The Fish Place - Pecan Gap, TX

Being a bonafide redneck, you know I have folk down in East Texas. My folk down in East Texas have raved about how good the catfish is at Pecan Gap. If they thought any higher of it, you would think it was God's catfish. Of course since God is more concerned about "the lesser of these", God's catfish probably is the mud cat down at the creek.

Mitcho knows catfish. I have been to Miller Grove, Pine Mills, The Feed Sack (Windom), Vaughans (Tyler), Vaughans (Lake Bob Sandlin), The Fish Net (Caddo Valley, Ar.) and many other so called prestigious catfish joints. My resume and waistline are both pretty good. So Mitcho is a bonafide catfish expert.

After a great deal of pestering, I finally gave in and we did the Fish Tail over to Pecan Gap. This place is pretty hard to find. You go to the center of the city and the only place that has cars parked everywhere for a block or two around it is the place. Kind of cute rustic.

This is one of those all you can eat buffets. That is always a positive. Mitcho is a big fan of no limits. So for $12.00 (seniors) and $15.00 (youngsters), you can eat all the food you want and drink all the tea you can drink (the fish do need to float).

No ordering here, grab a plate and start piling it on. The first food bar is salad. Why. I mean really, Why??? The next one it gets serious. Catfish, spicy catfish, fries, jalitos, hush puppies (aka shut up doggies), baked potato (I refer you to WHY), shrimp, fried shrimp, and BEANS.

Mitcho loaded up on the spicy fish, BEANS, shut up doggies, jalitos, etc.

The spicy fish is pretty good. One of the best of the joints listed above. But the real deal is at the bottom of this blog. It was a little spicy, but it could have used quite a bit more spice.

The shut up doggies were the pretty normal hush puppy, but I like the normal hush puppy, so it was a good.

The fries, were fries.

The jalitos were real good this evening, I will let you know about tomorrow.

The BEANS were some of the best beans I have eaten in a long while (since the last time I went to Vaughans). Pecan Gap beats Vaughans on fish, but nobody beats Vaughans on beans. They must have a good amount of chili powder in them. Pecan Gap's beans has some chili powder, but not enough to be the best.

Did I mention cobbler. I went to the cobbler bar and there was peach cobbler and blueberry cobbler. I had a hard time picking one, so I just took one of each. Only the right thing to do. Good call. This is some mighty good cobbler right here.

Top it all off, the folk paid for the meal and you know we always like a free meal.

Overall,   this is some good vittles. If you are ever in North East Texas on a Friday or Saturday evening, grab some buddies and go fishin in Pecan Gap.
