    Food was above average for this area and you get good sized portions. Staff is super friendly and prices were also comparable to their competitors. I will say they are better than the catfish trailer in Collinsville.

    I have family living in northern Lauderdale County, Mississippi, and when I am visiting there it is not unusual for us to go to Okatibbee Creek Fish Camp for a meal. The building is a converted/expanded service station. The general dining area is one large room with picnic style tables and benches. Hush puppies (both hot and mild) and cole slaw are spontaneously delivered to each table even before orders are taken. The servers are prompt and friendly and given the dynamic of the rural community are often personally known to the diners. In that same vein, I don't remember a time that I have ever been there when at least a few of the family members I was with didn't know at least a few of the other customers there. Visiting between tables is common. That having been said, newcomers are absolutely welcomed. The fare is what you would expect of an inland southern fish camp: lots of fresh catfish prepared in a variety of ways and shrimp, oysters, and crab (unfortunately, all frozen) up from the Gulf. All of it tends to be breaded and/or deep fried. There is also a grilled chicken option, a hamburger steak option, and two ribeye steak options, all with appropriate sides. My understanding is that the Okatibbee Creek Fish Camp is only open for dinner and at that only a few days a week. Please call 601-737-2051 for specific information. As an uncle of mine used to say, it's so rural that it's downright local. I have no idea what anyone would be doing in that area who doesn't live there or who didn't, like me, at least grow up there; but if you should find yourself--for whatever reason--in the north end of Lauderdale County, Mississippi looking for an authentic local dining experience, you're not going to do any better than the Okatibbee Creek Fish Camp.

    Not the best nor the worse fish camp in the area. Service is good, owner has had tendency to fuss at servers.

    Been 5 years since I've been here. My mom wanted some oysters and shrimp so I made a bee line down…read morehere for her. This place is always hopping and thankfully I got here at just the right time. Got the s6 shrimp and oyster combo plate with fries and hush puppies. She's gobbling it up.

    Overall 4 Stars If…read moreyou want a decent Po-Boy in Meridian, make a pit stop at Seafood Express. Get your gas and chips but you GOTTA' get their sandwiches! Ambiance - A locally owned gas store / deli, you can order a variety of FRIED food, both Surf or Turf, plates, family style or a la cart. The only fresh seafood they might have is Crawfish, when in seasoned. There are three or four small tables to seat and eat. I recommend as order as takeout. Service - the staff were fast and friendly. With a steady supply of locals coming through, they ready to take your order. The deli section is stocked with a lot of fried items so you can get your food quicker. However, I would recommend to get one of their PoBoy sandwiches. You won't go wrong. You may have to wait 5-10 minutes but it worth it. Food - 4 Stars Shrimp PoBoy combo w fries and drink. $13.99 I would have given it 5 stars but the fries were overcooked and too crunchy. The quality of the potato of the fries could be better too. The bread was fluffy and toasty just as it should be for a PoBoy! The amount of shrimp was overwhelming. See pictures. The sandwhich came w lettuce, onions, pickles and tomatoes. No mayo. I ordered the 8" combo meal but they have a 6" size, if you counting your calories because your cholesterol will still be high with the amount of fried food! Oh, I forgot, they have shrimp fried rice too. So get a side order! I forgot to order mine. Bummer. Enjoy
