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.

The place is usually crowded and the noise level inside is pretty high. So my only recommendation is if you are expecting to have a conversation trying to get seated on the deck is a good plan.

Next time we visit the area this will be our first stop.

We sat on the patio with the 50s temperature and the outdoor heaters kept us cozy and comfortable. I tried the boudain balls, snapper wings, broiled platter, fried snapper and shrimp platter. All were very good. Especially enjoyed the snapper wings. If you can deal with bones and fins you will enjoy!!! The shrimp and the snapper were the best and freshest. I look forward to returning.
