Best seafood?

[big daddy russ]

Where's the best seafood you've eaten? Like I said on the CFS thread, it's one of those foods that's either fantastic or terrible. There's just not much in-between for me.

Personally, I love Shells in Port Aransas and Mark's 1658 in Houston.

Willie G's in Galveston, Pelican's Landing in Port Aransas, Crab N in City by the Sea, and the Yardarm in Corpus Christi are also good.

Any Pappadeaux. The one in Fort Worth sticks out in my mind though; place is fantastic.

[bigwood33]

Water Street in Corpus is a favorite of mine.

I agree with this. :thumbsup: Also, when I lived in Houston, Pappas Seafood was a favorite. Any restaurant the Pappas family has is great.

[Gobbler Fan]

Barkett's Restaurant in Seadrift Texas is very good .

Have you had a bad experience at Charlotte Plummer's in Rockport Fulton? I typically hear good things about their food.

We seldom order seafood when going out since we are a "catch it and eat it" family. Never a shortage of fish or wild Texas shrimp in the freezer. My son makes an amazing grilled fish on the pit and my absolutely favorite shrimp is the large butterflied shrimp filled with crabmeat stuffing, wrapped in bacon and broiled. Few bites of that and you will think you died and went to Heaven.:)

I'll have to remember those the next time I'm down there. Spent half my life around the coastal bend area, Aransas Pass, Corpus Christi, Refugio. Never a shortage of good seafood eatin' places.

Don't have any in the central Texas area. Pappadeaux's is about as close as it gets.

I heard they just bought Fuddruckers.

The BEST seafood I've ever had was at Ralph and Kacoo's in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. There is one in the Bourbon Street area of New Orleans too, but the Baton Rouge location is the original and the better one (IMO).

The ones in Port Aransas are excellent choices. Yardarm in Corpus is probably the best one there. In the rest of the state, it's hard to beat Pappadeux's.

anything with snowcrab

Heading to Galveston tomorrow. Where can I find some good seafood? I mean good. NO pre marinated freezer burned crap.

[Ruserious]

Snoopy's on the island just off the causeway at Corpus Christi is the best and freshest I have ever had.Try their "drumsticks" which are fresh drum fillets and their fried shrimp is perfect every time.

[Ranger Mom]

Have never eaten seafood in Texas anywhere but Red Lobster.

The best seafood place I have ever eaten at was "The Hungry Fisherman" in either
Nashville or Memphis!

We liked Fish Tails on the Seawall when we were there about a month or so ago. Also, try this burger dive called The Spot. Order some "kisses" for an appitizer.

Yes. Its located on The Strand. Seems like there are 2 different ones. The Candy Factory and the Chocolate Factory I believe. Pretty sure the Chocolate place is the one you are looking for.

I can agree that Snoopy's is pretty good. Don't know if its the best around but it is right up there with some of the best.

Trulucks is very "**-**." I went there once a long time ago - I don't recall it being the best I've ever had or anything like that. It wasn't bad either.

Ralph and Kacoos's is very good but I belive the Houston area has the best seafood and any food for that matter in all the state of Texas.Heck 66 just drive down Spencer to the little Fish Place in frount of Walmart for the price of a hamberger you can get some good seafood.

[WOS1]

The Schooner in Port Arthur. It's about 50 yrs old and has lasted that long for a reason!;)

[JJWalker]

Soul Food

[Blackcat1954]

Guadios was open in January when made the trip to eat there for our anniversary

We were in Galveston in July but didn't go by there.

They are a bit pricey but worth it once a year.

[Spread It Out]

Yeah, Guido's Gaido's or however you spell it is phenomenal. Would definitely recommend eating there.

[eagleqb_14]

[1st and goal]

Cathy's in Port O'connor has great fried shrimp.

Pappadeux has great stuffed crap and shrimp.

[Diocletian]

Boudreaux's and Thibodaux's

in Houma, LA


Absolutely the best seafood.

Their freshwater food is also fantastic...crawfish and gator is untouchable.

Also some of the best boudin I've ever had.

[slpybear the bullfan]

Blowfish Sushi in San Jose... :clap:
