Fried Catfish and shrimp…spot on! Reminds me of our family’s Friday Fish Fry’s! Mr. Thomas and his son are great. They make sure you have everything you need and take time for real conversation. I recommend Mississippi Catfish to all my family and friends.

Located inside 7 Peaks Restaurant & Bar, this place is an absolute gem. From the very first visit, we were hooked—and now we make it a point to eat here at least once every time we’re in town (and we live in Vegas!). We’ve tried the fried catfish, snapper, prawns, and chicken, and everything has been fried and seasoned to perfection—crispy on the outside, flavorful and tender on the inside. The portion sizes are generous for the price, making it an even better value. If there’s one small drawback, it’s the limited side options—fries, potato salad, or coleslaw. A few more choices would make the experience even better. Overall, we highly recommend it. You will definitely leave satisfied!

Mississippi Catfish never disappoints. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently excellent. You can truly taste the care that goes into every dish. The service is just as outstanding; friendly, welcoming, and attentive. It’s a family-run business, and you can feel that personal touch every time you visit. We’ve been coming here for years and will continue to support this amazing local spot.

Food is so good! And it’s a black l-owned family business, I love to support! My fave is the snapper & prawns combo with black eyed peas and hush puppies! Treat yourself!

Once I found this gem, I referred all my family. The food is seasoned to perfection and the portions are plentiful. My 16 month old wanted to taste my food and really enjoyed the snapper.
