Seems to be lots of catfish places in this part of Alabama - in fact in this part of the South.  One thing I've seen in Northern Alabama that I haven't seen elsewhere - fried catfish is served with a slice of raw onion. 

Newbern's catfish is pond fed.  Comes either whole or filleted.  Filleted means no bones.  Since I'm more interested in eating than working, I got filleted.  A born and bred catfish lover will go for the whole fish
