In the Fall of 2007, I attended a meeting in the rural West Alabama town of Butler in Choctaw County. Choctaw County sits along the Mississippi border near Meridian, MS. The town itself is relatively uneventful. The locals at our meeting advised us to head east on Alabama Highway 10 to the legendary Ezell's Fish Camp in the town of Lavaca, AL. Ezell's sits on the banks of the Tombigbee River and serves up fresh from the river catfish. Catfish in multiple shapes and sizes is the order of the day, but fried catfish is what to get. Also, the cole slaw is very good. A very unique setting along the river is only enhanced by the 200 year old wooden structure that the restaurant is located within. If you love catfish, this would be worth a detour off of I-20/59 on your way between Tuscaloosa and Jackson, MS. Also be sure to take a gander at the 'Swamp Monkey' stuffed behind the cash register.
