First and last time at this place. It's just average nothing that would make us return. The place is pretty in the inside though, very nice ambiance. The lobster stew had a couple of pieces of lobster and the rest was all carrots, potatoes and celery ( not good) . read more

Flying Fish - Lobster Stew - Seafood Near Me - Plano, Texas

Great food. Reasonable pricing, a local favorite fir a quick lunch or dinner. Try the frog legs!

The fish was fried and ever so tasty! The wait time for my food was about what I expected and the personnel were all pleasant and kind. I had shrimp and catfish. Next time I will have all shrimp. They were great! Only 2 hush puppies though. Next time I will order extras. Go check them out! I went for lunch on a Tuesday. read more

Don't go for the crawfish!!! I can't stand more than anything when a restaurant puts "live crawfish" signs out and the crawfish was live..... like at least three months ago. You can tell a huge difference from crawfish that was cooked live that day vs crawfish that has been bought precooked and soaked again. And then to charge $8.95/lbs which is a lot more than most legit establishments. The crawfish were tiny, the head butter was stale and the mudbugs were rancid. Even the corn on the cob was chewy and stale! How do you mess up corn? Oh wait. It was probably frozen and precooked too. read more

I gotta agree with anonymous, the fish tacos are nasty. Rubbery shells (I would fry them) and not dressed very well. Needs salsa and cabbage, onions even. I love everything else! The salads are huge, and the grilled fish yummy. Sides are pretty nice too. read more

This place always has delicious food. I've tried the catfish, and on my last visit, I enjoyed the lobster stew.

US$ doesn't buy much any more. Can't recommend. Calamari basket. It has more sauce than Calamari. My 8 oz order was 6 oz sauces. read more

Flying Fish - Fried Calamari. - Seafood Near Me - Plano, Texas

I went to Flying Fish with a friend and we very much enjoyed our meal. We shared both our plates so we could try as much as possible. The quantity of food was outrageous. We had the Vera Cruz Snapper and the grilled Rainbow Trout. Both were delicious. I was a little disappointed the snapper was only offer fried. It was a whole fish. My friend loves the head and the crispy fins etc, I am not a fan.... She thought the fish tasted a little muddy for a salt water fish. I feel it had to do with the frying. The trout was delicious. We picked our vegetables which were 2 side salads. Fried okra, and grilled mixed vegetables. The salads were humongous! I could have made a meal from one. The grilled veggies were zucchini and yellow squash slices. Everything was delicious read more

Big sandwiches for my big appetite, love the vibes!

This place is packed before 6p on a Friday night. It is a self serve joint... stand in a long line, order at the counter, and find a seat. The unfortunate aspect is that many grab a table as soon as they arrive while half of their party orders, which leaves those who arrived first without seating... please be considerate and not "that" guy. The fried fish was ok. Nothing specular to write home to south Louisiana about. The fries were a little limp and hush puppies a little greasy. An ok seafood joint for land-locked North Texas. read more

AMAZING and friendly service - so sweet to our family and our little kids, and the staff made sure that everyone (even our baby ) got a kids boat basket. The food tastes awesome, and I love the overall vibe with the decor and the Billy Bass adoption center. Will totally come back! Thanks for being so sweet to our little ones too! read more

Not impressed. The shrimp and crab meat were stringy and taste like dish water. Maybe they were old? There wasn't much flavor to speak of. The shrimp were the tiny little 65/75 count and that's not what the menu showed. The stars are for a clean restaurant and a courteous staff. read more

I love this place. My personal favorite is the fried catfish crunchy tacos. Their taco shells are better than those at most Mexican restaurants. Make sure to join the Grub Club, because their coupons will save you a lot of money. read more

A great place !! Love the grilled Salmon and the fried catfish ... really cool vintage fishing decor.

I have never been a fan of catfish but this place has changed my mind. I'd have to say it's the best catfish I've had, so fresh & flaky, with the right amount of cornmeal batter, & most importantly no fishy smell! Oysters were very fresh here too. Great place to gave some decent seafood in this Plano neighborhood! read more

David David David. David is the cashier at the place. I brought 5 guest here to eat fro out of town. David gave one of my guest a one stamp fishing license. That license was given to me since he's out of town. I then asked David to transfer that ONE stamp to my license and an all out argument ensued. David insisted that he would not transfer the stamp and I was certain he could since they've done it many times before, every store has. David was simply being a bully and that turned out to be a major fail in that he was at the counter full on arguing with a paying customer. Very unprofessional. read more

Ordered Flying Fish through Door Dash and wasn't disappointed. I got the snow crab plate, which was well cooked and tasty - plenty of meat. The hush puppy order was huge and delicious. (FF - y'all need to charge more for that many in an order! ;) ) I also got the borracho beans and pickled green tomatoes out of curiosity - both super good. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the drawn butter that came with the crab - it tasted a little off. Will order from them again. read more

We have not had a bad meal there yet. Friendly service. Plenty of items to choose from the menu. The wait for the food is not long. Reasonable prices and I don't feel like I'm being ripped off or gouged like some of the over priced restaurants. Good place to meet your friends for a casual place to grab a bite to eat. read more

I can't tell you how much I love this place! I've been here over 4 times and every time it's delicious for myself and guest that I go with. I enjoy their grilled plates, the salmon & grouper being my favorite. They both are so flakey and melt in your mouth. I get their fried okra every time as it's that good! I do enjoy all my fish cooked snappy style, it gives it a great taste. read more

Flying Fish - Grilled Grouper, with fried okra & new potatoes Oysters in the back - Seafood Near Me - Plano, Texas

Possibly the worst and most expensive gumbo I have ever had! Have tried it a number primes but it never ceases to disappoint!

