It's not always a bad thing to get "catfished." When said catfish comes from Mario's Westside Market, you can dupe me any day of the week!
I've been meaning to check this place out for a couple of years. I finally got my chance during Nelson's UYE. The last time I tried, there was a huge line going out the door. I'm not sure if it was related to catfish, but I wouldn't be surprised. Luckily, today was crowd free.
Cutting to the chase, Mario's serves the best catfish in Vegas. It's about $8 per pound and worth every penny. The fish is perfectly flaky inside the breading, while the breading isn't overly crunchy or distracting from the catfish.
I'll definitely be back to try more stuff. Oxtail! Turkey neck? The only thing is that it's not a part of town I find myself in often.
