Tricky Fish did not disappoint! We started with broiled oysters that were absolutely delicious, and the shrimp and crab bisque was rich and satisfying. For our mains, we each ordered the fried catfish and shrimp platter, which came with well-seasoned fries and a decent coleslaw. The ingredients were super fresh and everything was well-seasoned in my opinion — my fiancé felt the catfish could’ve used a bit more seasoning (he’s a big fan of Aunt Irene’s heavily seasoned style), but agreed the quality and freshness were on point. For drinks, I went with a refreshing mocktail made with coconut water, guava, and lime, while my fiancé grabbed a coke from the self-serve soda fountain — a nice, casual touch. From the moment we walked in, the experience was seamless. We were greeted and seated immediately, and our waitress Ashley was friendly, attentive, and great at guiding us through the menu. Food came out quickly and arrived hot and fresh. Would definitely come back — highly recommend if you’re looking for a solid seafood spot!

After a busy day, hubby was in the mood for something different. So we decided to try Tricky Fish. We were very fortunate to find parking spaces right in front of Tricky Fish. Of note, street parking has a two-hour time limit. Staff greeted us upon entry and were very friendly. There were Mardi Gras decorations throughout the restaurant. Overall, every dish we tried was flavorful with good portion sizes. My favorite was the crabcake slaw, hubby really loved his etouffee, and our daughter coveted the crabcakes. Hubby ordered the apple cheesecake and thought it was pretty yummy.

Kenneth was incredibly kind and knowledgeable when I called in about my dairy allergy and what could be accommodated for a to go order through Uber Eats. He even said he’d go to the kitchen to make sure they understood the requirements for our dish. Lovely presentation for being delivered from Richardson to Wylie - still nice and fresh.

A friend and I came here at lunch time. We shared the green tomatoes appetizer and she had the crab cake which came with a spicy coleslaw and I had the shrimp & crab cream soup. The meal was very good. We hadn’t seen each other in a long time and had much to visit about so it was a bit noisy with the music. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated and some people were even eating outside! The waitress was very attentive & checked back often. Not so much to be a pest but often enough to be conscientious about our needs. The only problem that I brought up to the waitress is my water came with a straw in it. I explained she should check with her Manager but the Staff should check with the customer before putting straws in drinks. Plastic straws do not decompose in landfills and when the huge pile of garbage goes out into the ocean the sealife may think it’s food and try to eat it. The straws can harm the sealife or even kill them. Businesses need to look into straws that degenerate so they don’t hurt the Earth. And the first thing businesses need to do is have Staff ask customers if they want a straw. It will save the business money on their bottom line.

Stumbled upon this place a year ago and have not stopped thinking about it since. came back this year and it still lives up to exactly as i remembered it. THE BEST calamari I’ve ever had, amazing crawfish etouffee and outstanding dirty rice. We somehow got the last slice of the Apple Cobbler Cheesecake, and guess what? it was unbelievable.

I picked up an order of fish and chips last night along with a side salad, and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted at the door by a very friendly staff member, he happened to be wearing I think it was TCU gear, which made him easy to spot. He directed me right to the pickup counter, where another staff member handed me my order. That staff member took a moment to compliment my Texas Rangers hat, which was a nice personal touch. The order was prepared correctly, everything was hot, and the food tasted great. The fish and chips were crispy and flavorful, and my wife really enjoyed the fresh side salad. They also included extra tartar sauce without me having to ask, which was much appreciated. This was my third visit (first time for carry out), and every time I’ve come here the service has been consistently welcoming and the food has been on point. Bartenders have been excellent as well. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great seafood and great service.

Glad to get here for my birthday girl. We have been to other locations but they are closed now. Next closet one is in Ft Worth area. Great food and service. Large portions so come hungry or think leftovers. We lucked out and got shaded street parking but there is parking garage next door. Our first drink preference was no-go as lacked certain rum brand so got next choice which was super. Save room for the key lime pie with blueberry compote. Very yummy!!!

I found this little gem about a year ago. I love the food, the atmosphere, and the staff. The staff is very friendly and very accommodating. I was indecisive on one visit, and the manager made it so that I could have both things without having to purchase two meals. They didn't even charge me for it the first few times, so I just have an extra large tip.☺️ Once they began charge to charge for it, it still wasn't much. My most recent visit was a double date night with friends. Everything was mostly great, as usual. There was just a minor issue with the shrimp being fried too hard, but that usually doesn't happen. I definitely recommend this place. I always take family and friends here when they come to visit. They have all loved it as well.

First time visit. This place is destined to become a favorite. Creative cocktails. Unpretentious environment. The food was outstanding! The seafood was fresh, cooked perfectly, came out quickly, and tasted amazing. I like that you can choose your protein to go with your choice of 4 signature dishes. Or you can choose from a nice list of other entrees. My first impression couldn't have been better. I'll have to see if the rest of the menu is as impressive as the warm wilted spinach salad with blackened red fish.

