Katie's Seafood House

True boat-to-table dining is available at Katie's Seafood House, serving the freshest catches from the Gulf of Mexico. The only way to get fresher seafood is to catch it yourself!

Located right on the waterfront, your dining experience here will be a treat. On colder days, you can dine indoors instead. There are plenty of seating options to choose from. Katie's interior is modern, colorful, and spacious. Cathedral ceilings are lined with gorgeous dark wood beams, creating an open feel with a striking contrast.

Katie's Seafood Market has been in business for just about 20 years. The founder, Buddy Guindon, pursued his dreams of becoming a salesman and marketer in the seafood industry. After years of working as a commercial fisherman and being featured on the reality show "Big Fish Texas," he could bring his dream to life.

The Market's goals are to provide the highest-quality product available to its customers and to offer the most prominent retail display on the Island. Most of the seafood comes straight from local fishermen. The market serves many restaurants on the island and throughout Texas. Moreover, the market offers nationwide delivery of fresh fish. It ships overnight via UPS.

When you're craving boat-to-dock food, visit Katie's Seafood Market on your Galveston getaway.

Vibe

Katie's Seafood Market presents a classic, coastal Texas image from the moment you set eyes upon it. The unassuming, warehouse-style exterior is on the waterfront at Pier 19. This prime location makes it ideal for receiving the freshest catch.

The practical design reflects its purpose as a seafood market and a low-key eatery. Prominent signage and fishing boats docked nearby let you know it's the Real McCoy.

Inside, decor is functional and straightforward, with an emphasis on showcasing the seafood. For guests who choose to dine in, picnic-style tables and benches face the waterfront, offering clear views of the harbor and passing boats. The market features large, iced display cases filled with just-caught fish, shrimp, oysters, and crabs. The focus is entirely on the quality and variety of Gulf seafood.

The atmosphere at this Galveston hotspot offers an authentic dockside experience, with its direct link to the local fishing fleet.
