Nice selection of fresh fish at a fair price. More importantly, they had lobster tails, which I was having trouble finding. They were frozen, but thawed and cooked very nicely. Will definitely use them again, might even grab a poboy next time! read more

Everything was so fresh and delicious. We are visiting for 3 days and have been back twice already and bought frozen drum and sausage to take home. The staff was very helpful and friendly. read more

They brought back the Po-boys after 8 years... they are solid. One of the only places to get lunch on the way out of town on Sunday. read more

Don't have food. But nice people. Fresh sea food ......... Wish they had food ......... ..... read more

Fresh!!! Friendly, great recommendations. We stayed in Rockport for a month. Bought fish a few times, always fresh, fair prices. Gave us great recommendations on restaurants as well. We told everyone we could this was the place to get your fish! read more

the packaged oysters had no flavor at all. tiny flat oysters, tasted like Rockport tap water. We bought lbs of large shrimp cuz the medium and smalls shrimps were not looking so fresh. This time around the staff was pretty nice, our last visit not so much. this place needs a cleanup, it was a bit stinky. In the future we might stop for shrimp. we will never get oysters from here again read more

Alby's Seafood is right off Hwy 35 and has good parking. It's a small store with fresh seafood and some items in refrigerators. They had 16/20 shrimp for under $10 a pound. And fresh fish filets on ice. The rock crab claws, oysters, scallops and chowder were in the refrigerators. This is a very reliable business for your seafood needs. The lady at the counter was very patient as I asked the prices on everything I saw. I ended up with red snapper filets and jumbo shrimp. It was very easy to cook up at home on this rainy "not much to do" kinda day. The store is in Fulton, the small town next to Rockport Texas. Population 1,358. read more

I drove by this place the first day I was in Rockport. I saw the take out window on the side, and thought it might be more than just a seafood market. I looked at it here on Yelp and saw that, at one time, the oyster po boys were considred really good. I also saw that there was a possibility that they no longer had them. I decided it was worth a chance, since I had a serious fried oyster craving happening the entire time I was in Rockport. I went on the second day of my visit. Unfortunately, they do not po boys any longer. Also, when you are close up to the take out window, you can read the sign that says they no longer use the window. Undaunted, I went inside to see what they did have. I saw some of the biggest shrimp I have ever seen. They were the size of prawns! I went ahead and bought a pound of them. They lady working the counter was really friendly and helpful. She asked if I wanted them on ice. I hadn't even considered the fact that I was not going to get back to my camper at Goose Island State Park for at least an hour. I told her ice would be good, and she really did a great job of packing it all up for me. I set it on the floor under the back seat of my truck and went to lunch. Surprisingly, when I got back to my camper, very little of the ice had melted, even though it was a scorcher of a day in Rockport. I realized I didn't have a pot to cook them in. Yep, I hadn't thought that through either. I went on the internet and found a recipe for steaming them in the microwave. Thinking I was wasting some really great shrimp, I followed the instructions. Let me tell you... Those shrimp were cooked to perfection. They were quite possibly the best steamed shrimp I have ever eaten. I iced them back down and put them in the fridge, but kept going back and eating a few more until they were all gone. Next time I am in town, I am going to bring an ice chest and fill it up with all kinds of fresh sea food at Alby's to take back to San Antonio with me. read more

Fresh seafood and market prices with easy access on highway. Good to support small local businesses

I bought an $85 gal of oysters in this place yesterday because it was the only place in Rockport I could find any. They were selling a "light" Fallon for $85 not a 7lb gallon. I decided to open the container before I left and the whole top was full of ice, not oysters. The two people start pacing around and the guy says these are fresh , I just shucked today . Ok so here's the deal , you throw a bunch of fresh oysters in tap water and they will puff up and suck up water to increase their volume, which theses were. Total BS , I got prob an honest half gallon. Don't go here, they are scamming you. Turns out the bay has been closed by the state health and these are most likely from frozen stock or a bandit source. read more

Not a true fish market. No fresh fish for sale. What is in their freezer looks to have build up of ice/freezer burn.

Best place to eat in Rockport. This hits the spot every.single.time. Highly recommend the shrimp or oyster po-boy. read more

Alby's Seafood - Seafood Markets Near Me - Fulton, Texas

On a recent family trip out to Rockport ~this tiny fish market became to biggest catch of day! ------ Ok. I tried my hand at a joke and it came out kinda fishy. That was the last one: I promise! Large po boys with fresh shrimp, fried oysters, or the fish of the day -- topped off with juicy, sliced tomatoes, and smothered in your choice of tarter cocktail sauce made a meal to die for! Thursday through Sunday the group that Alby's Seafood came to greet loudly as. "AH! Hello there, Pringles" wondered in to wonder out with an arm full of po boys, french fries, and fresh oysters to enjoy later in the evenings ~~~ The (fried) oyster po boy got a thumbs up all around, the combo (shrimp and oysters) was a classic, but my favorite was the catfish po boy. All three days; however, we had to face disappointment on the side... No stuffed jalapenos or boudin balls! The nice lady behind the counter explained, on our third attempt of ordering these sides, that the cook responsibly for the delectable treats was off for that weekend. Four stars for 1. Not writing it on your dry-eraser menu that the sides were unavailable. 2. Waiting 'til the third order from the same people to finally explain. read more

