Salaam Seafood - Fresno CA.

Restaurant Address, Salaam Seafood, 841 F Street Fresno California.

As you may know I like to find some little known special places to eat. Salaam Seafood is one of those little gems that you can easily miss.

Not far from the downtown business district of Fresno but on a small side street in what looks like a lost part of town near the Southern Pacific railroad tracks.

A friend of mine pointed the way to this great little diner.

Salaam Seafood specializes in fish as the name might suggest. On this visit I took the option to have fried Catfish.

The batter was a cornmeal batter so very nutty to the taste and wonderfully crunchy. Every piece of the fish was cooked to perfection and tasty. I have had some catfish in the past that had a slight muddy taste but this fish was succulent and sweet.

Prices were great value. This is a workplace sort of diner, not a fancy downtown restaurant. The staff were extremely friendly as were the regular customers at other tables. There was lots of cross talk across the various groups around the diner and the staff which gave the place wonderful atmosphere.

If you are near Downtown Fresno, take a trip to 841 DF Street and enjoy a taste of Southern style fish.
