Louisiana Fish House — Restaurant in Texas

When we first pulled up I didn't expect much, I knew to keep my expectations somewhat tempered when it came to seafood and Cajun food especially, but believe me when I tell you that this is the best seafood and Cajun food I've had.

We got the catfish tacos, stuffed peppers, shrimp alfredo, crawfish etouffee and a cup of shrimp gumbo.

Every single bite was hot, fresh and absolutely bursting with flavor. We didn't even end up using the hot sauce on the table (although it was also absolutely perfect, vinegary and spicy)

The shrimp in the gumbo and alfredo were juicy and soft, the ones in the alfredo smoky and grilled perfect while the ones in the gumbo were fall apart in your mouth in the good way while retaining that signature shrimp taste

The catfish in the tacos was unbelievably tender, the fried breading bringing out the mellowness of the fish without overpowering it at all, while at the same time being delicately complimented by the pico, red cabbage and their to die for sauce.

I got hushpuppies and jambalaya as my two sides with it, and the hushpupies took me back to my childhood when I would go with my dad to a little hole in the wall and get hushpuppies to celebrate good grades. I teared up a little when eating them, as my dad passed some years ago, and it was almost like being with him again.

The jambalaya rice was fluffy, hot and full of the punch and spice one craves when thinking of jambalaya. If I hadn't already had gumbo and etouffee at that point, I would've eaten all of it and not left any for my partner!

The stuffed peppers were these giant jalapeno poppers, and when they came out they were the perfect temperature. You know that moment in The Good Place where Jason is talking about the moment he knew he was ready? This felt like that.

And last but under no circumstances least, the staff. I wish I remembered their names, but the women at front of house were the kindest, friendliest, most wonderful people. We ordered a lot of food, and they made sure we got every single plate hot, fresh and with two utensils so we not only both could try, but so there was no cross between flavors! Bantering with them was one of the many highlights of the meal, and they will stay in my mind for months if not years to come. My hat off to the chefs as well, every single dish was beyond delicious, and I hope this place stays...

It pains me to write this review because the place seems nice but I can't let people think that the oyster poboy I had was an authentic New Orleans style poboy. First, I raised in New Orleans and I decided to give this place a try because of the high reviews. I asked that the oysters to be fried hard that didn't mean flat. The batter was panko which is a NO NO. They could have been fried in fish batter at least. Next, there was roumalde in place of mayo. A dressed poboy means mayo, lettuce, tomato and pickles. Now the roumalde could have be on side but not on the poboy. To top it off and the most important is the bread. FRENCH BREAD. The bread was bobilio or mexican bread. Who does this to a poboy. It was flat and chewy. This was no way by far a traditional poboby and it looked like there was some kind if slaw on it instead of lettuce. I make poboys at home waaaaaayyy better than this and I've been in Houston for 23 years...smh...This was a disgrace. They need to do some research and revamp the menu. I can send pictures of what it should look like compared to what I got or better yet, look at Papadeaux's, BB's poboys and a few others in the city. I guess those who dont know what a poboy look or taste like wouldn't know better but I assure you , this was not it by a long shot. Very disappointed...

This place is in one of those strip shopping centers that you'd probably avoid. And when we pulled up about 7:30 on a Tues night, there wasn't a car anywhere near this business or people inside, so two strikes right off the bat. I could not have been any more wrong with my assumptions. Firstly, this place is clean as a whistle, no grease smell, no fish smell, floors, tables, and chairs impressively clean. It was an immeadiate and welcome surprise. The manager(?) was straightening and cleaning at the time, and pleasantly, and professionally welcomed us in. He quickly washed his hands and helped us. Just a super nice, helpful, polite guy. My previous assumptions did not expect this kind of professionalism or apt service. His name was Gerald or George, don't know his apron obscured his name. But you can tell this is the guy you want running your restaurant. The wait wasn't long and our food was great, hot, and fresh. Excellent catfish, and shrimp, really good oysters, fries, coleslaw, and hushpuppies. We briefly chatted with the manager about how good the food was, and how clean the place was. We assumed it had been remodeled, but no, they just run a tight ship. More people need to know about this place, diamond in the rough. Solid...
