Roanoke is building up its reputation as a Denton County dining destination, and now it has a new sushi spot: One Fish Two Fish. This bright-and-shiny restaurant on U.S. 377 has an impressive roster of sushi combos and rolls, but it’s not simply a sushi spot. There are fried catfish and Gulf Coast seafood dishes — oyster po-boys and the like — for diners who like their seafood cooked.</p><p>The menu runs from blackened salmon and gumbo to shrimp tempura and chicken teriyaki, with the most expensive entree coming in at $18, for salmon teriyaki. Most dishes run between $8 and $12, making this a very affordable place to eat fish.</p><p>The One Fish Two Fish basket ($16.89) provided a sampler of items, lightly fried, with an onion-flavored coleslaw and your choice of either moist rice or garlicky mashed potatoes, which were the real deal. Fried shrimp was crunchy and delectable. Fried catfish was impeccably light. Oysters were dark and delicious. The only miss on the plate: the fried scallops, which were too chewy.</p><p>The sushi, displayed neatly in a variety of sushi combos ranging from $16 to $29, was excellent. The $16 combo included a perky California roll stuffed with crab salad and fresh avocado, plus two pieces each of salmon, shrimp and tuna nigiri sushi (rice topped with a slab of fish). The tuna melted in the mouth accommodatingly, without any veins or seams of fat to interfere with its gorgeous texture. The cooked shrimp nearly squeaked it was so fresh. A bowl of gumbo ($3.95) was thick and rich, with bits of shrimp and rice.</p><p>For those still unconvinced, salads, pastas and burgers round out the selection, and there’s a house-made cheesecake ($3.95) along with brought-in pies and ice cream.</p><p>The restaurant comes from June Song, who also owns Thai Chili in Southlake. This space was previously occupied by a masonry company, and the makeover is lovely, with a sharp coat of gray paint on the exterior and lovely landscaping. Inside, there’s a full bar in the corner with a flat-screen TV and a friendly vibe. The staff was just as friendly, if distracted. Bathrooms were opulent and spotless. A massive mural takes up one wall, while tabletops are painted with shellfish designs.</p><p><hr class="infobox-hr-separator" /> <div class="infobox"> <strong><span class="infobox-head">One Fish Two Fish </span></strong><br /> 210 S.
