This place is a hidden gem! Super fresh fish made to order. Really delicious breading recipe! Super nice people. I'm so glad I found you cause you can handle my large and small requests and I am basing this on experience. 1st. I ordered enough catfish to feed 100 people and then turned around and ordered several pounds for my Mom's freezer. While waiting I enjoyed really delicious jumbo shrimp. How sweet it was!! Thank you Duwell's team!!

I bought two large live catfish. I had them staked. It was my first time here. I haven’t been to a live fish shop in years. I really missed it. All I can say is “I’ll be back”. Next time I’ll have them filleted. The price was much better then going out and ordering five catfish dinners. Yummy yummy.

I've been coming to this place since I was a kid so I took my kids & my kid brings her Son. 5 star customer service, 5 star attentive, & precise wishes of how you want the fish cut the fish batter is the best ever. They're currently selling spicy batter so I've purchased 3 but haven't tasted it yet. I'm sure it's going to be delicious as the original, seasoned to perfection batter.

Realized there is no parking once I made it to the establishment. I called in a large catfish and was told it would be ready in 10 minutes but in actually it was prepared when I got up there. So I waited another 12 minutes after paying for my order. There is a live fish market on the side of restaurant. The fish was fresh and I enjoyed my meal. So if your looking for a good fish place to visit and not sure where to go I recommend u give Duwell Fish Co a try.

Great place to purchase live fish and have it cut your way. The owners and staff are friendly, professional, and funny. They now have a restaurant where food is prepared there. My order was so good, a generous amount of food, DAMN just made myself hungry at 7a.m.

It's been a long time since I've had some fried green tomatoes. These were good. I closed my eyes while I ate them and remembered another time and another place. Now that's some good eating friend.

They have been closed since January or February. I have not heard anything since. I really need to buy live catfish.
