"This seafood institution, less than an hour outside of New Orleans on Lake Maurepas, is known for incredible thin-cut fried catfish and a scenic location on the banks of the Pass Manchac, a winding, seven-mile-long waterway linking Lake Maurepas to Lake Pontchartrain. Family and locally owned since 1934, a second Middendorf’s location opened in Slidell in 2019." - Beth D’Addono
