    2 pc 3 shrimp combo basket (I added 3 more shrimp)

    This meal was tasty! Fish is 100% catfish! Fried to perfection. Fries don't taste like they were ever frozen I'll be back!

    Man O Man...where do I start? Service - Immediately greeted and welcomed upon entering. Ambiance - Well if you need glitz and shine...probably need Pappadeauxs. Food - However...if you want some Bomb-A$$ Catfish - this is YOUR SPOT! Perfectly cooked and seasoned. Do yourself a FAVOR and check out Catfish Connection ASAP! Catfish Connection - you have me HOOKED!!!!!

    2pc fish / fries

    Went in for lunch friendly staff , food hittin . was fresh everything seasoned 10/10 --

    Overdone, old grease filets

    I'm giving a 2 just because they were open and the young lady up front was very nice. I've eaten catfish all of my life and i can truly say these were the worst...i ordered 3 filets and got 4 because they were so small....the grease was old and they were fried to a dark brown and crystallized at the small ends. They included 1 slice of white bread and they were sold out of boudin balls. I ate only 1/3 and into the trash it went. Woke up this am with stomach cramps and what followed! Please don't waste your money!

    I ordered the 2 pc fillets and 3pc shrimp non spicy and fries. It was really really good I've been wanting to try them out for a while, I'm glad I did and will be back.

    I came to get my grandma weekly fix of fried catfish. I decided to try this location since it's BOB. The season was on point with the fried catfish, the price is right, and the customer service is A1. I'll have to try their Spicy catfish next . Only down fall is the grease could've been a little fresher.. other than that it's good. Won't be my last time. Not sure what's in the tartar sauce, but is really good.

    Ordered 2 catfish filets and 3 shrimp; spicy - please note that lovely 3rd piece which does not make me one bit of mad!

    Great catfish. Good seasoning and really nice size pieces. Also have a spicy seasoning. Both are very tasty.

    first time there my wife craving catfish it was very good , will be back for more…read more i had lobster roll it was better the cousins Maine lobster

    I ordered the Coddle Plate ($18.95), which is described as tilapia and jumbo shrimp sautéed with…read morehouse 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.
