Soul Fish Cafe

At Soul Fish, catfish lands beside turnip greens, macaroni and cheese, hush puppies, and other sides that place the restaurant firmly in a Southern tradition. The Cooper-Young flagship is casual enough for lunch but supports a full plate rather than a hurried sandwich. Choose the vegetables with as much care as the fish, and add a slice of pie if the day's selection makes a convincing case.

Soul Fish Cafe centers its menu on catfish, hush puppies, greens, beans, and other Southern comfort dishes in a relaxed Cooper Street room. Fried and blackened fish provide two useful paths through the menu, while vegetable plates make the sides more than supporting players. The Cooper-Young shop is the selected flagship for this four location local concept and its shared editorial object.

Soul Fish Cafe treats fried catfish as everyday Memphis comfort food, supporting it with po'boys, seafood tacos, vegetables, and Southern sides. Memphis Magazine names Soul Fish directly in its seafood field, and the Flyer also recognizes the restaurant's fish-centered menu. Order catfish in the format that suits the meal, then give equal attention to the sides. This Cooper-Young flagship is shared unchanged with Southern and soul food.
