White River Fish Market
Fish market and restaurant founded in 1932. Choose your fish at the counter and it is fried or grilled to order. Fried catfish and okra gumbo have been loved by generations of Tulsans.
Founded in 1932 by O.T. Fallis as a fish market. A restaurant was added about ten years later, and Garry Cozby took over in 1981. The flagship is at 1708 North Sheridan Road, near Tulsa International Airport. It keeps the layout of a fish market: order at the counter, and seafood is fried or grilled to order. Roadfood rates it in its highest 'legendary' tier, praising its fried seafood, the fried catfish served with onion rings and large cornmeal hush puppies, and its rich, spicy seafood okra gumbo. No alcohol is sold. About US$15–25 per person. About 8 km from downtown, roughly a short drive, and only a few minutes from the airport. This listing covers the Sheridan Road flagship; there is also a Broken Arrow branch.
Opening hours
