I travel to Fort Worth regularly for medical appointments and shopping. This was the best dining experience I’ve had in years. The food was excellent. Served hot and timely by Ashley. Ashley was personable and respectful. She joked with my 85 year old father and handled our questions about the food with ease. I will return and recommend to others.

First of all! Great customer service from the staff. I ordered from the Door dash app for a pickup order. I have looked up this places that serve fried green tomatoes which is one of my favorite dishes. I ordered fried green tomatoes, boudin balls, catfish platter & fries, Caesar salad topped off with key lime pie with berries. I couldn't even leave the parking spot without digging into everything one awesome bite at a time. The fried green tomatoes were so delicious but I couldn't stop there I experienced some of the best food in America I only had a small portion left for dinner because I just couldn't resist eating more & more. I wish they had a buffet or all you can eat catfish special for just one day. Shot one hour would be incredible. The food was fried perfectly. Can't wait to go back again! Oops I forgot to take pictures. If you're looking for some of the best seafood in Fort Worth Texas stop by your taste buds won't be disappointed.

Magic Mike is The Guy! He’s extremely informative, polite, humorous and down to earth. I’ve been here a million times and he made my experience the best thus far. Everything I had was delicious.

This place is incredible! I would highly recommend, you will absolutely not be disappointed! We had calamari, tricky fish, and parmesan crusted haddock! All of it was delicious and the service was awesome! You will not be disappointed!

This turned out to be one of my favorite meals on this visit to Fort Worth. The seafood was fantastic, and the price was quite reasonable. Service was very helpful throughout which is pretty much par for course in Texas. The environment is very clean and modern but still very comfortable feeling. Also the restaurant is in a nice shopping complex area with options for excellent coffee or even Whole Foods nearby. This is the kind of place I'd stop in by myself just to grab a simple, light seafood lunch --- maybe a dozen gulf oysters and the fried calamari which is PERFECT! Highly recommend!

April 2025 Visit: we were craving for some fish-n-chips and our last dining experience here was incredible so came back. So glad we came! Our food was served hot, fish and chips tasted fresh with the perfect crunch. The restaurant was clean and has a vibrant setting. Zahra attended to us promptly when we walked in and attentively throughout the dinner. Her service was top notch and with a smile, making the overall dining experience worth the 20 mile drive! We feel that the management team here is going a great job recruiting and training the talent and running a solid restaurant. We will be back and will try other items on the menu! ————————————————————- Jan 2025 Visit: No nonsense seafood and the best fish n chips in dfw, hands down! Everything to the point and delicious…no cutting corners here food or service. If you haven’t been to this location, then GO! Pro Tip: ask for Sarah! We had an outstanding outdoor lunch service by her. She was proud of her work (a delight to see it these days), full of energy and took ownership of giving us a 5-star dining experience.

First time eating here and I must say it was delicious. I had the shrimp and catfish basket. The batter for the shrimp was great, and perfectly seasoned. The catfish I'd say was good too but not as seasoned as the shrimp. All in all I still give it a 5 star rating.

My new FAVORITE place! Shrimp blackened to perfection. My husband said you can taste the quality IN the food! Great drinks, did NOT skim on the liquor. Fried green tomatoes were Delicious!

Chris Homer

The fish tacos are awesome. They go good with the Community IPA on draft. My girlfriend's sister got the fish and chips and it looks delicious! I need to go back soon and explore the menu. Staff is helpful and the restrooms are clean. That says a lot about the kitchen's cleanliness. I'll definitely be back soon!

The food was very good. The drinks were good also. The crab cakes were fresh. The shrimp tacos were blackened perfectly. The only down side was it was a little on the expensive side.

The server was great. We ordered shrimp and fish tacos and shrimp/spinach enchiladas. The shrimp in the tacos were good. The fish was overcooked and dry. The corn tortillas were cold and tough. The enchiladas were not what I ordered. They were shrimp and sausage with lots of peppers. Not good at all. When I told the server, she took it back to the manager and they thanked us for letting them know that when they add the enchiladas in the system it enters as the seafood enchiladas. There was not an apology or we are sorry. No offer to discount our meal. Customer service these days does not existent. We will not go back.

