Absolutely phenomenal. Me and my wife are seafood lovers, and no one in Wichita does seafood like Blalock - it isn't even close. Great food, reasonable pricing, excellent service and great outside seating if you want it. Looks can me deceiving, but trust me, this is the best seafood in Wichita.

I’ve driven by this place too many times without stopping even though I’ve been wanting to. Today I stopped in for the first time, and there is a reason it says on the sign best seafood in Wichita! The fried alligator is the best I’ve ever had, and that includes Louisiana. The fried catfish was also out of this world and that is also some of the best coleslaw I’ve ever had as well. I’m going to be giving these guys so much of my business from now on. I’m talking once a week at the bare minimum. Not only is it the best seafood in Wichita, it might be the best restaurant in Wichita! Very thankful to have these guys here in town

It's a tiny building (like an old sonic drive in), so there's only 5 tables inside. The cashier is really nice and the food is DELICIOUS. The portions are big. Honestly, it was the best seafood I've had in Wichita. The catfish reminds me of what you get down south in Mississippi or Louisiana. They were busy when I went, so definitely call ahead for carry out if you're in a hurry.

I highly recommend the food (and calling ahead because they’re always busy ). The catfish is always good but I love the crab cakes, they are AMAZING! Especially when they’re hot and fresh! Even the hush puppies are good and I’ve always hated hush puppies ever since I was a kid. I get the same thing but I’m about to go down the list of the grilled items because that grilled salmon is calling my name!

The food here is delicious. I was a fan of the wichita fish Co, and I'm a fan of this place. I read a review of this place that said "the food has no taste", my response to that would be.. if you don't taste anything eating here, you need to consult a physician immediately. The fish, the fries, the tartar sauce, and the coleslaw were fantastic. I got the double regular catfish option. It was worth every bit of that 16 dollars. I honestly wish they were open right now.

New name, new location same great fish. Huge pieces of Catfish coated in corn meal or flour or one of each. Limited seating inside but lots of car parks outside with a few benches to enjoy the summer months. They have a variety of seafood items to choose from, don't want you to think they just have Catfish just one of my favorites. See ya there.

Some of the best fried fish in town. Really enjoyed everything we got which was a lot. Crab cakes we're really good and flavorful. Everything had just the right amount of salt and breading.
