I want to fry some fish this weekend. I'm trying to catch it tomorrow morning, but in case we strike out, where's the best seafood market? HEB? I assume if we buy it'll be catfish.

Pro Tip. Dont buy catfish from the sea. YWIA
J/K. HEB is pretty good but you need to obviously be on your toes. The snapper and cod are usually pretty good. Freshwater trout as well.

Yes. Catfish is seafood. Unless you're a smartass. Or a yankee.
I just wanna fry some fish and drink some beer. Salt water, fresh water. I don't care. Fish is seafood to me.
Readfields
We've bought the huge farm raised catfish filets from Readfield's before and they were good.

Does Readfields carry fresh fish? All I ever remember seeing there is frozen fish. The only decent fresh fish we've found in town so far has been at HEB.

My experience with HEB fish is that it is frozen, and then they thaw it to put it in the display. We asked if they had any of whatever we were needing and they said we could just grab the frozen ones, because that's what they use, they just thaw them out and open the packages.
I thought about Readfields and was in there getting some meat yesterday but didn't see any catfish, but I didn't look terribly hard. It is all frozen, but I'd feel better buying it there than the frozen section at one of the bigger stores.
We're about to head out now to try and catch a few cats but will probably hit up HEB if we don't get any.

HEB is the best by far and they do have FRESH seafood if it was previously frozen the have to disclose that
Readfields only sells it by the box if you need a bunch of it. They have US or imported. I actually recommend the imported, as the US ones I recently got were extremely fishy tasting (in a bad way).
I just get it from HEB now myself.

Same here I usually hit the HEB butcher booth and had good luck with fish and seafood. Same with their Steaks usually have good price on USDA Prime cuts.
Basically all commercially caught fish is instantly flash frozen on the boat.
Coming from a guy that eats a lot of catfish, I'd buy tilapia before catfish. Problem with commercial catfish is they don't remove the fat layer on the outside. That's what gives it the strong flavor.
It doesn't fry up as well either. Got skunked so we hit up HEB. First batch I left it on and it didn't fry well and was soggy on that side. Second batch it was removed and was much better.
I was pleased with it all though. Bought 4 fillets of catfish and a couple flounder fillets and cut them into strips. I'll buy again. Probably just under 2lbs of fillets for about $14.

Glad you got your fish fix.
No freshwater fish is seafood. Seafood comes from the sea. And I'm no yankee, but rather born and raised on Texas coast.

If catfish isn't seafood, is it poultry?
2 things:
1. I looked it up and it seems that folks that live near a sal****er coast tend to understand seafood differently than people that grew up inland. For the majority of the US, who don't grow up near a coast, the language is understood that "seafood" does encompass all creatures that live in water that aren't plants. In the UK, that definition is different, since so many folks live near the marine coast. So, if you grew up away from the coast, you would understand that word differently. So, you were certainly correct in that use. I learned something. I've always differentiated the two.
2. Just for your info:

4. Ridiculing you
Those who live with narcissism may find it difficult to hold positive and negative feelings for someone at the same time. As a result, things may get heated in an argument. You may experience insults, put-downs, and even mocking behaviors, like laughing as you express hurt.
Some examples include:
"That's stupid."
"You're so crazy."
"There's something wrong with you."

I'm going to be honest with you. I've got a great buzz going on the golf course right now so i may have misinterpreted that post. If I understand that correctly you're calling me a narcissist for thinking it was silly people felt so strongly about catfish not being seafood. Correct me if I'm wrong (again).
I do not believe catfish is seafood either I could be wrong but does the word sea not mean it is saltwater is there a sea I do not know about that is fresh water
Seafood. Tuna. Salmon. Crabs. Prawns
shrimp. Redfish.
I do not consider catfish seafood but I know absolutely who can figure this out for us. Post on Outdoor board
Edit for salt water Ha

Neither. Always thought it was fresh water fish.
I'll eat salt-water fish but not fresh water for the most part. I consider catfish something I don't eat.
The Seafood Platter at Pappadeaux comes with catfish fillets
Well according to HEB all but two varieties of fresh fish are "fresh never frozen" including the catfish. The Ahi Tuna and Chilean Sea Bass are both labeled "previously frozen".
Incidentally, they label catfish as "seafood".

OP was just looking to fry some fish! Next!
whoa. thats some menu. when is it opening?
Great menu. Horrible location- at least for the next 3 years.

Oh dang, that menu looks really good. Actual Gulf seafood!
So re the "shoppe" part, will they have an actual fresh seafood market as well? I would brave the horrible traffic and roadwork for that!

I don't know... it's not imminent, from the looks of things. Signage is up but work still to do before they will be open for business.tbone94 said:
