Kingfish opened its first restaurant Derby Day 1948 on the Ohio River, 4^th Street, Louisville, just a cement block building, carryout. My family would go in their boats—we would order Fish Boxes for 2 (fish, fries, hushpuppies, bread) and eat in our boats.

Later, Kingfish built regular restaurants. Currently, they have one on the river in Louisville and across the river in Jeffersonville, Indiana. They have the world’s best hushpuppies. I have gone there and ordered coffee and hushpuppies for a meal. By car, our family boats are a thing of the past.
