Indiana may be relatively landlocked, but that doesn’t mean we don’t enjoy seafood. Hoosiers love fish, especially fried, and in Indiana, nothing beats fried catfish. While you can find this fried delicacy throughout the state, there’s one incredible rustic restaurant that offers endless fried catfish…and you’re going to want to check it out.

Unfortunately, since the time of publication Clayton Cafe has closed.
