Why Po’Boys Make the Perfect Lunch.

best po'boys for lunch tricky fish fort worth and richardson texas

When is the last time you had a po’boy sandwich?

 

Yep – it’s been too long.

 

You know where you can get one…. Tricky Fish of course! Po’boys are an often forgotten – but absolutely perfect lunch – and here are a few reasons why it’s time to add them back into your regular lunch rotation:

 

Handheld Meal

Legend has it the po’boy was originated as a “meal” given to “poor boys” who were on strike from the railroad, and one of the original draws was that it was a complete meal in a compact, handheld package. And even today, what’s not to love about meat, cheese, veggies, and bread all rolled into a perfectly delicious package?! We serve ours with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and sauce with fries or slaw on the side.

 

Variety

Not all po’boys are created equal. At Tricky Fish, we offer a variety of po’boys to keep it interesting. You can have a fried seafood po’boy with shrimp, oysters, or catfish – or a blackened po’boy with catfish or chicken. We also offer a more non-traditional variety with roast beef, provolone, and horseradish sauce. Each has its place and you’d be wise to change it up and try them all!

 

Cajun Food in Texas

No, we aren’t on the Gulf coast, but Tricky Fish’s po’boys bring the flavors of the Gulf to you in North Texas! Our roots are southern, and we take old recipes from Louisiana – many with Cajun and Creole roots – and give them a new twist. For example, you probably wouldn’t find bacon jam on the original fried oyster po’boys of New Orleans, but it’s a fantastic addition to our Fried Oyster B.L.T. po’boy.

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. 

 

Pairs Well With Cocktails or Wine

 

Tricky Fish is known for our craft cocktails and stellar wine selection, and many of your favorites pair well with our macaroni and cheese. Simply order your favorite and enjoy!
