In 1998, Buddy Guindon, his wife Katie, and his brother Kenny opened Katie's Seafood Market in Galveston, Texas. For more than 20 years now, Katie's Seafood Market has provided the highest quality of products available to its customers. The majority of seafood comes from local fishermen and shrimpers, including Red Snapper, Grouper, Golden Tile Fish, Flounder, Oysters, Shrimp, and Blue Crabs. A producer contacted Guindon in the hopes of doing a reality show about his family business. In 2015, the reality show 'Big Fish Texas' came to life on National Geographic. As a supporter of the local economy, In September of 2019, Buddy opened Katie’s Seafood House, next to the market. Katie’s seafood market supplies the restaurant with all fresh seafood. We take pride in being the only local seafood restaurant on the island that brings fresh fish straight from the boat and to your table.

    We had a party of three and got a table outside. We were able to see a cruise ship leave the terminal along with lots of shrimp boats, and some dolphin.  The wait staff was very prompt and engaging. our food was delicious and timely. My husband said the grouper was the best he’s ever had. I had broiled shrimp with rice and veggies, and it was perfect.  our son had the shrimp Poboy with coleslaw and fries, which was also very good. We got the side of fried oysters and those were delicious.

    We made reservations for earlier in the afternoon. 3 PM. The place was not packed and we were seated quickly. Ashton was our server and gave us all kinds of information, as this was our first time. We had top shelf margaritas, and they were wonderful, from the bar. My husband got his oysters, Rockefeller, which he absolutely loved, and we also ordered the fried green tomatoes and cheesy bacon grits that came with them. The tomatoes were awesome. Just the right amount of crust and the perfect size. To be completely honest, we ate these things and we’re so full. We couldn’t eat anything else. We will definitely be back and looking for Ashton! Oh, and they gave us birthday cake! Which was freaking amazing!!

    Delicious meal and an extensive menu. So fresh. The restaurant was packed but our service was outstanding. Highly recommended but do yourself a favor and make reservations ahead of time. We did and were so glad. There were SO many people waiting and we were able to waltz right in and get our table.
