About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Good for groups
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.

    Shrimp was just ok. Cornbread was dry. Snapper sandwich was delicious but the bun was too thick and felt overwhelming on the fish. When eating the snapper on its own it was delicious. For the cost we were underwhelmed. Service was great.

    Food and service were excellent. Delicious!!! We were there during a busy dinner time and it was a little loud. Hard to hear each other talk at our table of 6.

    Food was overpriced for the value. I would have never know it was fresh and not frozen. Except for the dessert which was wonderful!

    The staff was outstanding esp Meagan who was extremely attentive but not intrusive. She gave a great explanation of the menus and the food arrived promptly. It was steaming hot. The food was amazing! We will make Katie’s one our favorite restaurants and tell our friends to go there as well!

    Ty, our waiter, was amazing at providing options without seed oils and checking with the kitchen to confirm. I had grilled snapper, coconut cilantro white rice, and seasoned brussel sprouts. Service and food amazing!!! Fish, is fresh caught on their boats and go straight to the chiller until cooked. No frozen fish here! Truly amazing!!!
