What a great place! Had the $11.99 trout special and it was phenomenal. The gumbo was good but a bit too salty. The grilled vegetables were excellent as was the Okra. I'd make it a point to come back next time I'm in Dallas. read more

We were struggling to find places to eat out in Dallas that were more of the casual scene. We were so excitied when we found this gem. The decorations are so cute, food is extremely fairly priced and very good, staff is also very kind. If you're looking for more of the local spot to stop, check this place out! read more

this place was amazing! lots of greats options for seafood, both friend and nonfriend. Lots of sides and drink options too. it's a super casual place, and parking is pretty manageable too. service was very nice! I got the flounder that was lightly sauteed in oil. It was cooked to perfection and seasoned super well! The rice as a side dish was also great and plenty. The fries were good too-crunchy and warm and soft on the inside. read more

Had a taste for some fish today so I took myself down to Flying fish.. I've been here plenty of times but never really had the chance to give my humble opinion on the place. I was by myself and decided to try their Caddo Plate.. it's just so delicious. The sauce that comes with it just gives great flavor to the fish and rice. It was not busy today but normally you can catch a line. I'll definitely keep coming back.. read more

Y'all? Did I just experience the best crawfish in the DFW? 1000% Maybe even in my life! Listen, I know this is a big statement to make, but here we are! The crawfish are in season- fresh not frozen, HUGE, and absolutely amazing! They have the right amount of heat, seasonings and everything else! I've been ordering from here for years, but never have I had their Crawfish until last night. Also, you must try the whole catfish and the grilled zucchini and squash! The best grilled veggies ever! This is a quiet spot amongst a bunch of bouncy, upscale restaurants. This is a down home spot, with plenty of seating and a comfy atmosphere. The prices are adjacent to the amount of food. And the service is swift. I don't think you'll be disappointed at all. Give them a try of maybe not- I need it to stay the same anyway! Lol! read more

I've had flying fish many times at the Fort Worth location. I didn't realize they offer crawfish during the season. It's $8.95 for a pound which is pretty reasonable compared to other places in Dallas. I think it was okay crawfish for the price. I did ask for extra butter and old bay on the side. Alligator queso was really yummy!! Definitely recommend trying that out. Oysters were good. I've tried many of the fried basket combos before, always yummy. read more

We were in the area trying breweries and needed a bite to eat. We love some seafood so during our search of local eateries, I come across this place. You walk in and order, and then they give you a buzzer. When it goes off, you go he your food. They sell beer. They had a couple boil options which my husband enjoyed the snow crab and shrimp boil and my dad had the shrimp boil. The food looked good and the Cajun seasoning was not too strong. I had oysters on a half shell. The horseradish was on the table already but it seemed weak. My oysters were good sized, clean, and shucked. My mom had the number two most ordered item, but can't remember what it was. It was a piece of tilapia on a bed of rice, with shrimp and a Cajun cream sauce. She said it was super tasty. We tried their alligator queso. That shit was so freaking good. The little restaurant was funny. They adopt Billy the Bass from people and then you can get a free catfish dinner. read more

I will say the crawfish was definitely seasoned well but needed a little more butter on the potato and the corn. In terms of the size it definitely was a pound with some good sized crawfish. I also ordered the alligator queso and it was really good. We just needed more chips. Overall, I highly recommend but the place could be a little cleaner. It's walk up service so it was pretty quick. read more

Always amazing Catfish is the best! Love the margaritas and Key Lime Pie. The staff is sweet and professional and very friendly. You can tell they LOVE THEIR JOBS. And customers read more

Crawfish is good price here for Dallas. Good size and easy to peel. Seemed like most of the spicy was from the outside and not much flavor inside. Better crawfish other places but I will still be back for all the other food here. read more

Flying fish is always pretty good. My fav of all the things is the beans & rice so I'm glad it comes as a side with all the entrees. I got the salmon tacos which were pretty good. It was a Wednesday so my sister got the all-you-can-eat catfish. She was convinced it wasn't really catfish but it tasted really well. I also got raw oysters (not pictured), they were good but not the best I've had. Service is good and ambiance is casual. read more

The food here is consistently delicious and always perfectly prepared. The staff is friendly, accommodating, and genuinely makes you feel welcome.

The Flying Fish is a casual dining experience. The prices are reasonable and the portions are huge! I've been a couple times and have always been pleased. Today they had rainbow trout on special for $11.49 with 2 sides (lots of options!). I got red beans and rice and fried okra, both were tasty and fresh. Also large portions. I also added 6 hush puppies for $1.00!! They have a couple seasoning options for the trout and I got both garlic butter and Cajun seasoning. It was so good! The fish was flaky and flavorful! We also split a dozen half shell oysters, they were bigger than last time and fresh. I didn't get the guys name that took our orders but he was extremely helpful and friendly. The food came out fast and fresh. It was great! read more

The pieces of fish too small and a lot of crispy pieces and it wasn't fish. The cost did not fit the value. Will not return.

