I'm not much of a fish person, however, I love a good catfish fry!! Mo' Fish's is the best I've had in years!! Great food and excellent service!! Mo' Fish aims to please!!

Great prices, great food. Not a healthy item on the menu. Totally enjoyed the flavorful catfish, potato salad and baked beans. Can't believe they give you three pieces of catfish for the price. I would return.

First time here. The best catfish in the Omaha area. It was hot, flaky, crispy but oh so succulent on the inside. The breaded crispy shrimp had a tasty crunch. The potatoes wedges were the best I've had. The owner was also nice. She came to the table and ask how the food tasted. Update: Still the best catfish in the area and super friendly and welcoming!

Back with another review, and keeping it light. I do like the layout, I go down to Florida a couple of times a year and this place is very much reminds me of some of the spots you might find down south along the Gulf. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I feel bad for not knowing about this place as it's been here 19 years, and is family owned.. Originally, I was going to have a taco or walleye dinner, then swap sides for Okra, I love perfectly cooked okra, sadly, I've only found one place within about 60 Mi of here that can do it right, sadly, that us not an option. I would suggest offering a side options with okra, hush puppies, mac and cheese... If the walleye is good then I will come back and try the okra and update my review. But since it is just me this evening I am only going to be sampling the walleye itself. The walleye only comes fried (breaded) and the portion is generous. I ordered the regular, came with four strips. Portion size is good, but these would be more of a walleye finger, vs fillet, and that is ok.. This is perfectly done, flaky, moist, excellent flavor. The breading is perfectly done there's no doughy-ness. The tail quickly tapers into being more breading than meat, one larger fillet would be more preferable, I suspected, and they confirmed, the tartar sauce is store bought. It's fine though.. Overall, it is a good dish... As far as rating. The fish was delicious my only issue and again it is strictly a preference, is that I would like there to be more meat, more fillet than finger. Most people ordering this for the first time would expect a breaded fillet so because of that I'm going to give it 4/5 The service and the atmosphere were great, and if you are like me and you travel to do food reviews or if you just like to travel, and you have found yourself down south at a Fish Shack in the past, this place will be kind of nostalgic, and that is awesome. 5/5. Overall I'm going to give it a 4 out of 5.

Don’t judge a book by its cover. The cleanest and nicest bathroom I have ever seen. Very down to earth decor, dollars bills and such in the walls. Would love to know who the interior decorator was. All types of pop, great fish fry.

brought to iowa for this specifically, was worth it. the fishing related memorabilia decorating the interior added an almost boat-like vibe to the place, which i expected since the place serves fish, although i ordered chicken strips, fries and a dr pepper. the place offers refills for drinks, just ask staff for one and they'll gladly refill for you. overall, nice place, would go here again if i had the chance.

I went here for the first time for my birthday meal. I will definitely be back for other occasions. The restaurant was a full house but each table got friendly service and their food fast. The food was fresh and fried perfectly. The food was so good we also ordered some take out to go. I loved the decor of the restaurant, you can tell delish fish is the focus.

Always a good experience at Mo's. We come here often and never had a bad bite. We ordered Clam strips, frog legs and catfish. It was so good! Everything was fresh, hot and crispy! The service was fast too.
