Hooks Catfish Kitchen - Erie

Classic fish restaurant done right with lots of interesting sides to choose from. I had the catfish which was a big portion, crispy, juicy and delicious. It’s served on a bed of thick fries alongside white bread to make your own sandwich. There are condiments available on demand but the sandwich doesn’t come with fixings but that’s the classic presentation. There are a few other fish on the menu and I’ll gladly come back to try the perch, whiting (ultimate classic , tilapia, and others. I had this with two sides and paid about $15. There was enough here for two. I also ordered the hush puppies and corn nuggets and glad I did as they were both good. I had six hush puppies, unexpectedly priced and ordered per unit. They were decent and there’s room for improvement but you’re not going to get better ones than these for hundreds of miles around. These aren’t their native habitat. : They should be improved but decent as they are. They’re denser and smaller than they should be but flavor was good. Finally, corn nuggets are new to me. Coin-sized nuggets of battered corn, these are surprisingly juicy (is there mayo in here? and tasty. I’m a corn fan and am glad I got them. I’m guessing it’s not made from fresh local corn but the flavor of the corn is pronounced, not drowned out by fillers or batter, and made me sad that we’re in the last days of summer when the fresh corn is on its way out. You do get quite a large portion, again great for sharing so that’s highly recommended. I’ll come back again. The food is cooked to order so make sure to give them some time.

Excellent fish. Everything was delicious. Best catfish we’ve ever tasted! Can’t go wrong eating here

Best fish that I had in quite some time. I highly recommend this location.

I was super hungry for catfish. Rock did not disappoint. The catfish was the best I ever had. Awesome breading, fried perfectly, piping hot. Great steak fries. The best fish in Erie! Extremely reasonable pricing.

Catfish and hushpuppies very good! Mostly take out but we grabbed a table and ate there!
