CATFISH JOHNNY'S – Seafood
Off I-75 at exit 321, this Lake Panasoffkee fish house keeps a short week and a long menu. Whole bone-in catfish arrives lightly breaded and fried; so do Johnny's boneless catfish fingers, Alaskan sea perch, hand-breaded jumbo shrimp and gator nuggets. The Cracker Platter piles catfish, oysters and gator onto one plate. Start with cheese curds, Ka-Boom shrimp, fried okra or fried green tomatoes. Land lovers get a hand-cut Delmonico, chopped steak or smothered chicken. All-you-can-eat specials rotate through the week: wings Wednesday, fish Friday, jumbo shrimp Saturday. Open Wednesday through Saturday, eleven until eight. Parties of six call ahead.