This place was awesome. The vibe was really cool. My only complaint is that our server wasn’t masked but she Ecuador m eventually noticed my discomfort cause she soon gave me a wider girth during our interactions. The shrimp bisque was the best thing on the menu. The fried green tomatoes were good but slightly overcooked. The tacos were not as good as before. The chicken sandwich was large but they skimped on the slaw so that crunchy texture was missing. Overall had a good time and would return.

In town on business. Decided to check this place. A little skeptical at first, not knowing how fresh their seafood was? Good local beers on tap, broad menu, kind of Southern, kind of Cajun. The Shrimp and Grits really impressed me. I'm from Miami, cook lots of grits and between the blackened shrimp (lots), excellent creamy and cheesy grits, topped with a very interesting chunky creole tomato sauce on top, it made my night!

Cortney Pyatt

Great variety and reasonable prices. I’ve tried the fish and chips, mac and cheese, and I absolutely love the okra—definitely a standout. From the brunch menu, I’ve had the shrimp and oyster grits, which were pretty solid as well.

Love this restaurant and food is always solid and consistent. I’ve never had a bad fish & chip experience and I love the fried shrimp and calamari too! The fried catfish definitely doesn’t please but the grilled cat fish is recommended!

Food was well prepared. Service was excellent. Mule flight was 🔥 🔥 🔥 especially the Jalapeño! Also had the fried green tomatoes but didn’t get a pic. Delicious! The Thai wings were good but could use more sauce or rub. Still very appetizing and well cooked. The hot chicken sandwich is definitely sized for 2. It’s humongous! The vibe is great for a date night or evening with friends. Will return.

We went for lunch on a Wednesday. Not crowded. The person I assume was the manager was great. All of the rest was a solid ok - not good enough to tempt me to want to eat there again, but not bad enough to say I would never eat there again. The atmosphere was generic or leaned more BBQ joint than seafood. They had generic sodas (?) and one name brand - Dr. Pepper (not Diet DP tho). We ordered 3 items and of the three, we’d recommend the fish tacos. They were the best I have ever had. The gumbo and fish/chips were fine, but the fish tacos were amazing. Seemed kind of pricey for the experience.

First time customer! Was looking for casual seafood dining and decided to give this place a try. Interior: Rustic Industrial. Meal: Shrimp was tasty, however the cabbage coleslaw mix did not have sauce on it, hence it was dry. Ended up putting hot sauce on the tacos for flavor and wetness. Parking: Two hour parking spots available in front of restaurant. The place was fairly empty so the meal came out pretty quickly. Would recommend for a quick meal in a nice setting. Fall/Spring time would be great as well because there’s outdoor sitting.s

The food we received was good. There was like music which was nice. If Sara R is your server, request someone else. She provided the absolute worst service I have ever had. We sat for 15 minutes waiting on drinks before she realized she never put them in. Then she wasn't going to take our order, she was prepared to drop drinks and head back to social hour at the wait station. 🙄 When we ordered, she told us one of our dishes was unavailable and suggested another. Another 15 goes by and a different server brings out our food with the missing substitution. When we asked for it she said they don't have that either. She walked over and informed our server. Sara never came back until we were served a drink we didn't order. She acted like she didn't know what else to do with it. So, long story short we got some of what we ordered and paid for some we didn't. What a nightmare experience.

I visited Tricky Fish for the first time on February 21, 2026 upon recommendations. It was early evening and not crowded. I seated myself at the bar and proceeded to wait for the bartender (Junior) to finish a conversation with another employee to come over and welcome me. It took at least 3-5 minutes for that to happen. I ordered a cocktail and it was very good. We were off to a good start. I knew I wanted crawfish and asked Junior a question about the level of the spice of the seasoning. He replied "I don't know" and did not offer any other recommendations or advice. I ordered the crawfish boil, which comes with potatoes and sausage, coleslaw and hushpuppies. Within a reasonable amount of time the crawfish arrived. The crawfish were of a nice size, but were overcooked and slightly mushy. Not all were terrible and I didn't complain. I searched the dish for the sausage and found two very small thin pieces of it. I wish I had taken a picture! At that point I realized I didn't get coleslaw and had to ask for it. I had not been asked how things were at that point or would I be at any point during my meal. I also realized I didn't get hushpuppies and asked another bartender about those. He put the order in, but they didn't arrive until I was finished with my meal. The hostess brought the hushpuppies over and said "since you had to wait these are on us"....they were included with the meal! At one point I looked over at the other bartender and noticed him taking a shot of brown liquor before making a drink. Not at any point did Junior or any other employee ask how my meal was or if I needed anything else. I was so disappointed. I love crawfish and I should have sent them back! I'm not sure if I can give them a second chance.
