Nice little joint, at the new WaterSide in Ft Worth. We decided to come and check this place out. Nice bar area. A bit loud, no means for a quiet fish dinner. Simple drink and food menu. Ordered their most popular drink the smoked old fashion drink, that was recommended by our very friendly waiter Anthony! The drink it self came in a mason jar filled of smoke!  It smelled like a fireplace but tasted like an old fashion but with a little kick! I ordered the fish & chips, the Cod fish was nicely battered and fresh, the cole slaw was very fresh, the tarter sauce was nice and zesty, their fries were very tasty. We also ordered the catfish poboy, it was a perfect fresh bread, the fish was done perfectly, and it also came with fries.  Our waiter also reccomended the char grilled Okra, oh my God that was different!! It was skinned, cut in half and chargrilled to perfection, I totally reccomend you all to try it, it was very tastey!!  Anthony also recommeded desert, so we ordered the banana pudding with rum and mascopone cheese? A bit different but its small enough to share a few spoons and it was perfect! Service was 5 starts, All the staff were pretty attentive, loved the vibe, food was great, full bar, will definatly be back! read more

Great meal, Oscar our waiter was nice. I had the fire combo of shrimp and catfish. It was accompanied by fries and a slaw. I finished the slaw if that tells you something. Fries were eh, catfish was great as was the shrimp. I like what I had. I ordered the bourbon barrel aged beer on tap which is an excellent digestive aid. My wife had the fish and chips. She like the tarter that came with my meal but seemed disappointed in hers. Fish was bland on her meal. I ended up switching beers with her because she didn't like hers, they call this true love because I liked the beer I chose. Really a small sacrifice for my wife of 30 years. I would come back but wouldn't order the fish and chips. read more

All kinds of seafood, fast service free refills (not beer). Not enough parking! Get there early

We had the most outstanding service tonight at Tricky Fish! My husband had ordered the mahi-mahi tricky fish style. Once our food arrived, we began eating our meal. About 3 to 4 minutes in another waiter came over and told us that there had been a mistake, and they had given him redfish instead of mahi-mahi. He had a completely new plate with the correct fish. We told him we were good, that the mistake was ok. He then asked if we would like to take it to go. We couldn't turn that down, so he brought us a to go box. A few minutes later the manager came over and brought us a different to go box that he said was actually better so that we could microwave it. He then proceeded to box it for us. We have eaten at this restaurant numerous times, it was very busy this evening, but still the customer service was beyond five-star! read more

One of the best dishes in town is Tricky Fish's Tricky Fish dish!!! Blackened fish, crawfish étouffée, dirty rice...OMG...and the finish the plate off with grilled okra...a treat! I have had this several times, and each time I go back I shake my head that a plate of food could be this big, and this amazing! Really could feed two smallish eaters with an appetizer. Great atmosphere, attentive service (I like sitting by the windows in the bar area)...just a fine place to dine! Check it out! read more

Tricky Fish - Seafood Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

"Give it a Five!", my 12 year old daughter said when told I was writing a Yelp review. Brunch is when I came by and the special brunch menu is great! There is a "mimosas for two" option to get a bottle of descent Prosecco, two glasses, and a do-it-yourself juice and fruit bar - fun and tasty! This 2nd DFW location is a great local shop with high quality ingredients and scratch made recipients that are served in unique, yet familiar ways -- but with a great twist. Take the Shrimp and Grits classic, but lightly batter the shrimp and toss in Oysters and you have their Fried Shrimp and Oyster Grits. Fried Green Tomatoes with blacked Shrimp is also on the Brunch menu and you can pick any two brunch entrees and split a Bananas Foster Monkey Bread all for $25. Atmosphere is casual and they have a full bar and local beers. Also have March Madness on the screens in the bar and friendly, knowledgeable wait staff. Our table even had a power outlet with USB chargers! Score read more

Appetizers were delicious and I had the fried catfish platter and the fries were so crispy and seasoned very good as well! They were out of okra, which I was very sad about because I really wanted to try them. The food came out pretty quickly and the waitress was very nice. The place was not packed at all which we didn't have to wait to get seated. read more

A nice restaurant twith a very relaxed atmosphere. It does have a bar with televisions surrounding it, if you're wanting to watch sports and have a drink. Their Thai chicken wings were my favorite thing we tried by far, though I did enjoy the fried green tomatoes. They do have a very nice selection of drinks. They are made with a lot of effort so it can take a few extra minutes but they are worth the wait!! The smoked old fashioned was wonderful and has a great smokey taste. Their Manhattan was very enjoyable and even comes in a flask for flare. We will visit again. The ownership was fantastic and helpful also. read more

