for the last 15 years. I'm usually full by the time we get through frying. Man those samples are good and it keeps anyone else from getting sick if we did something wrong. Shiner Bock for dessert.