Is it normal for a server to notify the manager after being informed the hush puppies we were served were undercooked? The person that was representing as manager explained to us the soft center was due to the amount of cheese in them, but we showed her the undercooked, raw and doughy insides and she agreed to have another order made. We had no issues with the drinks, appetizers or seafood platters other than the hush puppies. A manager trying to convince us to accept undercooked food turned the whole experience into not feeling welcome at Tricky Fish. It also didn't help that the hostess that held the door for us as we were leaving made a snide comment to us.

I've always heard good things about this restaurant and people have recommended it multiple times. The presentation of the food was the best thing about this place it all looked so good but it's sad to say that wasn't the result we ordered the catfish and shrimp platter was so stoked when it came out but the shrimp ended up tasting kind of rubbery IMO as well as the catfish just wasn't the best especially for the price of the food , I'd say if the food was a bit cheaper then it probably give it a 3 star. My favorite thing we had was the appetizer blue cheese and chips it was good but the price again didn't seem to match the amount/quality of food but again the presentation they look super delicious and mouth watering, my girls favorite dish their was the coleslaw she said it was delicious but I'm not a big Cole slaw person so I'll have to agree w her on it. The atmosphere of the place was not good we were there about an hour and we did not see one single employee smile everyone their seemed to not enjoy their job from the hostess, bar , waiters and the staff handling the food. I'm not saying I will not give this another go in the future but as of right now I'd just rate it a 2 star overall if we base it off the presentation itself of the food I'd give it a 4. Definitely try it out and make your own opinion I can't speak for everyone as well as people do have off/bad days and maybe this was just one here.

We visited Tricky Fish on Sunday, November 2, 2025, for my cousin’s 30th birthday gathering. The first part of our experience was extremely disappointing and honestly upsetting. Our group arrived around 4:00 p.m., and we got there a few minutes later around 4:20. My aunt let the host know we were with the same party — they were seated at the high table to the right, and we were being sat right behind them. When my aunt asked if the tables could be pushed together so we could all sit as a family, Matt (the staff member) immediately said no and made it clear he wasn’t willing to do that, even though the restaurant was basically empty at the time. Then he told my aunt he could ask us to leave — which was completely unnecessary and disrespectful. His tone and attitude made it obvious that our presence as a large Black family bothered him. You could literally see the disgust on his face. At that point, my uncle stepped in to calm things down, and we decided to stay and make the best of it. But the energy was already ruined. The servers took a while to come over — it was clear they were talking about what had happened instead of helping us. We finally went to the bar to get drinks, and that’s where things started to turn around. The bartender was amazing — so kind, professional, and welcoming. She didn’t comp anything or make excuses, she just treated us like valued guests. Her attitude truly changed the mood for us. Bar drinks: 10/10 Food: 8/10 (but who messes up a Caesar salad?) Dear Tricky Fish, please do better. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, no matter what they look like or how big their group is. We came to celebrate, to eat, and to enjoy being a family. It’s sad that in 2025 we still have to experience this type of treatment. We refused to let it ruin our day — but it definitely changed how we see your restaurant.

HORRIBLE SERVICE! Just got back from a lunch with 9 people - restaurant was about 1/2 full. Took over 2 hours! Wait staff was extremely slow and more interested in talking to others than doing their jobs. 1 of our 9 ordered their special - we ALL waited over 20+ minutes for it to be delivered (and after 2 complaints - one to manager and one to server) - and their solution was to comp the warm, ready meal vs. the cold meal(s) that were now 20 minutes out with nobody touching them. To add insult to it all - manager came by and asked if we were ready to check out, said yes, off she went. Server came by 8 minutes later - ready to check out - yes, your manager just asked us. Waited another 6 minutes - finally had to get up and go ask for our check to check out. Wait staff is trying to do too many things at once. Bus tables, make drinks, get food, seat people - pick 1 or 2 things and do it. There was not a single person left in that restaurant when we left 2 hours later that was there when we arrived 2 hours earlier. Whole parties walked in, ordered drinks, got food and checked out while we were still waiting. No kidding! We are all repeat customers - never again. Unreal.
