CULTURETECHLENSFried buffalo fish
STRONG EVIDENCE evidence grade — master store (canonical CSV)
Combined Graph record U-00925 · provenance: canonical master store (CSV), record CTL-W-0525. Master record source: CTL seed 2026-10-16 — UNVERIFIED, verify before public citation.
The fetched sources converge on buffalo fish served fried as an Arkansas tradition: the Encyclopedia of Arkansas records Lassis Inn's famous 'fish ribs' '(made from buffalo fish)' on a fried-fish menu, and Gastro Obscura states 'Arkansans prepare buffalo fish the traditional way: by deep-frying' it and that 'fried buffalo fish has been a menu staple for about a century' at Lassis Inn. This establishes the buffalo fish + fried elements of the stored identity; the cornmeal coating is NOT established by either source (see conflicts).
