It’s been two weeks since a fire took out one of the Mississippi Delta’s most popular catfish restaurants and authorities are still searching for answers.
In the early morning hours of Thursday, Aug. 1, first responders made their way to Catfish Cabin in Boyle in response to a massive blaze that had engulfed the building. The fire caused the local catfish eatery to shut down indefinitely. No injuries were reported at the scene.
Officials are investigating the incident as arson. No arrests have been made so far. To help police gather information, a hefty $10,500 reward is now being offered for information that leads to the arrest of the person responsible for starting the fire.
Below is a snapshot of surveillance footage of the suspected arsonist.
In the meantime, while Catfish Cabin is unable to serve customers out of its brick-and-mortar facility on US-61, the restaurant is now operating on wheels on the restaurant’s grounds. Using the business’ food truck, Catfish Cabin On The Road is open for lunch with seating available for diners at the neighboring Delta Pointe Event Center.