Down home fried seafood it what it's all about here. Catfish, shrimp and even snapper. They could improve on their hush puppies since they always seem to be overcooked. Otherwise, it's reliable and comfortable. read more

My family and I visited the area for the weekend, and we loved Flying Fish! We ordered a variety of items but their fried catfish was amazing. It was crispy, moist, and flavorful. Also highly recommend their grilled redfish, and their $1.50 oysters on Sundays. It's counter service and a parking lot right outside. Would highly recommend Flying Fish for a great hole in the wall local spot. read more

Guys let me tell you I was simply just trying to order something late night trying to get some food and fly fish popped up. I must admit either I have not been paying attention or my expectations were not that high but when the food arrived, It was so nice and hot, freshly prepared and oh my gosh They have a customer for life. I had the whole fried catfish the hawg platter and the grill tilapia. I am left speechless and given the fact that it's just around the corner from me I will be back. Everything was prepared to perfect perfection read more

No where I'm from you can find this cheap or shrimp/snow crab legs for this price. The food and ambiance is so chill and such a vibe. It makes me feel like I'm in the south. The service was so easy and he reccomenedidng getting the margarita's I did it on the rocks and eventually ordered 3 all together. I would come back to Dallas just to eat here again. I'm also telling everyone I know! read more

This was my 1st time here & it was ok. The fried oysters were ok, the breading wasn't my favorite. It gave me the boxed breading. The 1lb shrimp was flavored amazingly though! It's definitely on the more pricey side so I'm not sure if I'll return. read more

The food was delicious! (Best to least) I had fried catfish, hush puppies, fried banana pudding, fried shrimp, fried okra and the red potatoes. (Don't judge me.) I loved all the sauces and fresh horseradish right at the table for knocking your flavor preferences out the park! The woman was extremely helpful to pick out exactly what I wanted to order and I enjoyed the ambiance on the walls. Quite entertaining! read more

Flying Fish sits nestled between the Trinity river and the Dallas Design district. The interior--with its tackle boxes, fishnets, checkered table cloths and vinyl seats--sets the mood for some solid seafood (lake, river, and swamp food as well). You can enjoy some oysters and a cold beer, crawdads, crab legs, fried broiled or grilled fish and shrimp (and lots more) while tapping your foot to some old blues tunes on their in-house music. FF has a down-market 70's fishing-trip in the station wagon vibe that's comforting and no frills, but very tasty! Indoor and outdoor seating available. read more

Place is really dope & has a good lunch vibe to it! Got the 2 piece catfish w/fries & hushpups, I'd give the catfish a 8.2 outta 10 just a bit heavy on the breading in my opinion but still delicious! A little over priced as well came out to 17$ but welcome to Dallas pricing, maybe could've done 4 hush puppies and that would've made it worth that price to me. Sweet tea & lemonade are a must, will be back to try more! read more

So today I had to run around Dallas with a colleague and since we were on this side of town we both agreed this would fit what we are both craving for lunch. The food we ordered came hot and fresh to our liking. We ran into 3 other workmates there. You are responsible to fill your own drinks and gather your food, but there are still employees busing the tables, they did a great job. The ambiance, they have photos of different people that have done very well fishing read more

Having been raised by a Japanese mother, I grew up on seafood & loved it all my life. After viewing some details on a few YouTube videos, I just had to go there. In fact, I went twice. First time, I ordered the oyster po'boy. (I almost had one, in New Orleans, but the alligator po'boy was more interesting.) I paired that with a Dallas IPA (which name I can't remember). Second time, I had the Creole Platter, which contained many things I had in New Orleans. It did not disappoint. I still love Southern food. This was one of my favorite food experience in this town. read more

This is half mile walk away from a good number of hotels in the area. We came here for a Friday lunch and thankfully we came just as they opened at 11am because it got busy quickly. You order and pay up front and wait for your food to be completed, then you pick it up. The food came out fairly quickly. The portions are a good size, and food tasted great. The inside has a lot of decor (fish related of course) on the wall and plenty of tables inside. They also have an outdoor seating area. read more

Staying at the Anatole for a conference, we didn't want to just eat in the hotel. You order at the counter, make your drink, and sit down with a buzzer. The parking lot was full, but there was still lots of room inside! We got po boys either fried okra and potatoes, as well as the crawfish chowder. Everything was up to par! The bread was delicious, the fry on my catfish was just right. Okra was so good. The chowder was creamy and had a kick to it. If you need a healthy dose of seafood, go here! read more

We have been going to Flying Fish for years. We started going to the Preston Center location but we now enjoy the Irving Blvd/Riverfront location. The food is always tasty and the service is fast. I prefer the clientele at this location, not that it should matter, just more people watching worthy. The catfish jambalaya is to die for and the vegetable medley can't be beat anywhere. read more

The food was okay. I got the ford shrimp and catfish combo. The piece of fish was tiny, not worth the price.