Service was phenomenal, vibe and food-not so much. I found this place on Yelp of course and since we hadn't had seafood in awhile I decided this would be a good place to go on a Friday night. Our wait was 30 minutes which wouldn't have been too much of an issue except there are no seats to sit and wait on. The place also loud-really loud, like meet-your-friends-here-after-some-pregaming loud, definitely not recommended for couples or groups having a nice night of catch-up. When we were finally seated, we ordered quickly and waited. My daughters side of fries (she's picky) was delivered first and they were delicious so they went quickly. I got shrimp linguine and it was .... good. I will say that the shrimp tasted fresh but the actual dish was oily and off tasting... it almost had a deep smoky flavor. It was good enough to eat though I was pretty hungry. We also ordered the banana pudding dessert which had rum it it, so that was nice, but other than that it wasn't substantial in the least bit. I'd give it a solid 7 out of 10. Like I said the service was great, but I wish the food was just as good. read more

A great addition to the Waterside area. Solid food, reasonably priced and very tasty. Been in 3 times, and nothing but great experiences so far - can heartily recommend the Gumbo and the Tricky Fish Tilapia, and the peel and eat shrimp (spicy and really good). Also, our waiter, Brad, was a rock star last night. The place was packed on a Friday night and Brad was excellent with my over-consumption of iced tea, quick follow up to see how we were doing and attentive despite the packed house and having a lot of tables. We'll be back - keep up the great work, Tricky Fish! read more

Tricky Fish - Fried Green Tomatoes - Seafood Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Fun, new Cajun restaurant in the Waterside. Fresh fish and all of the other ingredients prepared simply every day. Started out with one of their "happy hour" cocktails, which was a great way to spend time learning the menu. Then gumbo - wow. That's good!. The Blackened Redfish with crawfish comes with a healthy portion dirty rice and fried okra. It was bursting with Louisiana flavors--damn good. The okra is not breaded - just flash fried to bring out all its flavors. My waitress was a jewel. Helpful, friendly and always there when I needed her. Good selection of wines by the glass. The place is new and it looks it, with lots of light, open interior, it can get loud and it did the night I was there. Overall, the quality of the food and the expert Cajun preparation should make you want to get on over there. Tricky Fish is definitely worth a visit. read more

Will be back to try other menu items! The drink menu is pretty impressive. Foods I tried: fried calamari, chips with blue cheese, teriyaki wings, and fried green tomatoes. My favorite was the teriyaki wings and fried green tomatoes. That being said there is also a disclaimer (I'm not a big seafood person unless it's fried). This is one reason I need to come back to try some more of the fried items. The fried calamari was really good! Alcohol drinks were made well with a very nice presentation. The staff was awesome! Very tentative and friendly! There is a fountain machines for your water and sodas which is really convenient. Classy presentation with a friendly atmosphere is what I thought of the restaurant overall. The parking is shared with other businesses so that might be tough on the weekends. read more

We have been with at least 3 different couples and a hand full of times with family and just the 2 of us. Not one time have they disappointed. One of the times we went they had no red fish but served us a choice of mahi fish for no additional charge I was hooked. They truly love us!!! Then we showed up and they led us straight to our seat with no hating on me for having to pull my shirt up for a mask. They are top notch here. The tricky fish is the bomb. Sam was just one of the awesome ones to have as a wait staff. read more

4.5/5 This place is cute inside and the food is good. Of course, I found it on Yelp. Decided to suggest it for at work one day for lunch. Aside from a small mix up in our order, I was satisfied. You know a place is good when you try it for the first time via to-go and you enjoy your meal. Staff is nice and efficient. I tried the tricky fish with salmon and it was delicious. It was seasoned well, blackened, just how I like it. I was initially unsure about the okra but it was yummy. The dirty rice was awesome as well. I've had several places attempts at dirty rice and was pleasantly surprised that this place got it right. Oh and I also tried the Mac and cheese which was also pretty good. I'm sure the added meat would make it even better. My coworkers tried other dishes such as the shrimp po boy, the grilled red fish and a shrimp salad and they l had great things to say. We will definitely we eating here again soon and I can't wait to take hubby for a date night. read more

I know, I said I was saving my five star ratings for only the very best. Guess what? This is the real deal! Spectacular food, great drinks and amazing service. Clean to the bone kitchen and restrooms! The food here is off the hook as my bud Guy would say. I ordered the blackened catfish po boy. Sweet wife had shrimp and grits. We shared the okra. Catfish po boy had fresh let us, red onion, pickle and a smear of horseradish sauce. The catfish was hot, spicy and moist. The roll was fresh, soft yet crusty. Perfecto! Shrimp and grits were creamy, cheesy hot and delicious. Top with shrimp sautéed in tomato and basal and butter. It was off the hook...oh I said that already! We both had Arnold Palmers that were cold and blended to perfection. Yep this is the place! Come now, eat outside on the patio for a absolutely perfect meal! read more

