Everything was delicious. Made me want to bring one of those singing mounted fish from back in the day...free appetizer if you let them adopt it. Huge portions as well. Great music. Homemade tarter sauce!!!

Flying Fish was 5 star all the way. It's a repurposed gas station with a bait shop ambience. They even have a Billy Bass Adoption program. Its hilarious 😂. I ordered the fried fish and shrimp, of course. The shrimp were large and almost buttery. The fish filets were tender and crispy. If you sign up online for their "club" you can get email discounts and they have a loyalty card. Personally, they do not need the discounts. The food was very reasonably priced for the portions and taste. I highly recommend the Flying Fish 🐟🐠. Update: 9/6/24 Just as good as before. Two whole fried catfish platters. Delicious.

Definitely a place anybody should visit at least once, and then maybe more if you love it. We were so confused when the GPS brought us to some place that looks like a hole in the wall built from an old gas station. My daughter did not want to go in, but we're glad we did. Absolutely unique and adorable decor, lots of ambiance, lots of things to look at. They have a great menu and if we come back, would love to try some different things. We ordered the catfish and shrimp platter with a side of calamari. The shrimp were great, the catfish was pretty good but definitely needs more spices in the batter. Batter. The calamari was a little disappointing. Disappointing. Extremely overcooked and hard and dry, but I feel like that's pretty common in Houston so you might be okay with it if that's what you're used to. Next time, I definitely want to try the chowders or gumbo and some other dishes. Kids will love it and adults will too.

Stopped for a quick quick bite and really enjoyed the vibe of this place. Kinda reminded me of a Bass Pro Shop with all the decor. The service is counter still order your food then find a spot to sit until your buzzer goes off. We had the lobster soup and the fried catfish and shrimp basket. Food was good and overall it was a good dinner experience. If you have a billy bass fish just laying around you can bring it in for some free food.

LOVE THIS SPOT! I am a huge seafood lover and since discovering this place, we try to eat there at least once a month. Easy Parking - Outdoor Dog Friendly Patio - Clean Bathrooms - Lots of Dining Spaces - Fast Casual Concept!!! Small Selection of Beer on Draft - HUGE menu including niche products (Alligator, Mahi, Grouper, and more). Super reasonable prices. Good portions. And the food is great! I love the slaw, the interesting sauces, as well as the preference of Cajian rice and beans over items like fries. Did I mention it was fast casual? Ha! Really love that feature over a wait staff. Reallly friendly service and all in all a gem!
