Hook Line & Sinker, Dallas

At Hook Line & Sinker, every bite of fried catfish, and every morsel of hot boiled shrimp bursts with the freshness and flavor of the Gulf. The colorful shack-like restaurant has been bringing the sea's briny bounty to hungry patrons for nearly two decades, dishing out catfish, boiled snow crab, and salmon paired with sides like hush puppies and fried okra. Other familiar staples include bowls of seafood gumbo, and po' boys with shrimp and oysters, all washed down with a lineup of domestic and imported longnecks and lime and strawberry margaritas.
