Where We Eat
Jane and Michael Stern: Whitey's Fish Camp
Orange Park, FL
You name the seafood and Whitey's probably serves it — broiled, sautéed, fried, blackened or stuffed, filleted or on the bone, but it's catfish that's the star here. Freshwater catfish has that sparkle that evokes vacation campfires and balmy summer nights, and you can eat as much of it as you like at Whitey's Fish Camp.
