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 vibrant, family-owned spot offers a delightful "boat to table" experience with standout items like the blackened red snapper and smoked oysters.

Our first time, had heard great things about Katie's. There were 5 of us coming from Sugar Land, Manvel and Alvin and we came for my Mom's 93rd birthday. Our server, Dez B was really patient with us especially my Mom who asked her a million questions and her opinion on food and cocktails. She also split the check for us. I really appreciated her cheery attitude as well. We loved the food, had a hard time choosing, so we'll have to come back for more!

We're local so Katie's is one of our go to places. Food is always great as is the service. 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.

The food and service were excellent. We had reservations and they immediately sat us. We had the ceviche and grouper done creole style and both dishes were great. We are from out of town and wished we had a place like this back at home.

Amazing!!! The oysters were huge and so fresh. Our server was so sweet and very knowledgeable of not only the menu but seafood in general. We had to finish with a piece of the limoncello cake which was sooo good! Next time we visit the area this will be our first stop.

Had been wanting to try this restaurant after seeing it on Food Network. It was amazing. 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.

Blue crab by the pound was by far the best food. Gumbo was mediocre. Fried fish platter had too much batter and little flavor. Burger was good size but over cooked. We would only come back for the blue crabs by the pound.
