Flying Fish

Stopped for a quick quick bite and really enjoyed the vibe of this place. Kinda reminded me of a Bass Pro Shop with all the decor. The service is counter still order your food then find a spot to sit until your buzzer goes off. We had the lobster soup and the fried catfish and shrimp basket. Food was good and overall it was a good dinner experience. If you have a billy bass fish just laying around you can bring it in for some free food.

The food was good but I deducted a star because I didn't get what I ordered. They gave me the wrong plate. I didn't realize it until I was half way through the food and my friend asked didn't you order such ans such. I looked at the paper menu and saw that I didn't get the correct plate. This was our first visit. I let it go because I'd eaten the majority of the food and liked it. But it still wasn't what I ordered.

Definitely a place anybody should visit at least once, and then maybe more if you love it. We were so confused when the GPS brought us to some place that looks like a hole in the wall built from an old gas station. My daughter did not want to go in, but we're glad we did. Absolutely unique and adorable decor, lots of ambiance, lots of things to look at. They have a great menu and if we come back, would love to try some different things. We ordered the catfish and shrimp platter with a side of calamari. The shrimp were great, the catfish was pretty good but definitely needs more spices in the batter. Batter. The calamari was a little disappointing. Disappointing. Extremely overcooked and hard and dry, but I feel like that's pretty common in Houston so you might be okay with it if that's what you're used to. Next time, I definitely want to try the chowders or gumbo and some other dishes. Kids will love it and adults will too.

This place was great. Welcoming home style seafood restaurant. The guy at the register was cool and helped us since it was our first time there. We ordered a lot of food that was cooked to perfection. I had the Hog Wallow Fry. Which had fried catfish, shrimp, and oysters. The oysters were the best I had in a long time. We had enough food to take home. I will definitely be back.

Great Food and Great Service!! First time at The Flying Fish. I had the Chimichurri Rainbow Trout with Grilled Veggies, Fried Okra and a cup of Gumbo. The trout was nice and tender pairing nicely with the herbal and tangy notes of the chimichurri sauce which really enhanced the flavor of the fish. As far as the sides go, the fried okra was crispy and had a great texture and the grilled veggies were cooked to perfection. I really enjoyed this meal and I am definitely going back to explore their different menu offerings.

Repeat customers. Wife and i came in sunday around 5pm, 7/16/23, walked right up to counter and we each ordered the 1/2 lb crab 1/2 lb shrimp boil. Each comes with 2 potatoes ,1/2 ear of corn, hot butter and cocktail sauce. Perfect amount of food for each of us. Lightly seasoned, just right. Fresh lemonade and sweet tea are perfect. Our favorite go to spot for a seafood hankering, at reasonable prices. Have yet to have had a bad meal/experience in all the times we've been. The guy that runs the place ALWAYS aims to please, shame on me for not knowing his name by now, but we are always happy to see him and have him take our order. Restaurant is always clean. They always have old blues music playing, vibe is relaxing and fun. So much better than the good old days of red lobster. Plenty of parking, but construction is ongoing in the area (never a deal breaker, just be aware). Almost forgot, small bit of advice, if you intend to be back, ask for the "fishing license"!

Good customer service and prices, the 18 oz margarita was on happy hour ($1 off) when I went so that was a nice surprise. It was also incredibly strong for a frozen margarita before I fully mixed it with the flavoring add-on (no extra cost for that btw). This is one of the better places I’ve been to in the area for fried seafood, especially for value for price. I got the 1 fish/4 shrimp fried combo and subbed the fries and hush puppies for a corn on the cob. The corn itself had plenty of butter but no flavor and wasn’t sweet. Definitely corn intended to be cut up and put in a seasoned boil rather than served on its own, in my opinion. The fish filet and shrimp where a little thin for my liking but seasoned well enough. Because they were thinner though, the fry batter was a little much. Overall though, would come back if I need a convenient fried seafood fix.
