They have a great selection of all kinds of shrimp and fish and our service was really good. You know it's fresh when they're cutting up the fish right in front of you. You definitely smell the ocean and the seafood as soon as you step inside we ended up with grouper fillets and large golf shrimp and loved them when we cooked them that night.

Another blessed weekend and another beautiful, tasty establishment discovered. Katie's Seafood…read moreHouse is a standout as a sea-to-table restaurant in the heart of The Strand in Galveston, Texas. For starters, we sampled the wonderful smoked, stuffed shrimp boudin balls. They were served with a house-made "trio delight" dipping sauce that offered a nice little kick. For the main course, the delectable, house-made jumbo lump crab cakes were absolute divinity--delicious, melt-in-your-mouth, and awe-inspiring. They came served with white rice, an arugula salad, and a medley of fresh vegetables. We also tried a spectacular special: redfish topped with étouffée and two jumbo Gulf shrimp, served over a bed of dirty rice. The fish was perfectly flaky and robust with a great Cajun tinge. Our waiter, Victor was completely on point, though he did have to deliver two small tidbits of bad news: they were sold out of both the swordfish and the mousse cake. However, the rest of the meal more than made up for it. When it comes to Katie's, you'll never be disappointed.

I was scoping out fish mongers for when I come back to Galveston on business. I love red fish but…read morehaven't had the time to go fishing myself. I stopped by both Sampson & Sons. They were getting ready to close early due to an appointment but took the time to talk with me. They showed me their fish and shrimp, explained their process and answered all of my questions. All of the fish were clear eyed and had no discernible odor... all good signs of freshly caught fish. I will be back to Galveston next week and plan on stopping at Sampson to get red fish, my favorite fish. I visited another market next door, but the personal attention just wasn't there for me. They were nice, but Sampson's really knocked it put of the park for me by staying, explaining the process, and offering to fillet my fish for me free of charge. Someone who will take the time to show a stranger around, even when they have an appointment, is someone I wish to do business with. Upon my return, I'll take photos and review the fish its self. On customer service and appearance of fish alone, I give Sampson 5 stars.

This man is amazing, a chill happy man. With maybe too many cats. We bought blue crabs and shrimp. The shrimp was frozen from a ship but his crabs were from his traps. That was some of the best seafood I've eaten and also the cheapest. For $20 we had enough seafood for 8 people. I ate 3 crabs myself, just steamed them. We didn't season the seafood, it was that good! Seriously, this was the highlight of our trip to Crystal Beach.

Shrimp N Stuff goes well with that feeling. We split a 12 count fried shrimp dinner with fries. The shrimp has good breading and nice size. The fries are very good as well and it also comes with some hush puppies that are nice. It's a place that you order and they give you a buzzer and you pick it up when it goes off. The staff is nice and helpful and if you notice from the picture they are definitely going to give you enough tartar and cocktail sauce.
