We went to the Flying Fish tonight and ate off the happy hour menu. We had sushi, oysters and shrimp. Lorraine also had the wedge salad. Everything was great along with the service we received in the bar area. Very good deal for an early dinner.

Glad you enjoyed The Flying Fish. We also like going there for Happy Hour. Food and service has always been good and we love the fun atmosphere as it always seems lively with all having a good time.

Just went to Flying Fish happy hour (which is from 4-8pm Labor Day - March 30th) What a find ! With the weather so bad, the bar had plenty of seats and the servers were phenomenal. I think we tried everything at least once…. Oysters on the half-shell were small, but delicious and clean. Tuna sushi was also excellent (ended up with 2 orders). Cheese shrimp dip with freshly fried tortilla chips is also a winner with plenty of whole shrimp which are small enough to easily fit on a chip. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender with a solid BBQ sauce on the side. Fried Green tomatoes topped with grits and shrimp were also over the top. (though the menu said the shrimp were blackened, they weren't…. But didn't make any difference). I had 2 beers which were I think $3 for local pints. Jan had a Long Island iced tea which I wouldn't recommend since it is made from a pre-made mix versus combining all the liquors. Jan also tried a sip of Sangria and said it was too sweet.

Definitely 5 star happy hour.

We arrived to Flying Fish a little after 5pm. I was bracing myself for a wait but there wasn't any. We were seated upstairs. The upstairs room was pretty full - we took the last table available. We were seated right by the server station. It wasn't the most ideal spot because we felt like we were in the way. It was a bit cramped and got pretty hectic when the servers were trying to put in their orders. Our server was friendly and welcoming. As soon as the complimentary mahi mahi dip hit the table, I dug in! My parents aren't too fond of it. Oh well - more for me! I had a couple of bites and decided to save the rest for lunch the next day. We ordered a hush puppies appetizer. They came out cooked to perfection, steaming hot and crispy. For our entrees, my parents chose the "Build Your Own Boil" - 1 1/4 pound snow crab (2 clusters), red skinned potatoes, yellow corn, pecan smoked sausage, all topped with Old Bay. I opted for the Classic Chicken Sandwich, which was grilled chicken breast, BBQ sauce, Applewood bacon, cheddar cheese, fried onions, lettuce, tomato, with fries, coleslaw and a pickle. Our food was great, as always! We've never had a bad meal here, or bad service. This restaurant stayed crowded consistently and it's easy to see why!

The pictures are great in all of your reviews, but the food ones... yum! Thanks.

Thank you! I realized I just posted my review in the wrong thread! This was meant to go to Mr. Fish, not Flying Fish. Oops!

Flying Fish - Barefoot Landing, 4744 Highway 17 South, North Myrtle Beach, SC 29582 - http://www.flyingfishmarket.com/

This is one of our favorite places to eat in Myrtle Beach.

My parents and I arrived a little after 6pm on a Thursday. We were promptly seated upstairs. There were only a few tables open, so the upstairs was packed! The bar area downstairs was as well. As soon as we sat down we were given the complimentary smoked Mahi Mahi dip and crackers by our server. It's so good! We also ordered a basket off hushpuppies and fried pickles for an appetizer. Both were great! Both of my parents ordered the Snow Crab clusters with a side of coleslaw and potatoes. The crab was delicious, as always. I ordered the Honey-Apple BBQ Chicken (applewood smoked bacon, honey-apple BBQ sauce, smoked gouda) with Chef's rice and green beans. I didn't care too much for the green beans, but I enjoyed the rice and chicken. I was given two chicken breasts, so I saved one for the next day. The service was great and our server check in with us frequently.

If you love seafood, this is the restaurant for you!
