This was probably the best fried oysters and shrimp I have ever had. I got the 6 oysters and 6 shimp basket. Plenty of food and it was delicious! Definitely will be back!
Low key fish shack vibe. Order and pick up at the counter. Wide selection of fried and grilled seafood combos. Plenty of sides to choose from, too. We really enjoyed the fried shrimp and catfish basket with fries. Lots of fun things to look at on the walls and friendly people behind the counter. Seating inside and out. Clean, unassuming, highly recommend!
Good service, clean place but the food’s flavor very flat, we ordered a basket of fried oysters and fried tilapia tacos, one time visit only
Man honestly these reviewers must be from out of town. Ima be honest because this place was not all that some people are making it out to be. Fish is claimed to be red snapper but had a rubbery texture, gumbo was low budget and had more okra in it than anything else. Crawfish had a decent flavor but was dry no juice in the shell. Tried the etoufee and it gave me chef bouyardee vibes with the sauce base, plus the vegetables in it were too crunchy. Potatoes, corn and boiled shrimp had very little flavor. This was senior citizen food and God bless the seniors but this tasted like “nursing home” so I could see how they could enjoy this. Somebody from Oregon or Delaware must have tried to start a Cajun restaurant, can’t see why folks are goin crazy over this, but then again Houston/Texas gettin an influx of newcomers who don’t know better, and to that I say bless yalls hearts. Try places like Saigon house on 1960, or Mikes Seafood on Bisonnet and get back at me. This experience at “The Flying Fish” was the poor man’s version of “Floyd’s” and Floyd’s ain’t all that but it’s damn respectable.
Tried this place for the first time of I’m sure will be many last night. Service was friendly and food came out quick and hot. Both of my friends enjoyed their dishes as well. Very broad menu with plenty options. Gotta go back to get the hula poppers. The fried Jalapeño chips were phenomenal and came with two dipping sauces. Dining room was spacious and very cool. Would highly recommend.
We ordered seafood gumbo, jumbalaya, and 4 pounds of crawfish. The seafood gumbo was excellent and the jumbalaya was great, too. The crawfish was a total disappointment. We’re in season, but these crawfish were tiny. They were really not worth the effort. Last year I came here, and they were good. But this batch was way too small. Do yourself a favor: don’t order the crawfish.
The GM Roy has the absolute best customer service this side of Houston! Each visit he has the same pleasant and positive disposition. He's courteous and friendly and happy to give recommendations of any menu item. I recommend the shrimp basket with an order of fried snapper (a la carte) tried and true :)The food is fried in peanut oil and it's prepared to order. You can always expect a fresh and hot order and it's consistently tasty. The restaurant has a local down home feel with friendly staff.I can't say enough about the gem in the city but it's definitely worth the visit and you'll see why you'll come back for more.
Great spot for seafood with reasonable prices. They have a large menu with great margaritas. This place is kid friendly. The food came out fast and everyone was very friendly. Parking can sometimes be an issue when busy.
Good food-good price-good vibes.
So many choices! Great value for the price. Nice dining in, to include an outside patio. First time there, we found *Our New Fish Place*. We will be back!!
