The food looks good but it’s missing flavor in my opinion. The people who work there are really sweet and very helpful. Maybe I just went on a bad day but it wasn’t my fav

Great food, but the noise level is tremendous. Staff seems overwhelmed and distant at times. Good food, but recommend getting it to go.

my wife and I are long time customers of this location. Lately we have noticed the decline in food quality and preparation. We are writing this review, because we would hate to see what we deemed one of the best medium priced seafood spots in Plano go down the tubes. The cat fish taste old and the batter and seasoning was not at all good. We would like to continue our patronage at the restaurant, but when I called to offer our concerns, I needed to hear more than "Im sorry for your experience" Disappointed!!

Bf and I came here for a date night as he has been here before and highly recommended it.
I immediately noticed how crowded it was. Definitely a neighborhood local favorite on a Friday night, which is always a promising sign.
Menu was diverse and seemed overall quite affordable. You could get many kinds of seafood cooked in practically any way you could imagine with large portion sizes.
Bf got a plate with catfish and butterfly shrimp and I got a plate with cod. We split a side plate of fried okra. The okra was above average I would say, and we finished our plate of it. The fries were alright but nothing special, and I’d say the seafood was great. I enjoyed the shrimp I tried off of my bf’s plate more than the cod, but it was all cooked well and portioned generously. The sauce it came with was tangy and paired well with the seafood. Additionally, the coke I was given was absolutely massive and easily 3x what you would get for the same price elsewhere.
I’d for sure recommend this place. Just be aware that it’s on the small side and parking/tables are limited!

I’ve read some of the reviews about the fish shack and I really think that a lot of restaurants need more than one chance to get an honest review. I probably eaten at the fish shack over 50 times. I will admit that the size of the fish and the quantity of the items flexes overtime sometimes I get excellent, and sometimes I didn’t get the best fish piece…but that’s the way it is with most restaurants…..nothing profound there just an observation. I have eaten quite a bit of catfish that’s been fried and I prefer this place because the catfish is battered correctly, cooked correctly, and is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside which everybody wants I usually get the catfish and shrimp basket with fries ….sometimes I get coleslaw or something else, I had one person tell me one time that their fries are like country boy fries are the big thick steak fries are excellent. The shrimp is butterflied and fried and just as good as any shrimp I’ve ever had and much better than your average catfish and shrimp platter. I believe they used to come with hush puppies but sometimes they don’t. I don’t know what drives that. Anyway, I highly recommend this place. I eat there at least once a month… oh, and they do have a sculpin Ipa from Ballast Point that’s really good with fried seafood. It’s just extra step they take to have this available to enjoy with their food.
