Chicken fried steak may be Oklahoma’s official state meal, but fried catfish deserves an honorable mention. The folks at Casey’s Catfish Corral in Ardmore know that this fried freshwater favorite holds a special place in the hearts of hungry Okies, and they serve it up with all the trimmings. Many regulars will tell you that Casey’s catfish is the best in the state, and you might be inclined to agree after feasting on a basket of hand-breaded filets served with a generous portion of fries, coleslaw and hush puppies. If you’re traveling on nearby I-35, stop at Casey’s and see what all the fuss is about.
