The thing about fish is you ideally want it to be fresh (as fresh as possible). For restaurants in middle America this can be challenging when it comes to lobster, crab, swordfish, etc. However, the middle of the country has fish too, from the lakes and rivers that flow throughout.

Look for these tasty freshwater fish at little restaurants and diners in Missouri. Especially around the bigger lakes in the state.
