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.

    Wonderful attention to food allergies by multiple people. So thankful for your awareness and attentiveness! Fantastic and fresh food all around! They have great patio heaters that helped us enjoy outdoor dining on the island without being chilly!

    We tried the Chef’s Special, which was the Red Snapper Tiki Masala, and it was divine. Would definitely order it again if it lands on the standard menu. Our server was attentive and professional. We sat outside and enjoyed the view and the breezes. Thank you to the whole staff.

    We were promptly seated on a busy night. We shared a fish and shrimp platter which was fresh and delicious. One of the sides was the blue crab macaroni and cheese dish. We weren’t a big fan of this. It was rather bland and could have used more crab. One of the managers recommended the pina colada cheesecake. It was delicious! Jordan was an excellent server! It was a great experience.

    We were sent here by a friend who said Katie’s is their favorite seafood restaurant in Galveston. Seafood is fresh from the ocean and you can definitely taste the quality. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. We truly felt like guests in her home. Her pride and love for the restaurant and food came through as she guided us with recommendations. We had a gulf shrimp boil and the Golden Kite. Delicious!!
