After graduating from the University of Southern Mississippi, Daniella began to hone her writing skills through various internships. In the years since, she’s had the privilege of having her articles appear in several publications, such as the Mississippi-based Parents & Kids Magazine.

When searching for a great place to eat, a country fish house is a welcomed sight. Synonymous with great food and casual digs, there’s no better place to satisfy your craving for a homemade meal in a setting to match. And while fish houses aren’t as common as they once were, we’ve still got plenty here in the Magnolia State – and one you don’t want to miss is The Country Fisherman. Take a look:
The Country Fisherman first opened its doors in Jackson in 1988. Since then, two other locations have opened – one in Byram and one in Pearl.
A must-visit destination for those craving country cooking, The Country Fisherman specializes in Southern cuisine, including Mississippi-raised catfish, which is caught daily.
Though the same home-style fare can be found at all three restaurants, it’s the Jackson locale that boasts an old-fashioned fish house vibe – complete with plank paneling, trophy mounts, and tons of rustic features.
Now, back to the home-style fare. It’s served via buffet, and in addition to fried catfish, includes fried chicken, greens, fried okra, cornbread, and lots more.
On Friday and Saturday nights, the eatery offers a seafood buffet. Basically a seafood smorgasbord, it includes crab legs, oysters, shrimp, catfish, frog legs, and more.
