You don’t have to drive all the way to Louisiana to experience the best of Cajun cooking. Tricky Fish has a rich history in Southern fare, rooted in simple, fresh ingredients prepared the way your Mimi would cook ‘em.
When you’re got an itch for the best Cajun food in Richardson or Fort Worth, then head over to Tricky Fish! Here are 4 dishes that won’t let you down:
1. Kitchen Sink Gumbo
Few things say Cajun cookin’ like a hot bowl of gumbo! Recipes vary from kitchen-to-kitchen, but our motto is “more is better,” so ours is jam-packed with shrimp, fish, chicken, and spicy Andouille sausage that won’t disappoint. Served over a bed of rice, this dish is perfect as a stand-alone meal or on the side. (Hint: Feeling hangry? Order a Fried Platter and craft beer with the gumbo and you’ll be in heaven.)
2. Crawfish Étouffée
Now we’re talking! Our Crawfish Étouffée is gumbo’s thicker cousin, perfect on its own or poured over a perfectly cooked piece of fish (ahem - try the Tricky Fish!). It’s always served with our famous dirty rice, and beware, it’s finger-ticking good!
3. Po’Boy Sandwiches
You’ll feel like you’re rambling around the French Quarter as you enjoy one of our po’boy sandwiches! We start with a fresh French loaf, then stack it with all the good stuff: lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion, and your choice of meat and sauce. The fried shrimp and fried catfish po’boys are classic and delicious, complete with fresh tartar sauce. The fried oyster po’boy gets a savory twist with our homemade bacon jam – yum! And horseradish cream and provolone complete the perfect roast beef po’boy! These are perfect for lunch or dinner food in Richardson or Fort Worth.
Gulf Oysters on the Half Shell
Those who love oysters know they get the best ones in town at Tricky Fish! No matter what time of year you visit us, you can rest assured that our raw gulf oysters on the half shell are fresh every time. We use Gold Band Oysters, perfectly prepared with a proprietary high-pressure technique that reduces any possible harmful bacteria in the oysters to non-detectable levels! The process has no effect on flavor or texture, leaving you with the freshest, best tasting oysters. Pass the hot sauce and lemon please!
