Staying in business the better part of four decades is an impressive feat for any restaurant and Orlando doesn't have too many that can lay claim to such achievements. The Catfish Place is one of them. Specializing in the delectable Southern genre of fried seafood, this St. Cloud institution serves up local, wild-caught catfish from Lake Okeechobee. You'll also find familiar sides – slaw and homemade hush puppies – on the menu, along with a few highly Floridian items in the form of fried gator and fried turtle. Peel-and-eat shrimp (yes, you can get that fried, too), fried chicken livers and a popular appetizer – fried lobster – are also among the draws.
