Well, darn it, they recently condensed the menu here, and my favorite item got cut. It was just a sandwich, (The Pig 'n Poultry) but I guess it had to go. Very disappointed about that. The gumbo I had on this visit was good, as it normally is. The grilled okra is one of my favorite side dishes in town. But my fish sandwich was just okay, unfortunately. Nowhere near as good as the Pig 'n Poultry in my opinion. If you've been coming here awhile, as I have, you might check the new menu to see if your dish is still here. read more

A friend told me we had to come here. So today we stopped in for a late lunch. We got the pork rinds...OMG!!! And we each had the fish & chips, my husband swapped out the slaw for dirty rice. Oh & I got root beer too...ALL amazing!!! Both left with happy, full bellieWe will for sure be back. read more

Food was great, service was good, and the smoking old fashioned was incredible! Definitely recommend for date night!

I had a mouthwatering burger at Tricky Fish! The meat was flavorful, dressed with typical fixings, but was topped with bacon and a sunny side up egg! Omg! The wings were accompanied by some kind of magical ginger flavored slaw. My daughter got the eggs, biscuits, and bacon and loved it. We also enjoyed the mimosa bar. You can buy the champagne and top it with a variety of juices and plop in some berries as well. Delicious! Oh, and the hostesses were super friendly as was the wait staff! FW residents welcome this well ran establishment! read more

I've been both here and Plano location and both are excellent. The food is some of the best you can find and service was perfect. Their peel and eat shrimp are phenomenal. I also had the DGS (darn good salad) which was perfect. read more

Tricky Fish - Peel and Peel & Eat Shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

The reviews are extremely high for this place, so I did expect a lot, but was surprised that they had someone standing at the door to open and close it for patrons. It's a very nice looking restaurant as well, spacious and modern. I ordered the fish sandwich with the bacon jam, a side of fries and cole slaw. The fries were SOOO salty. Appreciate that they season the fries, but let's not give folks high blood pressure with that Cajun seasoning :/ I couldn't finish all the fries The Cole slaw was under seasoned and lightly dressed and I wonder if I was supposed to eat it alongside the fries to help cut out all that seasoning. Liked that the slaw was fresh, but did not care for the flavor profile The sandwich was the star of the dish. Large piece of perfectly fried cod with bacon jam, lightly fried buns and spread with all the fixings. Really liked the sandwich, but would skip the fries and slaw next time read more

Tricky Fish - Fish Sandwich- decent, fries sooo salty :( - Seafood Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Really loved this place! We started with the Frozen Margarita & Filthy Pineapple Mule to start -- both were amazing! The drinks are exceptional here. Food was really great as well, everything was seasoned & had tons of flavor. Love that the Kitchen Sink Gumbo had a little kick to it! The fried platter was finished in literally ten seconds -- the tartar sauce was amazing! All of our plates were completely clean in a few minutes Only complaint was that service was a tad slow, but I let it slide as we went during a busy happy hour. Overall, really great experience & highly recommend this place! read more

I could sip on Hola Peno Mango Mules all day while enjoying some nice company. The drinks here are stellar and the star of the show. The food here is good but nothing special. Yet, I'd gladly come back to eat and drink. The fried green tomatoes are a B+ and the fish & chips are about a B to B-. The coleslaw though is a definite A+! My boyfriend had the crawfish étouffée and loved it. The étouffée didn't come with bread which I thought was weird. So the menu has some great things and some average items. Bottom line, come to drink, snack a little, and be merry. read more

Had Fish and Chips for lunch and Service was good. Very noisy atmosphere and couldn't carry on a conversation. The food reminded me of the food I had When I was in London - very bland. read more

Delicious food! Will definitely return! We had an smoked old fashion that was very tasty! Great service!

It's a hit! We were at a nearby medical center and the positive reviews on Yelp caught our attention and persuaded us to give it a try for lunch. First, we were seated immediately instead of having to find a spot. They weren't crowded, but still a little service helps. Our server was at our table to take drink orders, answer questions and offer advice since this was our first visit. He came back to refill my drink even before we had placed our order. The prices were not at all out of line for the food and service. There was adequate levels of both. My wife hat the Tricky Fish tilapia and I had the fried fish & shrimp platter bLackened. I know... Apparently it's the fried platter because everything is supposed to be fried - with fries - but the fish/seafood can be ordered blackened or grilled; which is a great option. The fish and shrimp on both offerings were flavorful and cooked perfectly. The okra, which is sliced longwise and flash fried (according to our helpful server) was excellent. We will be going back - probably very soon. read more

Great ambiance...open, airy. Far more than your Mom's bar! Food was amazing. Rice side dish could have been a meal in itself. I know Fort Worth is far from the ocean, but the blackened Atlantic Salmon was outstanding. Server was very helpful in describing the features of the new menu. I'll be back again this week!' read more

We've been here several times and each time is a treat. Great staff and great good! Check it out if you get the chance.