Alby's Seafood - Seafood Markets Near Me - Fulton, Texas

Came here for the Po Boys! Driving by, I saw that this place has giant wind blade signs that say, "FOOD" Say no more. This is a place to buy fish, oysters, and other seafood, as well as picking up po boys. They have a little kitchen in the back of this seafood restaurant. Walking up, the front window wasn't manned, so we went inside to order. They have a few different choices of fresh fish that seems like it came from the bay. They had tubs of shucked oysters available, with no mention of where they came from. The service wasn't very great- aloof and slow. They'd take one order at a time, taking their sweet time getting the orders placed. I gotta say, it is one of the best po boys I've had- the oysters were fried with a delicious dark breading- crispy. The oysters were fresh, and there were a few fresh veggie toppings on the sandwich. The bread roll was a crisp, flaky French roll. The fries were greasy and not fully cooked- but topped with a cajun spice. Not very appetizing. There were no options for condiments- a lil' hot sauce would be appreciated. The seafood market was rather small, and many of the 'specialty' prepackaged items are available at the local grocery store at a lower price. But this is a small, local business. There's one picnic table to eat your food at here. It's in the direct sun and has no shade. They don't offer any amenities for customers looking to eat here. read more

Beautiful fresh fillets. The selection varies so call if you are looking for something specific

If you want the BEST poboy you'll ever be able to get off the coast in Texas...look no further. Turn the car around. Stop by Alby's! Alby's is a seafood markey, which offers fresh fish, shucked oysters, you name it. But if you're stopping by for a poboy, you won't need to go inside. There is a walk up window to the right of the front doors, this is where you will order and pick up the best poboy. They offer shrimp, fish, oyster or combo of 2. We typically call our order in, then just take it to eat at home. I have never had a problem with customer service, everyone I have encountered via the service window or over the phone has been very pleasant. read more

My dad, brother and I stumbled across this place while on vacation from Dallas years ago. These are the absolute best po boys any of us had ever had and have ever had since. This is the GOLD STANDARD of seafood sandwiches!! Must try!!! I can't even explain how F-ing good this food is! read more

Heard about this on the Day Tripper tv show, I've eaten a lot of po boys; this one is done right. I had the shrimp everyone else had the oyster. Soft bread, loaded with shrimp generous tomato and lettuce. Would eat it again without hesitation. read more

Alby's Seafood - Shrimp Po Boy, definitely worth a visit. - Seafood Markets Near Me - Fulton, Texas

Buyer beware. Much of what is sold here is shipped in from who knows where. The grouper and snapper is local but pricier than other retailers in the area and it is not any better or fresher than other retail venues. What troubled me was the fishmonger trying to tell me that the salmon was from Florida. WHAT? The crab was the biggest turnoff. Was told it was also from Florida, and that is plausible BUT, I found out when I returned back to my RV that the crab was 1. from Indonesia 2. It was supposed to be crab claw meat - maybe 20% was claw meat, and 3. the crab meat had been pasteurized. NASTY. I would strongly recommend passing on shopping at Alby's. I can recommend PJ's where I have found some really fresh fish and local fresh shrimp with really very fair pricing. read more

Love this place for fresh seafood. Great service great products ,oysters almost always good . I got some slipper oysters one time and Alby's took them back and gave me a new sack . Also great place to get crawfish, fish of all sorts and other yummy vittles . read more

oh my GADS.. if you have not been.. RUN don't walk.. The Shrimp Po boys are insanely good and I brought home some of the chefs specials: The shrimp scampi Ravioli and toasted it.. WOW.. I am having the Shrimp Salad for lunch.. It is amazing.. Yes it does smell- LIKE a freaking Fish Market. The Customer Service was Delightful and I visited with the Mom of the chef ( really nice and the lady who works the front and they were both very helpful) The FOOD is AMAZING.. Sorry the other reviewer had a hard time... MORE FOR ME and everyone I know that lives in Rockport and also part timers- We are all CRAZY about this place! read more

Stopped by on the weekend to score some fresh shrimp. They had a three different kinds/sizes. I asked if they were all freshly caught Gulf Shriimp and was told that they turn over the inventory daily and everything was less than a day old. Purchased a pound of the smaller white ones. When I opened the bag at home, was struck by the heavy fishy smell. Cooked them anyway. Terrible. They lied to me! Will not ever buy from them again. HEB has local shrimp and quality can be trusted. read more

RATED ZERO for customer service. I had 24 American people in our party, looking for a place to dine. However, your front desk sea hag was very rude & unprofessional. She called my daughters "Wetbacks", we were all born in the United States & all have good jobs & a few have served our country. She needs to be removed from the front desk & replaced by someone else that is respectful & professional. I will make it a point to tell all my friends & facebook family not to go to your establishment. We visit Rockport frequently & I want to hear her talk to me that way!!! I will report this racism to the Better Business Bureau. THANK YOU, MARGARET DECKER from SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS. read more

I have been wanting to have a Po Boy here for a while and finally today I was able to indulge. They literally make the best Po Boy in South Texas. If you find yourself in the Rockport-Fulton area stop by and order some fresh seafood. Have a seat outside and enjoy. The staff is amazing and the seafood is so fresh. I can't think of another way to say how delicious the food is here. read more

This is your perfect example of a hole in the wall perfect local food experience. Alby's cooks everything while you wait. It is not a dime in experience but the fish cannot be more fresh.