Great place to eat love it we have been going there in Plano for years now. They service. Some of the best fish tacos i have ever had thank you. read more

Stopped in for Sunday lunch with the family. The catfish was good, the fried shrimp was overdone and dry. My daughter liked her salmon but they got her sides wrong. I just feel that for the price the quality of food should have been better. I also noticed on the receipt that they added $1 to donate to Ukraine, I am not opposed to donating but I don't appreciate it being automatically added. The bottom of the receipt said they will refund if asked, but who is going to bother with that? read more

This restaurant was fantastic! It had a fun atmosphere and great service. The Mexican Shrimp Cocktail was amazing. My husband had the Lobster Stew and loved it. We shared oysters on the half shell, which were amazing with the sauce from my shrimp cocktail. The owner came to chat with us and was very nice. Great family atmosphere. read more

This is our second time and both times I got the fish tacos with red beans and rice . My red beans and rice were cold and gross. Fish tacos were warm but not hot. We ordered the oysters. They are 75 cents on Sunday . They asked if we wanted the oysters out first and we said yes. My husband looks at our receipt and we were shorted 6 oysters. They did make it right and gave us 12 for the price of 6. When our buzzer went off I went to pick up our oysters and nope no oysters . Our main course . They came out way late . I think this place is struggling. Rodeo goats patio was packed . This place not at all. Maybe the same experience as we had today. Prob won't go back. So disappointed. read more

The food here is not bad just average. You're not going to be blown away but you won't leave extremely dissatisfied. I'll also say it's a little overpriced for what you get. Very friendly staff. Casual atmosphere with spacious indoor/outdoor seating. read more

The food was good but not great. Ordered the 3 piece catfish basket with fries. The fish wasn't well seasoned, kind of bland and thin. Fries were definitely frozen with no seasoning added. The atmosphere is very nice and service was good with prices you'd expect from a seafood place. A few shakes of Cajun seasoning and it would be much better. read more

Flying Fish - 3 piece catfish and fries- $12. - Seafood Near Me - Plano, Texas

Seriously? This place is setup so nice - great atmosphere and good counter service. Could be a food place to frequent. Except - for the food. Nothing special with the Catfish - rather bland. The other Catfish reviews are way off base! They haven't tasted the real thing! Fried Shrimp were passable but nothing to talk about. Cole Slaw was incredibly bland - what is it about Cole Slaw that so many strike out on? How about spiking it up with something. Go talk to the Colonel or something. At least the Hush Puppies were decent. Wife had the Ceviche which, again, was terribly bland. Lobster Stew - yuck - not even close. Prices were definitely too high for what you get. Someone said that Long John Silvers was a better choice. And, I'd have to agree. For $12 we could have had a much better meal. At almost $50 - this was one of my worst dining decisions I've ever made. Seriously do not know how places like this survive. Too bad. A great place but for the food. That ain't gonna work. Took a long last look around to never return. read more

Super casual seafood place! The staff isn't traditionally friendly but they treat you as if they know you which fits with the laid back atmosphere. The crawfish was good quality and I can't wait to come back! read more

Snapper Veracruz was awesome and what you'll come back for! The staff was very friendly, patient, and full of information. Went there around 6 on Friday and place was full, but had no wait. Fried Calamari was ok for appetizer. Wife really liked her grilled salmon as well! read more

Great new location. Food and severe is great. A much needed addition to Plano. We had the Blacken Catfish Burrito....very tasty and the Fried catfish basket. Both were very good. On Sundays they have 75 cents oysters on the half shell. I look forward to warmer weather and enjoying the outdoor seating. read more

No complaints! The staff was very friendly and helpful. The menu was extensive. The establishment was clean and well decorated with a casual fishing vibe. Halotus and I split a cup of the lobster stew... It was hot and delicious with a lot of veggies and they didn't skimp on the lobster. We also split the Hog Wallow platter... The catfish, oysters and shrimp were tasty with the "snappy" seasoning option. The platter also came with fries and hush puppies, both were quite good. Halotus had two draft beers served ICE cold. The finale was the key lime pie... Tart and tasty!!!! We will be back!!!! Go fishing at the Flying Fish... Enjoy!!! read more

Great food and always fresh. Catfish is a little skimpy bit shrimp is great. Specials are good, give them a try!

Best fish tacos we ever had! Love the sauce. We chose tilapia over the catfish. Atmosphere is fun, with great blues music playing. Feels like we had lunch in New Orleans! We will be back soon! read more

Had two great experiences and one horrible experience that prompted this review. First two times the service was great and food was good. Third time, they got my order wrong and the catfish fillets were thin and tasted muddy. Sides were good. Called back and was assured that they would take the charges off for the part of the order they got wrong. Surprise, they charged me the whole amount! Not sure I can overlook everything that went wrong with the quality of the food and the rest of the experience. read more
