Catch and Release Soulfood

Catch and Release Soulfood is a Black-owned soul food kitchen at 6801 Prospect Ave on Kansas City’s East Side — fried fish, BBQ chicken wings, rib tips, and soul food fried rice, served from a Prospect storefront during the week and a food truck on weekends.

Description

Catch and Release Soulfood is a Black-owned soul food operation on the Prospect corridor of Kansas City’s East Side, near the Blue Hills / Marlborough edge. It serves “authentic comfort food” — fried fish, BBQ chicken wings, pasta, rib tips, soul food fried rice, seafood, and salads — from a storefront at 6801 Prospect Avenue during the week, and runs a food truck on weekends (Saturdays and Sundays, location posted to social media). The business bills its cooking as fried fish and BBQ with “SOUL.”

Ownership and history

Catch and Release is a Black-owned local business, listed in the Black Restaurant Weeks Kansas City directory.¹ The owner/operator’s name is not published in available sources and is marked “, as is the founding date. It is an independent operation, not a chain.

Name reconciliation: a closely-related listing, Catch-N-Release Fried Fish & BBQ, appears at the adjacent 6805 Prospect Ave with its own Facebook page, Yelp listing, Menufy ordering site, and phone (816) 469-0414 — distinct from the (816) 442-7369 number carried on the “Catch and Release Soulfood” (6801 Prospect) listings.² The two names, adjacent addresses, and overlapping soul-food/fried-fish-and-BBQ menu strongly suggest one operation listed under two names (and possibly multiple phone lines), but this is not confirmed from a first-party source. The Catch-N-Release listing is described in a food-truck directory as a Kansas City fried-fish-and-BBQ operation that started as a food truck, consistent with the weekend-truck pattern on the 6801 Prospect listing.³
