Rob’s Recommendations for Fried Catfish

We get a lot of mail from readers asking where my favorite catfish restaurants are. So I thought it appropriate to give you some of the ones that I like to go to.

Pacific Star Oyster Bar: two locations on 183 and off Highway 79 in Round Rock.
Dry Dock at Canary Nest: at Burnet and 2222 (Koening)
Catfish Parlour: two locations on Research and Ben White
Hoover’s Cooking: two locations on Manor and Research
Cherry Creek Catfish: On South Manchaca at Stassney

You can’t go wrong with any of the above locations. I like ‘em all when I am craving catfish. My favorite hushpuppies are at Catfish Parlour, but each restaurant has it’s own unique take on this uniquely southern. And the choices extend to blackened, broiled and or sautéed catfish at most of these places as well.
