If you think Oklahoma doesn't have seafood as fresh as the coastal states, think again. White River Fish Market is a restaurant and market under one roof that has fresh seafood flown in daily from around the world so that Oklahomans can feast on fresh fish. For over 90 years they have been selling fish as good as anything you would find in the finest seafood restaurants in the country and on any given day you'll find a line out the door to prove it. Come feast on the best fried fish in Oklahoma.
White River Fish Market has two locations, one in Tulsa close to the airport, and another one in Broken Arrow. Both locations have a restaurant and market under one roof.
If you ask the locals where is the best place to get seafood in the Tulsa area, they'll direct you to White River Fish Market. The market sells a variety of seafood options for you to take home or you can dine at the restaurant and enjoy a perfectly prepared meal.
The family-style restaurant usually has a line out the door and you'll see everything from businessmen and women in suits to nearby plant and airport workers. It's the kind of place where everyone is welcome and everyone is family.
If you love fried catfish, then you'll love their perfectly breaded fillets that come with two hushpuppies and two sides.
Or, if you like exotic foods they also offer fried alligator. We weren't brave enough to try it but we hear it's pretty tasty.
The fried jumbo shrimp dinner is another winner on the menu. With seven hand-breaded shrimp and sides, it's just about perfect in every way.
Love fried oysters? If so, they serve those too! You can pretty much find the best fried seafood at this dining gem. But, don't worry if you don't want fried food, they have a large selection of grilled seafood as well.

Another delicious seafood restaurant that should be on your bucket list is Bodean's in Tulsa. They are a local, family-owned restaurant that offers fine dining with seafood options flown in from around the world.
