The fried catfish, accompanied with creamy grits and collards, is one of River's specialty meals. At $24, this dish is the epitome of Southern comfort with a sophisticated touch. Rich and flavorful grits give the dish a silky texture, while the catfish itself is delicate and flaky on the inside and deliciously crispy on the outside. The dish is rounded up with a mix of flavors that keeps guests coming back thanks to the slightly bitter contrast provided by the collards. Like many other dishes at River, this one is a must-try for visitors to Tuscaloosa because it exemplifies the restaurant's dedication to quality and tradition.
