Review Flying Fish - Fort Worth

Don Eggerton

Updated November 3, 2023 ….. well my wife and I went back tonight expecting a great meal. See the pictures while it looked good. Clearly, there was something wrong. My wife’s whole catfish tasted fishy. My fillet catfish tasted fishy and was mushy. We got fried okra, and they were mushy. There is a clear lack of attention to detail, leaving a fat gray matter on catfish, turns into a strong fishy flavor. It could’ve been the oil was old are the oil temperature was not where it needed to be to fry properly. Anyway, I don’t wanna pay $63 to have a meal that we have to stir around to find something that taste good.

We ordered the shrimp basket, catfish platter, and their special which was, “The Caddo.” The fish was hot and delicious per usual my only complaint are the fries, they were a little bit overcooked and not as hot as the fish. Our favorite out of the three was, “The Caddo”! Overall our experience was pleasant and next time we will switch out our side from fries to something else!

I enjoyed my lunch it was good I would love to come back and try other menu items. I will say my oysters was very small so that was disappointing. Service was fast and quick. The ceviche was nice and light.

So you have to go to a counter to order. Prices are that of a seated serve restaurant. Food was good. Lots of catfish (not a fan) but I had the trout. Outside seating available and the inside has tons of fishing pictures.

Kitchen staff here are amazing. They work so hard and do amazing things in the kitchen. All you can eat catfish on Wednesdays is a must do. You can sub grilled squash veggies for fries/rice in any dish. Fires are from frozen so only okay ish.

Quite crowded during lunchtime, but the food came quickly. Moreover, the fried thing is fresh and crispy. I love cocktail dipping sauce.

We love the flying fish! High quality food in a quirky and fun atmosphere. From the simple fried catfish basket to the fancy grilled options there’s something for everyone. My kids are thrilled by the cute boat that the kids meals come in whether fish or chicken strips. I always upgrade my side to the red beans and rice. Plenty of cold beer choices and fabulous housemaid lemonade. I’d have the flying fish in weekly rotation if we lived closer

Been here a few times and have tried a few different things. This time was frog legs and catfish. Everything was great and fresh. Someone also ordered the jalapeño chips so I had a few of those and those are a must have from now on. If you like seafood give this place a shot, prices are great for what you get. Relaxed atmosphere and good food.

I usually do take out, but this time I took the rare opportunity to spend some precious time with my grandson, and we dined in, since we were blessed to finally find a decent parking spot, and there was available space for dining in! Which is a rare thing! My grandson and I enjoyed the speedy receipt of our delicious food! Our order was tasting fresh, hot, crispy, spicy, and the servings were huge! We definitely requested some to go boxes!

Yum.. I placed a to go order. It was ready when I got there. The order was correct. The staff greeted me when I walked up even though they were very busy. The food was delicious. I couldn’t wait and started munching on my shrimp and fries on the drive home. I saw a display for a stew that I really must try. Sounded good to try with our cooler weather. The restaurant was clean and all the patrons seemed to be enjoying their food. My only dislike…the parking, but a busy parking lot means good business good food good service. Keep up the good work guys..I’ll be back soon!
