A local family-owned spot serving fresh, well-seasoned seafood. Mississippi Catfish in El Sobrante has been around for years and was previously located in Richmond. It's always nice to support a family-owned business that has built a strong local following. I ordered the D & D plate which comes with prawns, hush puppies, and 2 sides- I ordered fries. Everything came out fresh, hot, and well seasoned. The red snapper was cooked perfectly crispy on the outside while still tender inside, and the seasoning was just right. The hush puppies and fries were a great addition to the plate and paired well with the fish. Simple, flavorful food done right. Service is excellent. Definitely feels like family Loved the meal and will definitely be back. read more

Mississippi Catfish - D&D - Seafood Near Me - El Sobrante, California

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! read more

Finally went for the 1st time and wasn't disappointed. The gentleman who takes the order is very nice. Had fried chicken which was was seasoned and fried to perfection as well snapper which was seasoned well but could have been fried a bit harder for my taste. Both were with a side of fries that were perfect and their Cajun potato salad, which after some hesitation and a sample I decided to get. I will definitely be back!! read more

It's still open.! Great food. New location. Thx Mr. Thomas and Mr. Thomas jr. See you soon

Do not eat here total rip off!!! I got a 4 piece of fish and what I got was disgusting!! The fish was paper thin!!! And they cut the pieces up into super small pieces!!! The sides were in small ketchup containers!!! 4 piece of fish with one tarter sauce!!! This place sucks!!! read more

Happy Juneteenth! I like to support black family-owned businesses, especially today. I called in my order: the 'CeeCee'- prawns, snapper. hush puppies plus 2 sides. I have no complaints except I wanted black eyed peas and they weren't serving them today! I'll be back :) read more

Mississippi Catfish - snapper, prawns + hush puppies - Seafood Near Me - El Sobrante, California

We've eaten here twice and both times the fish was fried perfectly. Nice and tender with a light crust. Very flavorful and not greasy. The chicken wings were fried a little harder than I like, but they were still tasty. You can't eat everyone's potato salad but again, it was good and so was the coleslaw! Will definitely be going back. So all in all EVERYTHING as good! Now I don't have to DoorDash from Soul Trans in Vallejo. read more

Great soul food! Highly recommend their fish and prawns combo. They even give you a few complementary hush puppies with each order. Now collocated with a modern bar that also serves Indian food from a separate kitchen. An improvement from the original Richmond location. You can sit down to eat onsite with a drink, or get takeaway. read more

The fish is overcooked and very small sizes. The so-called sides are put in tiny cups most restaurants generally use to put a small amount of dipping sauce in. read more

My partner and I visited this location hoping to enjoy some Indian food, as we had previously dined at the Copper Mug. Unbeknownst to us, the Copper Mug is closed on Wednesdays, although food is still served by another business at the same location--Mississippi Catfish. When we arrived, no one greeted us, so I approached the window to ask a question. The man working--who was on the phone the entire time--was extremely rude and dismissive. I politely inquired about the Copper Mug's hours, and instead of offering a simple explanation, he responded sarcastically and told me to "read his lips," as if I were being difficult or unintelligent. His tone was condescending and disrespectful, and I was genuinely shocked by the lack of basic customer service. The experience felt not only unprofessional but borderline discriminatory. I do not recommend visiting this place. Poor service and a complete lack of courtesy--definitely a place to avoid. read more

OMG... They reopened 11/1/2025 @ 5216 Sobrante Ave, El Sobrante right behind the old location. The Sir T is my meal of choice and I was not disappointed. DELICIOUS cooked to perfection. I've patronize this business for 15+ years and have never been disappointed with quality and quantity. read more

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

Mississippi Catfish - Shrimp Po' Boy sandwich, black eyed peas and Stella Artois on tap. - Seafood Near Me - El Sobrante, California

Terrible service, food and dirty. Go and read the other reviews. Don't spend your money here.

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. read more

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. read more

Fish was delicious, fresh and expertly prepared. Prices were also very reasonable. Easy and convenient pick-up.

Please consider making your own tarter sauce. It's so simple. The little packets are so gross.

I was excited to see them reopen after remodeling. This is my go-to for really good fried fish that is a good value and portion size and doesn't hurt my wallet. I also love that it is family owned and close by. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Great owner/chef, very nice guy. Best catfish ever....and my mother-in-law who is from Mississippi says the same!

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 read more

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! read more

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. read more

I love the new ambience! Full bar now! It has always been great food, so the bar with beer on tap is icing on the cake!

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

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.

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

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

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. read more
