Jackson's Catfish Corner

My friend brought me to her local comfort food take out spot and we were greeted by the friendly owner who immediately offered us a sample of the corn meal coated catfish with tartar, and it was really very delicious. We ordered a full meal of a pound of catfish, some hush puppies and fries, and some lobster Mac and cheese. He was very helpful offering up his best menu items and supplying plenty of consents and gave us several discounts and made us feel like we got special treatment. The fish and fries were good and the hush puppies and cornbread were tasty, although the Mac and cheese was not our favourite this time. The takeout was also open quite late, 2:30am he said, so it was really nice to be able to get a great late night nosh

I know this place is know for its fried food, but catfish corner express may honestly have the best raw seafood you can buy in Seattle... especially at these prices. And this stuff is FRESHHHHH I watched these guys bring everything in Everything is locally sourced and if you don't believe it the owner will enthusiastically show you video proving it lol Would not have expected the best quality/deals on seafood in Seattle to be down in Renton but very happy to have found this gem !! BTW the crab legs are unreal do yo self a favor

A real hidden gem! Catfish done well is surprisingly hard to find in the PNW. The place has a new owner who makes the (amazing) tartar sauce by hand. Decoration and interior is no frills, a good sign for fish joints. The fish was crispy outside, buttery soft inside without being mushy or overbreaded. Crinkle fries were soft inside and gently crisped outside, a perfect match. Didn't try the hush puppies but they looked great. Definitely a place to watch as the new owner gives it his spin. I'll be back for more!

Claims to be the best catfish this side of the Mississippi, I think they are correct. The batter is crisp and the fish juicy and perfectly fried. The hush puppies have a great corn and onion flavor. The corn bread has a sweet corn flavor and more than that has a moist, buttery goodness. The tartar remoulade has a mild spice kick, you will want more so order extra. One word of warning, the portions are generous, so don't eat yourself silly or you will find yourself in a food coma after.
