Flying Fish — Restaurant in Dallas

My wife and I switched to a Ketogenic diet in August 2020. The pandemic allowed us to be very careful in our food choices. In the months to follow, I researched restaurants which would be capable of satisfying those on Keto and Flying Fish was one of the first I found.

Having been fully vaccinated, my wife and I made a visit to the Flying Fish on Wharf Road (Cypruss Waters) and were completely satisfied.

The seafood was fresh, deliciously prepared. My wife had grilled snapper (snappy) and extra grilled veggies (no rice & beans). I had the protein platter with grilled snapper (extra snappy), dozen oysters, and grilled veggies. We also had a dozen boiled shrimp.

The oysters...the best I have ever tasted. Having lived on the Texas Coast, I am very familiar with oysters, particularly the ones that need a bit more Tabasco or cocktail/horseradish to consume. My wife even ate three for the first time ever and was surprised by how enjoyable they were. I figure the oysters are farmed, but I am ok with that. It was such a nice surprise tasting the freshness.

The snapper was well-prepared. I like lots of seasoning and had my fish prepared extra-snappy. I think next time I will order the fish snappy because my wife's filet looked even better than mine.

The dozen boiled shrimp were perfectly prepared and served on a bed of ice with cocktail sauce.

The patio is on the east side of the building facing the lake, so it will always be in the shade in the late afternoon. Outside seating is wonderful and relaxing.

Good food, great service! I wandered into this part of town thinking I was headed for a burger, but changed course when I saw an option for some decent river- and seafood. I’m glad I detoured!

I walked in and up to the counter where I was warmly greeted by a young man. Telling him it was my first visit and what I wanted, he suggested an oyster basket with a catfish filet on the side. My pager went off relatively quickly, and there I was, staring at a basket of 8-10 fairly large lightly cornmeal-breaded oysters and a decent sized catfish filet. The meal came with fries and two hushpuppies in the side, and I dove in with great enthusiasm. The oysters were delightful, and the catfish every bit as good as if I’d cooked it at home in middle Tennessee, where we know a few things about catfish.

I was just about done with my meal and thinking about a piece of Key lime Pie when the young man who took my order came by with a bowl of gumbo. “Since it’s your first time here,” he said “enjoy this bowl of gumbo on the house.”

The gumbo may be the most authentic item on the menu, and obviously comes from the hands of someone who knows how to make a proper roux. It was thick, rich, & delicious.

Other things to note: Wednesday’s are “All you can eat catfish” for $17.95. You can bring in your old Billy the Singing Bass wall trophy and they’ll add it to their collection. They’ve got a decent selection of Texas craft beer by the bottle & can, as well as your standard semi-domestic draft offerings (Miller Lite, Shiner Bock, Blue Moon, & Modelo).

On the whole, it was a delightfully surprising and enjoyable experience. Give it a shot when you’re thinking about a goat burger but decide to take...
