Best fried catfish in Louisiana is at Dairy Delite in Pleasant Hill (DeSoto Parish). Best in South Louisiana is Shucks in Abbeville.

Or you poor thing Shucks is the worst seafood restaurant in Abbeville Dupuy's is king followed by Richards

Not for fried foods.

Richard's is only good for boiled, and that is over-priced. Cest Bon in Mermentau is both better and cheaper than Richard's.

For anything not fried, both Dupuy's and Riverfront are better than Shucks.

All three are fantastic. Four with Riverfront.

Saying Shucks is worst of the three is disingenuous at Best, self deprivation at worst.

Even with Blacks going off the rails, people in Abbeville are very fortunate.

We don't need no outsider to tell us what restaurants are good or not in Abbeville. 50+years of experience will do just fine.

I feel pretty certain it was good before I got here, but will ask my mom and dad to make sure.

I can still use my source.

And if my history is correct, the business of the family that made great food in that building under the name Dupuis is now the business that makes great food under the name Shucks.

Shucks was bought out about 10 years ago by the guy who owns route 92

Well, it's owned by two guys but it is still the same business.

Ball’s is still in Lake Charles. Their fish dinner is the best fried fish you can find in LC by a long shot. Ball’s, Darrel’s, and El Tapatio are my top 3 places anytime I go home to visit.

Darrel’s is so dang overrated. Went to the one in Jennings with the family, excited they had opened because of what I had heard and read...no need to go back.

Give me Chris’s, Pop’s, Ole Tyme and the poboys and Uncle T’s all day long before Darrel’s. Maybe even the Jennings Shop Rite place too.

Then again, tastes are subjective.
