Not including the catfish barn where is the best place in the okc metro area to get some fried catfish?

I haven't tried it but from reviews I've read in other places Cajun King is really good.

The best catfish is the catfish you catch yourself.

That depends on how it's fixed. A great fisherman can be a lousy cook.

Very true. Pretty hard to mess up though.. Just dont burn it and be sure to get all the bones out.. lol

I think the all you can eat catfish at Mickey's Country Kitchen in Newcastle is the very best. Friday nights only.

The Shack just off of 63rd has great catfish.

Grill on the Hill as good catfish for lunch on Thursdays.

Ozzie's in Norman
Kendall's in Noble
Libby's in Goldsby

Curtis Watson's Restaurant at the McLoud exit on I-40
I like the catfish at Cajun King but it isn't traditional by any means
White River Fish Market in Tulsa on N. Sheridan, north of Pine St. (I know, but it is truly GREAT)
McGeehee's outside of Marietta, right on the Red River (Again, I know, but try it...you'll LOVE it!)

Haven't eat'n there is awhile. Is that a Thursday only thing?

Simon's Catch - Elk City. Hands down the absolute best catfish and steak. Yeah the drive might be long but its worth the trip - promise!

I think that's just the "special" for Thursday. They have a spicy catfish, too.

It is good and now you mention it I think I'll go there for lunch today ...

I went there for lunch, excellent as always and I ate too much.

I will add my support to those who have mentioned Cajun King as best catfish. I'm not a huge catfish fan, but I would eat their catfish almondine all day long. Magical stuff.

Yup, Cajun King has transformed the catfish into something amazing. Yummy! Plus Ken & Simeon are so sweet.

Catfish Cabin is the most over-rated catfish!

I heard McGeehee's ain't what it used to be... Apparently their catfish farm flooded or something and now they don't have the fresh catfish anymore.

The Steak and Catfish Barn is closing in August, so where do I go now? Catfish Cove is OK, but not great (and is pretty pricey.)

I'm not a big fish eater but several people from my office go to A Family Affair regularly for catfish on Fridays.

Best catfish? One that is alive and not served as food. :-P

Give me my walleye any day. :)

We go there on Friday's too..... catfish and cobbler! (haven't been in awhile, will have to put it on the list for this week or next)

Catfish Cove is terrible and is way too expensive, we do need to try the Catfish Barn before it closes.

Why is catfish barn in Edmond closing??

I heard they are retiring.

And the property has been sold.

Yep, I can't confirm but I've heard they are putting a McDonald's there.

catfish to mcfish .... progress baby, progress.
</snort>

This is like asking where's the best BBQ. Just eat around, find what YOU like and eat there.

Yep, I can't confirm but I've heard they are putting a McDonald's there.

Ditto.

Obviously, McDonald's won't go up anytime soon. Serious road construction will come first. Five or six years from now.

I thought about making a new thread, but seeing that it was mentioned here...
A Catfish Cove is opening today in the old Golden House/China Capital Buffet space (6201 NW Expressway), and it caught me by surprise. I thought nothing would go in there, and never noticed any construction (and I drive on the Expressway every day!). I guess the other stuff was so distracting (Raising Cane's, etc.), I completely missed it :P
Anyway, I guess I won't be going there, since most reviews I've read aren't good :/