Great place!!!!! We'll be back. The service was great. We came in during lunch on Sunday. We were seated right away. Our server was so attentive. She was awesome!

Definitely recommend to all. read more

The food is average except the shrimp taco. The shrimp taco was the worst taco ever. It has no taste to it. I forced myself to finish the first one then I ate the rest like salad because I don't want to waste it. The other food quality is average. The service can be better. Our server was pretty nice and helpful at the beginning but as the night goes she will be talking to us as she's walking passed instead of actually stop by our table to talk to us. read more

I was excited to try it since Fort Worth needs more fish choices. Everything was way over salted (and I like salt!). There were no healthy choices which was the biggest disappointment; everything was fried. For the price, I felt it was below average, won't be going back. read more

I love this place! I call it fishy fish. It's super casual and the servers are super attentive. The prices are OK, they are slightly high for what they have, but it is very yummy. I've spent less on similar food in touristy New Orleans. read more

Our first ever visit there was last Friday. Our fiends said oh you have to try this place. Well, we were not as impressed as they were. It was very loud in there, 4 of us at the table, drinks were delivered to the table one at a time. I had the shrimp tacos with slaw, I'm not a fan of slaw but this was good. The shrimp tacos were lacking in flavor and the tortillas were very dry. One in our party had the salmon and another had the tricky fish platter. That was a hit as well. I might have to rethink the tacos next time. We were also surprised to see so many young children sitting around the bar. Personally I don't think that's the place for children. read more

Headed into DFW for a concert with my boyfriend and wanted some oysters so we stopped in. All I can say is wow. We got the happy hour oyster shooters and they were awesome! A little spicy but still great. My boyfriend and I shared the fish and chips and mahi mahi tacos and everything was so delicious. The fish and chips were both of our favorites for sure! I haven't had fish that flaky and flavorful since I lived near the Jersey coast. The servers and management are also super attentive to their service and detail. Shemar was our server and he was great! I have a possible shellfish allergy so I have to stay away from certain seafood and the manager immediately came over to make sure how everything was prepared would be safe for me to eat. Next time we're in the area we are absolutely coming back here! We also had the happy hour frozen margaritas and it was exactly what I was expecting. Wanted to also mention the restaurant itself is kept very clean. Was very impressed with how everything looked fresh and well taken care of. Very happy and excited for our next trip to the area! read more

Great food and drinks. Atmosphere was welcoming. Staff attentive. Would/will come back again.

I frequent here so much! I absolutely love their Happy Hour hours which are from 2pm-6pm, Monday thru Friday. I usually take advantage of the $5 frozen margarita, $7 fried green tomatoes, and $1 gulf oysters on the half shell. And I have to say, usually gulf oysters can be a bit too "muddy" or not as "crispy clean" tasting to me as cold water oysters generally are. But here, this is (minus a couple of forgivable times) absolutely not the case. I have no idea where they source their oysters from, but they are a smedium sized, briny, delicious bite and a STEAL @ $1 an oyster. Apart from their HH menu, their main menu is full of tasty goodies that I'm slowly making my way through trying. I'm a big time lover of their calamari which are freshly fried and include (my favorite) tentacles! If you're in the mood for a salad and like bleu cheese, DO NOT OVERLOOK their Darn Good Salad! I returned twice in one week after trying this menu item for the first time. Their burger is a great option if you're not in the mood for seafood. It's not listed as a double cheeseburger on the menu, but the thing comes with two patties and is HUGE - so be ready! I've tried their fried shrimp on a whim thinking, "how great can fried shrimp be?" However, I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with how much I enjoyed my meal. On another occasion I ordered their salmon medium rare thinking, "I bet they'll overcook it." But again, I was wrong! The salmon was perfectly cooked and did not have a fishy taste - not in the slightest, not in the least. I'd also recommend their shrimp and grits and macaroni and cheese. This is just my own personal taste, but menu items I've tried and not liked are: The Caesar Salad, Crab Cakes (they were okay, but overpriced IMO), and the coleslaw (just because it has a sweet chili Asian twist to it, and I'm not a fan of that flavor when it comes to coleslaw). Also! Be aware that the fried okra is actual okra sliced lengthwise and then fried. It's not your typical breaded, southern fried okra. The service and overall vibe is casually hip, airy, and light. It's not quiet and stuffy, but it's not loud and rowdy either. What's great is that whether you're dining solo or there to celebrate a happy occasion with a large group of family and friends, they can accommodate either or, no problem. It's easy to have and hear a conversation with your table or come for a working lunch and/or place to focus and study on schoolwork. And! If the weather is nice, they have covered, dog friendly patio with outdoor seating. Lastly, I have to add that I've never experienced bad service here, but my favorite server/waiter is Parker. He's always so courteous, attentive, informative, and polite! Anyways, I can't say enough good things about this place. I wish I'd taken pictures of everything I've ordered, but I'll be back. Haha, so I'll post them next time. read more

