Flying Fish (Addison, TX)

I tried to talk myself out of eating out but my hush puppy craving got the best of me. I should have kept on driving but I found myself parked in front of the Flying Fish in Addison instead. Inside, it looked like a fun place, casual with upbeat music and patio seating. A few minutes later I sat down with my tray full of food. The first thing I noticed was that the chilled shrimp still had shells. A drawback but definitely not a turn off. Once peeled, I squeezed some lime on the little guy and down he went. Not so bad. Not until I got to shrimp #4, which tasted bitter and rancid. That was the end of the shrimp. I then moved on to my corn on the cob. It took one bite of soggy, overcooked corn until I moved on to the tasteless, watered down cole slaw. What a disappointment. No sweat though...I still had my hush puppies....or should we call them salty jawbreakers. They were small, hard and dry. Not at all like the hush puppy I had dreamt of while pulling into the parking lot. Nope....this place had nothing going for it. My opinion? If you are unable to properly train your staff and enforce some form of quality control, then you should not be in the food business. This food outing was a waste of my time, energy, and daily caloric intake.
Verdict: Not To Eat
