In Goodrich, which is 8 miles south of Livingston, try Hughes Catfish.
In Pasadena, a suburb of Houston, try Sudie's.
In both of these places the catfish is coated lightly with cornmeal and a little salt. No heavy breading at either place.
Luck favors the prepared mind.

Stub...head north up Central Expwy to just a scootch past Sherman...go past the Hwy 503 fancyfied Welcome to Denison exit sign on the right, and get off at the very next exit about 3/4's a mile ummm called Loy Lake as I recall, a tad further north. At the north bound Service road stop sign, in front of the Fossil Creek liqour store, turn right & go ONE SHORT block and turn left. Hucks is the next red brick bldg north on the left.
Google "Hucks Catfish in Denison" to see how they rate and what the reviews say. Well worth the drive, IMO. Probably gonna make it the 3 hours back up there for my Birthday Dinner....and let the BH drive home so's I can sleep it off in the back seat.
Missisippi Farm Raised filets that has to be eaten to be believed, in an egg washed white corn meal batter. I stopped getting the 3 piece Dinner & backed off to the 2 piece since they are 3-4 times the size of most catfish filets I see served these days, so's I can finish a basket of the Fried Shrimp too. Careful getting in a hurry to start as the Filets are nuclear hot when they hit the table, raised a few welts in my mouth more than once... try the killer green tomato relish too
Edit: I believe each filet weighs about a 1/3rd lb, and you can order however many filets you want on a dinner order with all the sides. Ron

If you're ever in Temple, Chucks BBQ on the corner of Adams and Pea Ridge has great catfish. I wouldn't drive cross country for fish, but its the best I've had in a while. For having "BBQ" in their name, their bbq wasn't worth a flip.

David Beards Catfish King I've asked around east Texas about him and never got a good review. We all grew up on Big Pines catfish though.

ask them to see the box the catfish comes in just sayin Most all restaurants are going to get their catfish from distributors like Sysco or ben e keith. What sets others apart is what they do with the fish once its thawed and prepared. Good restaurants will increase their food cost by having a well trained eye cut out ALL the blood line and gray skin. This is where the mud flavor comes from. I have never had a bad piece of fish at Circle S in Haslet. Somebody knows what they're doing. Trimmed>non-trimmed

I concur. If they're closed, Tater Junction is a good old staple.

If you want good catfish you have to cook it yourself. I don't eat fried fish at restaurants. I have it at least once a week at home. I've never found any restaurant that can cook it as good as I can at home.

I've never found any restaurant that can cook it as good as I can at home. What is your recipe? Flour or cornmeal, what spices Pepper etc, type of oil. Appreciate the info I recently got a deep fryer and ready to get after it