So far, I just have phone experience with Alby's. We are making a day trip tomorrow, from Rosenberg. I called to see if they had jumbo lump crab. Barbara was cheerfully helpful! They do have it, so I am ready to stock up on great seafood, and enjoy a great lunch there. read more

Best fried seafood in Rockport/Fulton - the shrimp is second to none - get a po- boy or a plate doesn't matter. The fries and coleslaw also the best - coleslaw like KFC type only better - fries are hand cut and skinny with some skin - boardwalk style - no salt or seasoning required. Weird as it sounds their cocktail sauce and tartar are homemade and kicked up - I like my cocktail sauce almost white with horseradish, theirs is awesomely kicked up and tartar has lemon and dill - - in short - a must do. Call ahead and they'll even bring it to your car! It's a fish market - know that when you walk in - only two picnic tables outside but everything is made fresh while you wait. Great smiling attitude by the young lady behind the counter!!! My new favorite. read more

We stopped here for lunch on our tour of beaches in Rockport, Port A and Corpus. When you're at the beach one must eat seafood every chance you get. We had an oyster poboy, and a couple of shrimp plates. Poboy was great, shrimp was also great. Seafood should taste like it came from the ocean and their food does. On a side note, the adjoining fish market smells like fish, so you should expect that, it's seafood. We liked it so much we stopped again on our way home even though it was out of the way this time. Even the kids, who don't typically like seafood, enjoyed it. read more

I ate the poboys/fries once and was satisfied, however, the fries were a bit salty, but good. Read other reviews for local catch information. I went a second time for the fries only, as we had dinner reservations at a local restaurant that evening and did not want to ruin my appetite. Once I ordered the fries, the counter worker said " let me see if we have any left " ,,,any potatoes left? Humm? This was at noontime . She and another older women returned to the counter, and I basically had a stare down with the older woman. After, literally, 15 seconds, I opened my mouth by stating the above (dinner reservations). After my explanation, she agreed to make the fries. While waiting, I was asked ( not to make small talk, but to confirm my story) where I was dining that evening by two employees . Once I received my fries, I was asked where I was going that evening by the older woman, who then handed me my fries. They were EXTREMELY salty. This is not just my opinion. I dare you to go in and order just the fries. read more

I am a local here in Rockport and have traveled the world literally,if you get the chance to try their Shrimp salad inside the market you will not be disappointed it's the absolute best in the world hands down and I'm not kidding....it has a little kick which is awesome!!!! I literally purchase 2-4 containers a week,and when I travel to San Antonio it's literally 8 I have to purchase everyone looks forward to this treat I bring. read more

We shared an oyster po boy. It was chock full of oysters. Great breading on the oysters. We should have ordered 2 because it was so good.

Always have gotten tasty shrimp platters here. Yes, sometimes they're a little peculiar, but I've never had a rude experienced as suggested in other comments. I haven't bought raw food from them but see oysters coming into the warehouse all the time. The cole slaw is excellent but I'd request a better portion. Fries are like you get on the boardwalk. I'd recommend them. You are better with take out because they don't have much seating. read more

The Oyster Po' boy was fantastic. As good as any I have eaten. Fresh oysters, lettuce and tomato and a perfect roll. Not too big, it was just right. read more

Headed to the coast and saw this restaurant and stopped to eat. Upon entering the person at front seemed upset that more customers were stopping by to eat. We were totally ignored until we approached and asked to see how long it would take to get a table which the restaurant was half empty. The women responded in a harsh a rude tone. We quickly left and would like to warn others not to even waste your time at this place.....never again!!!! read more

We had our first encounter this past weekend with racism. The lady named Dee who works up front was beyond rude when I went in to purchase a good amount of bait for Michael's birthday trip out in Rockport just this past weekend. She was extremely unprofessional and was on her phone the entire time as I asked her questions concerning the freshness of the shrimp. The instant she was confronted on the matter she became more rude stating she could care less and she dont "give a F***". We responded with stating she was giving the business a bad name and her response was that we were giving "wetbacks" a bad name before proceeding to the office and slamming the door behind her. I was in such shock that I just walked out and immediately told my husband what had happened. My 16 year old daughter, as well as my sister accompanied me into Albys as the entire situation played out. I am completely disgusted and will NEVER RETURN to this establishment and encourage others of a different race to stay far away from this place. May God Have Mercy on her soul read more

Best food I've have in Rockport. Split a oyster and fish poorboy. Hot, fresh and very tasty.
