Yo, Sharon! You wanted to know where to go for fresh fish, cheap shrimp and shucked oysters.
Thing to do is take a drive down to Kemah. But before you go over the bridge, turn off into Seabrook and find Waterfront Drive, where the shrimp boats dock. There are at least half a dozen fish markets there. The prices down there are great–but be careful! This isn’t Central Market.
You have to look over the shrimp carefully to make sure there aren’t giving you any that are turning black. And I heard the bags of live crawfish aren’t very good–they contain a lot of crushed ones. — Robb Walsh
