southern seafood

this place was very much a mom and pop in bfe hattiesburg. it took us a while to get from the interstate to this place, but it was worth it! their seafood was amazing.
between us we had catfish, shrimp, fries, cole slaw, gumbo, a chicken sandwich and bought some crawfish for later. everything was great except for the fries. the shrimp and boiled crawfish were extraordinary. the menu is out of date as far as cost. the 2pccatfishwith 6 shrimp was $12, the small bowl of gumbo was $6, etc.

really good seafood!. this review is based on two visits, both of which were great eating experiences. first, when you walk in, you note immediately this is a seafood market, with beautiful examples of fresh seafood displayed. what you don't notice is a seafood smell, just great food being cooked and served. i ordered the "small plate" withcatfishand shrimp, and two sides. both times just excellent and just enough food to fill me up. another member of my party ordered the ground mullet, and it was excellent. this last visit he ordered a shrimp poboy, and it was so large he had to bring half home to eat. my only concern in writing such a positive review is that i won't be able to get a seat next visit. (seating is a little tight, they will need to expand soon i believe.)

wow wow wow. i found southern seafood just by accident. this family-run business is marvelous. the fried items are so light, crisp and non-oily due to the attention paid by the owners. they must have some fine thermometer for their fryers. on a busy day you won't mind waiting for your order. i purchase fresh fish from them, letting them tell me what has been caught. the lump crab, claw crab or crab fingers for my crab salad are delish for my splurge(s). and if you can get out without sitting down to a combined catfish/shrimp/oyster plate you're stronger than i am. i actually brought home a couple of thecatfishfilets for another meal and shared with my neighbor. she's hooked. to be less guilty, their nice crisp green salad is great with any of their fried items. they also carry flavors of zatarains (reasonable price also) that i can't find anywhere else. (tip: enroute the gas station about a block a way usually has the cheapest gas in town so i always fill up!!) now if i can get mama le to put a fish combo pho on the menu or bring me some from her home!!

came for the fresh seafood and ended up with fresh seafood and delicious friedcatfishand shrimp. very surprised to see that they sell cook food. a must try! right outside downtown hattiesburg.
