David's Catfish House
In 1983, David and Sadie Ross started serving food on their famous menu. Over a quarter-century later, the catfish and cheese grits have been flying out of the kitchen. In fact, the dish has been named one of the 100 Dishes to Eat in Alabama Before You Die by the Alabama Bureau of Tourism and Travel for two consecutive years.

David’s Catfish proudly serves shrimp, crab claws and oysters purchased from Alabama’s Seafood Capital, Bayou La Batre. The batters, breadings and mixes are made from scratch daily. Likewise, the coleslaw and salads are made from the freshest ingredients available.

Ezell's Fish Camp
This is the story of a two-room dog-trot cabin which turned into one of the South’s favorite restaurants. Originally owned by Charles Agnew Ezell, this historic cabin was once used as a trading post during the Civil War, supplying packet boats up and down the Tombigbee River from Mobile.

Using the cabin as his home and base of operations, son C. A. Ezell became a very successful commercial fisherman, employing other fisherman throughout the river region. At the same time, the prolific hunting and fishing in Choctaw County made the cabin a perfect spot for a hunting club, attracting members from all over the state. Large fish fries were held, and the original cook, Pauline, set up a huge pot in the yard, where catfish and hushpuppies were sold for fifty cents per plate.

C. A. and his wife Mary continued to live in the camp but as their bursting family grew through the fifties, it became time to move out of the cabin, and soon Ezell’s Fish Camp became a flourishing full-time eating establishment.

The Ezell family soon included children Charles, Mary Ann, and Joe. As her brothers moved away and started their own restaurants, Mary Ann remained in Lavaca, and upon her father's retirement became owner and operator of the Fish Camp for over 35 years, where ownership has remained in the family to this day.
