Whole Catfish
Angel H.

I can always count on Flying Fish for great tasting & quality food anytime I go. They have a variety of grilled and fried seafood plates, full of old favorites as well as some items unique to them. This restaurant has been a favorite amongst our family for years and it looks like it always will be.

This restaurant was recommended by a couple people that were at our hotel upon entry. Upon entry; You can tell that the crowd is diverse and you wait in line to place your order. I ordered the pound of snow crabs, barbecue shrimp plate, Alligator nuggets, and shrimp and fish basket. The barbecue shrimp were pretty good. The alligator nuggets were good as well. The shrimp and fish basket - not so much, but I think it is more geared towards your taste. It is all cooked in meal, so very gritty, but not very seasoned. the snow crabs were just there, because they weren't seasoned with anything. they were very plain and then they came with a side of butter. overall, it's just not my type of restaurant. I don't think I would go back.

Our first time at the Fish. So delicious. The gulf ousters and fried fish were so good. The Sunday oyster special is perfect. Everything was crispy and delicious. We will be back again and again.

Ceviche
Lenee L.

You enter into a line to order, which is fast and efficient. You get your drink and find a table. The seats were very comfortable and tables clean. I had the Caddo and it was absolutely amazing. I'm not usually a tilapia fan but it was a thick perfectly cooked filet with grilled jumbo shrimp on top with a delicious Cajun cream sauce. The ceviche was one of the best we've had. Very fresh and light. Red fish was equally delicious and a healthier option. Highly recommend!

Delicious seafood found here! TIP: When you enter, keep walking straight (through the glass-paned doors) then left to the counter to order/pay, get your coaster before picking a table, & your coaster will vibrate & flash when your order is ready to pickup. So many platter & poboy (aka sandwich) options. Fish fans will be happy (prepared grilled or fried) w/snapper, redfish, catfish, etc. Also, you can enjoy shrimp, oyster, gator, frog legs, hot chicken, & burgers. Fountain drinks, tea, lemonades (including adult versions w/Tito's), & beers (bottled, draft, or can). Decor is fish shake sheik ;-) Gingham-topped tables/booths. Fish & fishing gear everywhere. Special shout-out for the "Liars'' Wall" - photos of people who caught prize fish... love that!

Whole tilapia with spinach side.
Adele Q.

My husband and I went for an early dinner. We walked in and immediately went to the counter and ordered our food and drinks. You get a buzzer to take to your table and it alerts you when your food is ready to be picked up. Everyone was pleasant and efficient. I ordered the whole fried tilapia and my husband got the catfish and shrimp basket. The fish was cooked perfectly, crunchy outside but still moist inside. Both were very good. French fries and spinach sides were also good. If you join their grub club you will get a coupon each month. We had a buy one entree get one free which was nice. We will be back.

Shrimp and crab boil
Denneane C.

No pretentiousness here. Great down home food like your grandma would make if your grandma lived on the water. And your folks were fishermen. Fried pickles were excellent too! Order at the counter in a relaxed, family friendly atmosphere. Very reasonably priced too! Counter help were very friendly and helpful. We will be back

Crawfish
Elizabeth N.

First time we stopped by I was a bit surprised on the way you order and felt a little rushed, however, their process is fast and convenient! You place your order and then you find a seat and wait for your food! The food here is amazing! We stopped by on a Friday and went back the next day to try more food! They serve their beers in a very cold glass!!! The oysters were fresh and crawfish was spicy! So much flavor! The grilled redfish was tasty and served with vegetables and red beans and rice! All so good! The okra was also lightly salted and served with ranch! We will definitely be regulars here!

4 Shrimp / 2 Catfish Fillets
Tania L.

While on a work trip in Fort Worth, the hotel front desk recommended Flying Fish, so we decided to give it a try. When you walk in, the smell is amazing--you can really catch the aroma of the seasoning, which had me excited for the meal. The service was prompt, and our food came out quickly. The restaurant itself was clean and well-maintained. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to the initial impression. The gator nuggets were overcooked, dry, and lacked seasoning. The shrimp and catfish were fried well, but they also had no real flavor, which was disappointing. Overall, it was an okay experience, but I was hoping for more in terms of seasoning and taste.

Whole Fried Tilapia
Rachel G.

I've been coming here since I was a kid and it's a great place! It's very nostalgic and has always been good and will always be good. It's just good olé boy seafood. Nothing fancy, just straight yummy.

Hula Poppers

The service is super nice here. Food orders are made at the counter. The Nashville Chicken and the Caddo are both amazing! They have inside abs outside seating available in a family friendky atmosphere.

Caddo Plate with Margarita on the Rocks
Brian C.

Ok, so it's not the fanciest, but if you're looking for a half-Cajun/half-Texan seafood shack that doesn't take itself too seriously (and you're not in Houston), this is the spot. My Caddo plate (grilled fish with creamy sauce over rice, with a fistful of shrimp on top) was delicious and satisfying. The fish was better than the shrimp, but I'd eat it again for sure. The rocks margarita was good too. I waited about 75 seconds to order and a few minutes for my food. A great option for a convenient and tasty meal, walking distance to my hotel.

Nothing fancy but always solid. Mainly fried but one of few American restaurants that still have whole fish and not just processed filets.

Perfect on its own or with a little mustard and crackers. I am so HAPPY I grabbed some frozen links to-go for my freezer at home when I have that late night craving for Beaux Boudin! The owners treat you like family and most definitely make these wonderful dishes with LOVE you can taste in every bite!! Make sure to check the hours and plan your visit...you won't be disappointed!

We ordered the boudin egg rolls, boudin sausage appetizer, alligator appetizer, and crawfish with the voodoo seasoning. Everything was really flavorful and well seasoned, and the crawfish had a great kick. The appetizers were perfect for sharing and made it easy for everyone to try a few things. They also did a nice job accommodating our larger party. Our server was friendly, attentive, and handled our table well, which isn't easy with a group that size. The only thing that stood out was the manager. He didn't greet any tables while we were there. At one point he brought a dish to our table but didn't say anything, and later spent quite a while standing by the bar on his phone. It didn't negatively impact the service we received, but it did leave us a little unsure about the management presence. Overall, we had a good experience and enjoyed the food. The staff we interacted with were great, but management left us wondering. We'll still come back for the crawfish though.
