We visit this location about once a month, thanks to the buy one get one free (up to $14.95) coupon that comes in our Valpak! We have been for lunch and dinner, the service is always quick, the food comes out hot (or cold), as ordered, every time. The restaurant is clean, there are tons of condiments on each table and we love the billy bass decor! We tend to spend a bit more to get the entrees we want. Yesterday, my partner ordered the shrimp and crab plate and I ordered the lobster rolls with onion rings instead of french fries. The shrimp and crab plate came with about 8-12 shrimp and about a pound of crab legs. Seafood seasoning was sprinkled on top of the seafood as well as the corn on the cob and two whole red potatoes included with the meal. The lobster rolls came on toasted bread with a good ratio of lobster filling to bread in every bite. I also like that you can make your own cocktail sauce. They have premade cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, and ketchup in large self serve containers, but they also have fresh horseradish if you want it more of less spicy than their mixture. This is our favorite location, right by the mall!

My wife loves this place When you walk in, the decorations may seem kind of Cheesy Decorations, simple Green Booths or tables with checkered table cloths and metal chairs don’t leave the food is out standing. The Blues playing in the background is great, sometimes a little loud. My wife’s go to order is always the 3 piece catfish with a generous amount of fries. I usually go for the Shrimp Poor Boy and fries. The food is prepared in a reasonable amount of time and then the Buzzer goes off to come pick your order up, No Table Service. So you do have to plan on getting your own Cocktail, Tarter Sauce or any other additions your self. They do offer an array of sauces with a basket of crackers at the tables. If your expecting fine dining, this is not the location. If your wanting great Fried Catfish or other Seafood then your at the right place enjoy your visit. Here is a couple of tips: Sign up for the email club Free dinner for signing then monthly coupons. Get their frequent punch card also for free dinners.

**EDIT** After contact the "owner at the number they provided me, I still haven't heard anything. Let me preface this by saying I love the flying fish! I've never had a bad meal there until tonight. Typically I do eat in at the location whether it be Garland or Plano, but tonight I was picking some up to bring home to me and my family. They need to update their workers on how to package food for to go orders, because when I got home they had placed a box on top of the tub of rice on top of the gumbo. This made the lid of the gumbo cave in and the gumbo spilled out all throughout the bag as well as all over my leather seats. As I was going to have the gumbo for dinner, I was left with no food to eat because the big platter order was divided between three other people. There was literally nothing to spare and so I paid for food I couldn't eat and delivered food for others and it cost me money. Very disappointed, this is not what I expect from this location or this chain.

Foods great, shrimp coctails are fantastic. As an individual based in Wylie, TX, you might be interested in exploring local dining options. The Flying Fish is a popular seafood restaurant, and I would like to share my opinion on this establishment with you.

The adventurous family drove around looking to try something new for an early dinner. Having 3 young boys who worship at the altar of the chicken nugget, it's hard to try seafood. Well the good thing is I have the wallet executive power so fish it was for this motley crew. This establishment is located in a strip mall so parking might be difficult at times. Entering you stand in line to place your order. As you walk in, dancing fish are located all over with pictures of people who caught big fish. We needed to get the boys out of the way so burgers it was for the two. Mom likes Mexican style shrimp cocktail so that order was placed. I've been wanting Cajun so jambalaya was ordered with some calamari to begin our deep sea dive. The establishment has open areas good for large parties. The bathrooms rooms are located on the opposite side of the building and they are well taken care off. As you walk all over, those fish are looking at you. The kids meals arrive in a friendly cool boat container. The calamari was brought next yet it's a tradition set up not fresh tasting. One of the two boys did NOT eat the burger because "it tasted bad." According to mom, The shrimp cocktail tasted like if it had been sitting for a while and well no bueno. Finally, the jambalaya had a generic taste with no Cajun kick. If you are selling Cajun, give me the flavor you're faking the funk. The meal was $54 and well a miss yet well try...

We sat at a table for two. There was barely room for our food because of the plethora of hot sauce bottles on the table. I probably should have seen this as a warning sign.We started our meal with fried calamari. There was way too much pepper in the batter, couldn't really taste the calamari however the texture was perfect. Nice crispy breading with tender calamari. I ordered the catfish poboy. It was loaded with raw onions, about 6 huge slices of onion and only one tiny slice of tomato and maybe two pickles. The bread was excellent. The catfish was kinda mealy and overall the poboy was not so great. Even eating the fries and hush puppies was a little rough with the awful smell of those onions wafting up. The fries were standard, the hush puppies were on the greasy side, like maybe the oil wasn't hot enough when they were dropped in. My wife got the grilled red snapper. The snapper was tasteless, dry and way over done. The grilled squash and zucchini tasted slightly of lighter fluid. The rice and beans were tasty, probably the best part of the meal. Before we left my wife went to the restroom. The bathroom floor was covered in water and when she flushed the toilet water came pouring out from the bottom of the toilet. They obviously knew that there was a problem as they had a rag behind the toilet, apparently to stem the tide. We won't be...
