    Caddo Plate
    U'kay E.

    I ordered the Coddle Plate ($18.95), which is described as tilapia and jumbo shrimp sautéed with house seasonings, topped with a creamy cheese sauce mixed with pico de gallo, served with basil white rice. What I received was completely inedible. The tilapia was burnt and tasted almost rotten, not just overcooked but scorched to the point where the flavor was overpowering and unpleasant. The shrimp were also burnt to a crisp. The tails were visibly blackened, not charred for flavor, but burned. I managed maybe three bites before having to stop. No amount of cheese could cover how bad the fish tasted, and it honestly felt like the cheese was being used to mask a serious cooking issue. This was a complete waste of nearly $20. I also ordered the Grits & Gumbo, described as deep-fried grits with a crunchy exterior topped with house seafood gumbo. The grits were hard and bland, not flavorful. The gumbo itself was disappointing: the roux was thin and bitter, lacking depth or seasoning. The only decent part of the dish was the shrimp, but that alone couldn't save it. I finished the gumbo, so I'm not expecting a refund there, but the coddle plate absolutely should be refunded. It was genuinely inedible. Unfortunately, based on this experience, Flying Fish will not be getting any more of my business. Whoever is running the kitchen does not understand execution, seasoning, or basic seafood preparation. Strongly do not recommend.

    Looks like April 2017 was my last trip in here. Two stars then yikes! Fortunately tonights experience was much better. However,this location in my opinion is the weak link among all the Dallas Ft Worth locations. My fried catfish and shrimp combo accompanied by fries and 2 hush puppies did the trick. The decor as all the others is nuvo bait shack which I love. All in all, if you're hunting " seafood" in this area,their extensive menu will surely satisfy One of your cravings.

    This place is awesome and right inside Firewheel Garland! My husband and I were craving seafood/Cajun in our area and came across this place and we were SO glad to have found it! The restaurant is open and spacious and they have such unique wall decor and photos of people from all over. The food seasoning was great and the fried items were perfection! Love their sauces and everything tasted great. It's rare to find places like this in Dallas with game meats for us and we enjoyed our experience and trying something new! Service was helpful and quick and staff was very friendly. Would recommend!

    We were looking for a restaurant that wouldn't be an hour drive or that would cost an arm. This place was perfect. Food was perfectly seasoned and not salty. We ordered at the counter and they gave me a buzzer for pickup whenever the food is ready. Drink and sauce station to the right. Seat yourself kind of environment. Walls were decorated with pictures and fish. Huge parking lot in the front to choose from.

    I think I need to go back and try in person va Uber eats. Red snapper and salmon were not great. Food was extremely cold and soggy.

    A seafood favorite. Flying Fish has an atmosphere like it's next door to a fish camp on the lake. Fried or grilled, the catfish is delicious. Shrimp, oysters, crawfish, and sides are prepared well. The cole slaw has a new recipe you must try. It's chopped and diced fine to a perfect consistency. Nice selection of beer, wine, and margaritas. I recommend joining the free Grub Club online. Every month you get a BOGO coupon. If there are two of you that join then double your pleasure. See you there !

Now let's talk about the quality of their seafood?! Yall see that live tank.. their seafood is fresh! I almost gave up on good quality seafood in Dallas but @pier88dallas has met my expectations out for sure! What really stood out was their customer service! The servers really take care of you!

I definitely will be back @pier88dallas! Go check them out and tell them @foodiesonthemove_ sent you

Makes you feel like you're on a ship going deep sea fishing for fresh seafood. Teresa was the server I had. She was so sweet and broke everything down. They have happy hour on select food and beverage items from 12-6pm Monday through Friday, but go ALL DAY Sunday so this is the place to be. You're entertained the moment you walk in as they have an upbeat playlist for guests to sing/dance along to & also have some TV's throughout for those who want to stay in the know. Food was also really well prepared & served HOT. No complaints at all. As of now they also provide guests with a 10% off coupon if you share your experience with them on Facebook, IG, Google or Yelp so don't be afraid to take advantage. I'll definitely be back!

    This is probably the third time I've been to Kicking Crab within the last two months and I can't…read morecomplain. My usual order is the crawfish with Kickin' Style, with the spicy spice level. I've been pleasantly surprised by the decent size of their crawfish this season, especially considering how hard they've been to find elsewhere. The oysters have also been consistently good-sized during my recent visits. I've experienced varying crowd levels here; weekdays tend to be less busy, but last Saturday had a line out the door, so i would recommend to come prepared for a wait. Despite the crowds, the ample seating helps accommodate everyone, although the noise level can escalate with the lively atmosphere of people enjoying each other's company.

    My friends and I are on a cross country road trip and were really craving a seafood boil--We found…read morethis spot on Yelp, about 15 minutes from our hotel, so we decided to check it out. -- Combo #1, which lets you pick 3 out of 4 seafood options for $47, plus corn, sausage, and potatoes. We chose crawfish, mussels, and shrimp head-on with Cajun&Garlic butter--it tasted super tangy for some reason, I think they may have accidentally added lemon pepper but it was good still. --My other friend got 1 lb of crawfish and 1 lb of shrimp with mild Louisiana sauce, which was sweet and buttery. The Louisiana sauce is definitely the go to choice, if you dont know which to get. --We also got rice (a bit dry but perfect for soaking up the sauce) and steamed broccoli, which was cooked deliciously. -- And the only other thing I would mention, is the shrimp and mussels were of good size but the crawfish was on the skinnier/small size.. a little disappointed but still great, nonetheless. The service was great, and everyone was really friendly. Ambiance wise, the store is small and decorated with a beach shack vibe.

The bartender has such a sunny and sweet demeanor. I am giving her a 6 out of five. My drink was the painkiller, I am giving that a five out of five. So wherever I go I order fried green tomatoes. Now I am conflicted. The green tomatoes were almost ripe. However, the seasoning, the breading, and the shrimp on top were seasoned to perfection. So altogether I will give a 2.5.I didn't order red fried tomatoes. I had the Haddock and Linguine. I don't have to have it again. The Haddock tasted burnt on the bottom. Now I know it could have been delicious because when I put it in the sauce with capers it tasted much better. I am giving the dish a 2. My partner had the oysters they said they have had better broiled oysters and gave them a 3. However, their main dish they give a 4.5. Total experience is an honest for me 3.8. I will round up and give them a four. Try it for yourself you may like it.
