What Makes Our Mac & Cheese so Great?!

Since we opened our doors at Tricky Fish in 2016, the Tillamook Macaroni & Cheese has graced our menu and been met with the applause of many. We love that guests return time and time again and order this delectable comfort food. But why the popularity? What makes it so great? Here are a few thoughts on the matter…

It’s Tillamook After All.

Let’s face it. Tillamook is delicious. It’s stellar cheese, and it’s why we use it in our mac and cheese. Its creaminess when in melts and the pure intensity of the cheddar are both reasons why we love the flavor and texture it adds to our dish. Many customers rave that the creaminess of the dish is perfect, plus we add a little grated cheese on top to caramelize. Frankly, you had me at Tillamook. 

Cavatappi Pasta.

There is something about the noddle shape that can enhance a dish, and we definitely think this is true with our mac and cheese. We use cavatappi pasta; those fun, cylindrical corkscrew noodles that somehow find a way to lock-in all the flavors of the cheese. Plus – they are just fun to eat. 

Protein Optional.

Whether you are ordering our Tillamook Mac and Cheese on the side or as a full order, you have the choice of adding in protein. Many elect to add grilled chicken on top…or maybe you’re more of the grilled shrimp type. Either way, it’s absolutely delicious.

Make it a Pasta Night at Tricky Fish!

With this chilly North Texas weather we’ve been having, it’s the perfect time to join Tricky Fish for a pasta night. Pasta, salad, and a glass of vino – sounds pretty tempting. Here are some of our customer favorites for your next pasta night at Tricky Fish in Richardson or Fort Worth:

Tillamook Macaroni & Cheese

This is one dish our customers rave about! Mac and cheese is comfort food straight from our childhood, but ours is creamier, with the perfect cheddary bite thanks to the addition of Tillamook cheddar cheese. Order it plain, or add grilled shrimp or grilled chicken for a complete meal.

This can also be ordered as a side dish to accompany any of our other Cajun favorites – fish and chips, blackened salmon, or grilled redfish – just to name a few.

Shrimp Linguine

Creamy pasta with shrimp – does it get much better?! Our shrimp linguine is cooked al dente, then prepared with plump shrimp, roasted tomatoes, onions, Parmesan cheese, and green onions, all wrapped in a Bourbon sherry cream sauce.

Caesar Salad

Our salads are the perfect accompaniment to any of our pasta dishes! Our Caesar salad is set apart with its grilled Romaine lettuce, perfectly charred, then topped with roasted tomatoes, croutons, and our house Caesar dressing. You can also add grilled chicken, shrimp, or salmon if you’d like a little protein in it.

Drink Specials and Wine Selections Galore

Pick your poison: red, white, sparkling…Tricky Fish has a perfectly curated list of wines that you are sure to love. And if you come on Wednesdays, the wine is half price!

Of course, if wine isn’t your thing, check out our full bar menu, chock full of seasonal cocktails and craft beer as well.
