What you got? New to town and want to do a shrimp boil for tomorrow's game. Been to Whole Foods and Central Market. Both good, but expensive. I'm looking for something a little different.

Airline Seafood is an option inside the loop...as is J&R's seafood...consider Fiesta too...

Try out Mambo's Seafood. You maybe the only gringo in the place but shite is legit. They have a market too. Belly up to the Oyster Bar and get a shrimp coctel and michelada. Thank me later.

Oh don't forget to order their shrimp fried rice...best anywhere.

Houston has nothing comparable to Tony's in Baton Rouge. Surprised the hell out of me that a city this size and this close to the Gulf would be such a flaming dud when it comes to fresh seafood markets.

Depending on the size of your boil, you may want to consider driving to Seabrook (across from the Kemah Boardwalk) for your next one. There are about 5 different seafood markets all within walking distance of each other. So you can just show up with an ice chest and shop around for the best prices, and best sizes.

During crawfish season, this will be the best place to get jumbo select crawfish at the cheapest prices around, along with hand-selecting blue crabs, and choosing from the biggest variety of shrimp you can find. What the hell, grab some fresh oysters while you're at it.

Definitely worth the drive for buying bulk seafood.

Kemah. Cross the Bridge and there are several right there.

Don't go to Crazy Alan's beside the Kemah Marina. Overpriced and not very good for selection or freshness. I don't like the crappy cover bands that play at the attached bar/fry-shack either.

I was in Golden Friday and bought some shrimp. They sell live shrimp and croakers for fishing too. They have about anything you could want. Blue Crabs are everywhere at this point...and I believe I saw little neck clams. No Oysters until Nov 1st. I like Golden and Roses.
