I got the blackened crawfish Po boy and sweet potato fries . Fresh slaw , lettuce, tomatoes and pickles on bun . Divine. It isn't cheap but worth every single cent.

Alex Pyatetsky

Make no mistake, this is an important establishment. For $20 you get a big, fresh, excellently blackened fish fillet + giant salad . PLUS open late ! Red fish good, salmon wild. Will work through menu.

Lauren Mac

This place isn't cheap , but the surf is worth it (SEA BASS , so divine). Fun arcade games and shuffleboard in house, attached to a bar makes it cozy , too.

Ryan Joy

Great seafood and fresh ingredients (no, it's not inexpensive . Yes, it's worth it.) This was originally a food trailer that kept having to move around downtown. So happy they have a permanent home.

Serious Eats

The po' boys different than what you'll eat in New Orleans. No shredded iceberg lettuce here-- instead, expertly fried seafood is topped with mixed salad greens and red onion .

Begüm Bürian

The only place I went twice in 2 weeks in Austin. Blackened chicken tacos and the blackened catfish poboy were heavenly!

Benton Peret

It's all good, large portions and consistent. I get the salads , always nice mixed greens, some red onion and fresh tomato . Can't go wrong with good meat and veg !

Krystal Smith

Red snapper blackened fish tacos , bacon and jalapeño wrapped shrimp po boy , sweet potato frys, and jalapeño hush puppies are fabulous!! Yummehhh!

Ines Obtinalla

Ahi tuna tacos are so good! Ask for the fish to be blackened to give it a spicier taste. Also get a side of jalapeño hushpuppies . Big portions .

Juan Pérez

All the guys that work there are nuts but in the best way possible. Comparing against other ATX places food wasn't cheap , but still reasonable and absolutely delicious. Shrimp po'boy!

Sharick Crummell

First time eating here and I got the Oyster PoBoy ... Most delicious PoBoy I've ever had. Great food Great People, will defiantly be returning

Alex Pyatetsky

Eating through the me menu. Current rankings (all blackened) 1) Salmon 2) Mahi 3) redfish . I love this place.

KitchenAid

This place has some of the best fish tacos in Austin, and the prices are incredibly reasonable. You can also opt to get the seafood in Po' Boy form, which are equally tasty.

Josh Martin

I was initially taken back at 2 tacos for $18-20, but the tacos are huge! I went with Ribeye and it was great.

Rafi Syed

Perfect blackened fish ; new discovery, they don't mind if you bring in six packs or wine from the liquor store down the block

Shikha Kaiwar

Blackened catfish tacos = best fish tacos I've ever had. This place is small but mighty and freaking delicious. Also try seared ahi tuna tacos !

Sam 

These are the best tacos I have ever had in my life. And I eat tacos all the time.

Vinay Bhat

Their Guac Boy is amazing, and so is their fish . I'd say they serve the best fish in Austin!!

Pam ☕️ O

Grilled grouper fillet served with a spring mix salad hit the spot for a late night dinner downtown.

Brett Grobarz

Blackened chicken Po Boy , side of sweet potato fries . Sandwich is messy but well worth the sloppiness!

Stephen H

Local favorite and I can see why. Try the Blackened Ribeye . Make sure your belly is empty.

Rosalyn Rojmar

Blackened "Naughty cat" tacos with jalepeno hush puppies is a can't miss. Enough for 2 people.

Michael Muse

The crawfish taco and the catfish taco are amazing, but the blackened ahi tuna is in a league of its own

Steve

The best sandwiches I've ever eaten. Known for seafood , but the kick yo daddy (buffalo steak ) is bomb, too.

Natalia Ivanytsky

Fried oyster poboy & cilantro fries . Be warned: portions are huge and one sandwich is good for two!

Elissa Shevinsky

For SXSW 2012 - the fresh wild-caught Mahi-Mahi is fantastic. I had it blackened, on tacos .

Jessica

Grilled cod was pretty fantastic; would definitely come again! So good, so full!

James Michael

Probably the best and most filling fish taco I've ever had. I vote blackened mahi-mahi. Bravo!

Amazing and huge fish tacos ! Two to an order, but they'll usually sell you only one for half price if it's too much food.