Food is always great and tasty! Service can sometimes be a little slow but they have a great atmosphere.

5 stars for this amazing event that was held tonight. We got to try some of the best appetizers that tricky fish had to offer. We had the bringer of trying the blu cheese chips, fried green tomatoes. Thai chicken wings and calamari. Yum so freaking delicious I already was telling the wife we are coming back this weekend. All the dishes were very unique and tasty and gave my tastebuds something special to smile about. So now that the good food is out of the way let's get into the drinks I mean wow where do I start. Well let me start with the raspberry drink that one was a refreshing start to the night with Tito's vodka and a nice raspberry taste to finish off the taste of the drink. Next was the filthy pineapple mule which was my personal favorite I actually got it twice. This drink was again pineapple infused Tito's vodka cherry purée and ginger beer man I'm in love with mules I just wish they gave more. It's too small I need more liquor but thankfully tricky fish provided. I went on to get the old fashioned which was an experience in itself. The drink comes in a nice glass with a square ice cube then the waitress has a smoky mason jar with your drink in it that is poured into your glass that resembles a cinematography like experience. You are going to want to pull out the phone for this one cause it's insta worthy. I also had the lime in the coco fire and ice and another drink but I can't remember what it was but they were all really good. We will definitely be back I want to try more meals here tricky fish might be a new favorite of mine who knows. This weekend diner is a must, read more

Look, cool and creative restaurants are great but you need somewhere to take Ma also. Alas, Tricky Frish fits that mold perfectly. She gets a normal dining experience for her midwestern pallet and you dont have to go to a grey sludge factory like Led Robster. The food is good here! The bisque was priced through the roof but I kinda was surprised with it. Ill def get it again! Look, would it kill ya to take your parents to dinner! read more

This was our first time coming to Tricky Fish but it definitely won't be our last. Wow all the food was amazing and smelled amazing. Our waitress was very nice and attentive.

My bf and I are all about trying new places and seafood is our favorite. We found Tricky Fish and we are so glad we did. We started out with a beer for him and a Raspberry Smash cocktail for me. While I though the glass it was served it was a bit extra, it was sooo tasty!! An even blend of alcohol and flavor. We started with calamari and it was perfectly crispy and the sauces that it came with were top notch too. I got the salmon with mashed potatoes and grilled veggies. My salmon wasn't overcooked, which is easy to do, and my potatoes were delicious! The grilled veggies were the letdown of the plate but only because they weren't seasoned well. My bf got the oysters on a half shell and he said they were tasty and fresh! He also got crawfish etoufee too. It was SOOOO good! Definitely recommend! read more

Tricky Fish - Front of the Tricky Fish. - Seafood Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Visiting from out-of-town is always a challenge to find great places in unfamiliar territory but Yelp is a great resource that came through again. We chose Tricky Fish and were thoroughly pleased from the moment we parked. We were greeted warmly and seated promptly. Our server, Peter, could not have been more friendly or helpful. He was definitely one of the top ten we've ever experienced. He was totally interesting and personable and provided attentive service. The food was prepared and served quickly and was delicious and plated well. I especially enjoyed the fried okra which was prepared in a unique, delicious way I'm going to have to try at home. The restaurant was warm and welcoming but casual and fun. You don't want to miss this one. read more