Ah, yes for both food and service. I went to Tricky Fish with a cousin. We both had the fried seafood combo. I had fried okra as a side. It was pretty good. We ordered Thai wings which were very delicious. The crawfish etouffee was very delicious it's enough heat. I love cocktails so I chose a blood orange margarita. It was ok. Overall, Tricky Fish was good. I will be back. read more

Kinda stuck between 3-4 stars. Why can't we have half stars? Anyway, I always get excited when a new seafood place opens up. That excitement quickly diminished when I found out Tricky is cousin to Razzoos. Kidding. Before I knew, I did find the catfish familiar tasting. Especially the batter. The catfish may be better than their cousin's though. We've been here twice and got food once to go. I've had the blackened redfish, fried shrimp and oysters. I've tried the catfish and the beer battered fish. I like the blackened redfish. Not overly spiced, but it was a perfect amount for blackened fish. I like it. The fried catfish and fried shrimp are decent. The fried oysters seem to be a little too slimy for me. Maybe it's because we got it to go? Hello Favor. Not sure, but will have to try the oysters there next time. I love how they grill the Okra. I only had a bite of the beer battered fish and I liked what I tasted. I may get that next time. The banana pudding is delicious. You can definitely taste the rum. Full bar. I like the Blossom cocktail. Lunch time you order at the counter. Dinner time is full service. read more

Ashely took care of us, she was amazing. Super sincere, we will surely be requesting her next time. She had great recommendations. Everything we ordered was amazing the beer battered cod was above par and the Yelp pics, as good as they were, didn't do it justice. It was a very large piece. Perfect flavor and crunchiness. The fries were good too. My tot has the blackened cod and he loved it, very flavorful and flaky. (Blackened fish as an option for kids is rare but tot doesn't eat meat, shellfish and doesn't like fried fish so he usually has to order his own entree (pricey) or just fries when we grab food) I'm glad there was something he could enjoy. Now to the drinks, I had a rum based one from the happy hour it was sort of like a pina colada it wasn't very strong but it was flavorful. The frozen margarita was really good, much stronger and def what I needed. The French toast desert is a must have I wish I would have gotten a picture of it but it was devoured very quickly. I can't wait to come back here again. We live about 30 min away but the Yelp reviews drove us to give it a go while visiting the Fort Worth Zoo. Also very laid back and family friendly vibes where the hubby and I can drink and relax without feeling guilty or be rushed that we have a tot with us. read more

What a great surprise this place was today! I will admit it "I am a fish and chips snob" I've had it many times in the UK and I am super picky... 4 of us enjoyed lunch at Tricky Fish today. We had a Great, attentive waitress, fast service and, oh thank you sweet Jesus amazing fish and chips!! The fish was light and super crispy without being greasy, the tender fresh fish was perfect. Ok, maybe a couple of points off for skinny fries but the fish was so good none of us cared! Large portions, great pricing. What more can I say, unless you're on your way to a pub in the UK this is THE place for fish and chips. Is there more on the menu? Probably but who cares!!! One person In our group had the fish sandwich and she raved about its freshness and great taste. No photos to share because we are all busy scarfing our meals. The manager came by a couple of times to ensure we had everything we needed and that's always a good sign as well. Yes I am SOLD, we will be back until we are considered "regulars" Bravo! Now just put on the EPL and I will die happy! read more

So let's talk about my love for Mac and cheese. It all started when I was growing up in the Bahamas the Mac and cheese we would get for lunch was to die for. Moving to the USA it's hard to find great Mac and cheese and I have tried allot of places. I had the Mac and cheese with blackened shrimp and it was freaking great like I smiled inside because every bite was a trip back home. If you ever come here you must have the Mac and cheese. Thanks to the staff and the chef for making my night. read more

Tricky Fish - Cracklin' with a special dip. - Seafood Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

We chose this one from the choices based upon the previous Yelp reviews. And, we were not disappointed. The restaurant definitely has a hipster style. As my sister in California said upon seeing the pictures we sent, "Wood planking on walls = double fancy. Any beards on men? If so, that's an extra 10 hipster points." Followed by: "omg wood-planked ceilings." So, take that into account. The prices are about what you would expect for a good seafood restaurant, which is higher than others. However, we did not find them to be excessive. I had the Tricky Fish, a blackened tilapia filet with dirty rice and etoufee. There was a side of okra, not breaded and fried. There was a good spice level, and the serving side was plenty. My wife had a spicy shrimp entree that was good, although I do not remember the name of it. Their kids menu is not published and is not the greatest, so we ended up getting my 5-year-old the adult Mac and cheese, which she found to be very good. We took the rest home for her to eat later. We were there during Happy Hour, and we had the $5 margaritas, which are very good. We will definitely be back. read more
