The Best Fried Catfish In The Midwest Can Be Found At This Unassuming Catfish Hole In Oklahoma
Shad’s Catfish Hole is a hidden dining gem tucked away in Sallisaw that serves some of the best fried catfish and hushpuppies in the midwest. The tin building has no windows and the ambiance is lacking a bit, but the food is off-the-charts delicious. The locals have been keeping this place a secret for years, but I think it’s time we spread the good news.
Shad's Catfish Hole is locally-owned in Sallisaw and is the kind of place where you go for amazing food and not the ambiance.
The place is rustic and clean, but there are no windows so it's pretty dark. But, that's okay because we are here for fried catfish and hushpuppies. and it's hard to find better.
As you'll see on the menu board, they also serve frog legs and crab legs. They are open for business Wednesday through Saturday from 4:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Meat eaters, don't fret. They also serve a tasty sirloin with a choice of side. Other menu items include salmon, trout, chicken, and fried or boiled shrimp.
Another great restaurant in Oklahoma that serves amazing catfish is McGeehee’s in Marietta. They have been in business for more than four decades, and very little has changed since they opened.
