This family restaurant is dedicated to serving great food in a relaxed atmosphere, making it a favorite among locals and visitors alike. The restaurant specializes in American farm-raised catfish and Memphis-style barbecue. The BBQ is smoked for hours on a rotisserie grill, achieving a perfect combination of flavor and tenderness.

The story behind The Fishin' Pig is as unique as its menu. The "fish" part of the name comes from a fried seafood concept that dates back to the 1980s, when the owner's father used a special seasoning to create a popular fried chicken and fish recipe at his gas station. Years later, the owner and his father decided to commercialize the breading. They partnered with a BBQ expert (the "pig" part), and The Fishin' Pig was born.
