Mississippi Catfish

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!

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!

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.

This is the original place that has been at Richmond for 20 years. The building was sold so they have now moved to this sports bar. The food is still the same great flavor, just perfect in every way. There are a lot more indoor seating as well and you have more drinks option as it is in a bar.

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.

This is a total waste!!! Paper thin Fish!! Side’s were in ketchup container!!! I got a 5 piece of fish and got one tartar sauce, come on!!! They cut fish up into small pieces!!! Super bland no seasoning!!! I would never recommend this place!! I also believe the other reviews are fake!!!

This establishment is no longer there as of September 2025 – the building is closed, shuttered, and there is no sign or indication for "Mississippi Catfish".

Good Food. Good People. They are a pop up at 7 Peaks Restaurant.

I'm going back! Shrimp poboy: Best shrimp sandwich I've ever had. I'm going back to get another one. But I don't consider it a poboy because it doesn't come on French bread, and it doesn't come dressed. Fully dressed = tomatoes, lettuce, pickles, mayonnaise, and hot sauce. I ordered it "fully dressed", and they asked if I wanted potato salad and coleslaw on it. I said no, so it was just the bread, shrimp, and I think it was tartar sauce. I was so mad when I opened it, and then I tasted it... I was so happy. I didn't get the catfish, but the shrimp was perfectly seasoned & fried, so I already know that catfish will be good. I'm going back to get some of that too. Sides: They seasoned the fries too. Perfection. The hushpuppies were good. Out here, they make hushpuppies too dry or too soggy; they usually have no taste. These were the perfect texture and taste. The potato salad is good. The Cole slaw is good. It was just all good! And I think it's run by a family, which I love to support. They were so friendly, polite, helpful, etc. They bout to be sick of me. I'm going back for EVERYTHING.

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

Super friendly ! Super amazing food! Chicken Wings! Catfish! Prawns! Hush puppies! Fries! Coleslaw! Black Eyed Peas! Everything was delicious We will definitely drive from Concord to eat here. Thank you Thomas

I stopped in a few days ago. The food was great! The staff were very professional friendly and polite. I would recommend this business to anyone who wants to enjoy some good fish and wings! I will be eating here again!

Awesome food! The fish is super tasty, not dry like some fried fish can be. Definitely coming back here.

You have got to go here. Best food we've had in a long time, and the service was top-notch. A++ all around. Fried catfish, fried prawns, fried chicken, hush puppies, black-eyed peas, coleslaw, and potato salad! Topped off with peach cobbler that melts in your mouth and Texas crack cake to become addicted to! This is the kind of cooking that makes you wish you could take the chef home! Go... Eat... and be enjoy a little bite of heaven.

Food was delish and bountiful. I think they gave us a few extra pieces. Don't let the fact that it's in a bar, fool you. The food was fresh, no old oil taste. We got a snapper and shrimp combo. The batter is flavorful. We ordered take out but it's probably crispier if you eat it right away. Hush puppies were good. We got double fries but had known they had black eyed Susans, we would have gotten those as well. It's $3 a piece for a la carte. Oh, and my favorite part.....IT'S BLACK OWNED! The bark looks like a nice neighborhood spot and since we don't live far, we will be having fish Fridays after work! There's a pool table as well. Love love love! The Hollidays will be back!

I would also like to add they are open ONLY Friday thru Sunday just like their old location in Richmond.

The is the same place that was formally in Richmond. The building they were in was sold so now they are at this bar. The food is just as good, crispy fried with perfect seasoning. The bar is clean with lots of seating. The staff are nice and checked in on us multiple times. Please go support the small local business that has been around more than 20 years! Forgot to mention, desserts peach cobbler and cake are back! I am not sure the hours. The Saturday I went to was 12pm to 8pm.

Really good food, lots of parking Low prices The fish is freshly made. The restaurant has a bar. Up and under El sobrante is nearby

The black eyed peas are sweet! Omg. Yuck. I came here before and the black eyed peas were soooooo bomb! They were creamy and savory and homemade tasting. So good. Came back with my fam about 6 months later and either they accidentally put sugar when it called for salt or they changed the recipe. Either way disgusting. And I'm so disappointed. The fish was okay but so small of pieces. The fries were good. Coleslaw is ok. But I don't think we will be back.

Food was delicious. I would definitely go back there again. Cannot think of another fish place in the area that I have enjoyed as much.

Descent. wish there was one closer to east bay and not Contra Costa area. Alot of fish places have gone down hill. This is the closest so far to home cooking.

The food is very good. The peas were on point as well as the fish and sub. I would definitely eat here again.

The fish is delicious. The fish has a good flavor and they give you a nice serving. On the other hand the sides NOT SO MUCH,the portions are small. In my opinion if they up the size of the sides all would be perfect. Try them I think you would like Mississippi Catfish.

The food is good. If they used a little less salt, it would be great. The place has a local family feel. Good service too!

Find your happy place here. Straight up authentic food, with fresh Catfish & Hush Puppies.

The fish is excellent here! My mother just moved here from Mississippi and we were looking for a place to get good catfish. She's picky about her fish and says we don't need to look any further. Everyone who works there was very friendly and made us feel welcome. We will definitely go back, often.

My husband Chick picked up some catfish, with the hush puppies and coleslaw on Saturday. OMG! was DELICIOUS! Chick enjoyed seeing Thomas again. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND MISSISSIPPI CATFISH! You will not be disappointed.
