[Gclyde28]

Best place to buy some fresh shrimp in Galveston. Looking for the biggest size possible.

Run back over the bridge to TC and go to Boyd's.

Katie's Seafood Market, 1902 Wharf Rd, Galveston, TX 77550

Easy enough. We are driving down today so I don’t even have to go back across. I can just stop on the way down.

Hillmans on 146 just after 517 and before the Dickinson bayou bridge. They normally have a very good selection and reasonable prices.

I will also say Katie's.
Was there last Friday and the quality was great!

I vote Katies. Went there ourselves when we started in Galveston over Memorial Day. Fantastic quality, but you pay for it. There are a couple other Markets if Katies is out with a similar set up.

Boyd's

All of the ones mentioned are good.

[Zjesse22]

Boyd’s.

[lilavidhunter]

You said you would buy them today, but tomorrow from 12-4 pm, Boyd’s will have 9-12 count on Sale for $4.99 lb. 16-18 Count for $3.50 lb.

These are Head On. Minimum 10 Lbs.

Just remember when buying head on shrimp, although impressive looking, 40% of your money goes in the trash for heads. That is unless you save the heads for gumbo stock.

Get you some of them giant Red Argentina shrimp, unbelievably good!
