    Noah's Ark has some decent food. Great views, great atmosphere. Service is ok, but on weekends, it can be slow.

    The Galvez is good too, but pricey.
    I prefer CLEAN, soft, clean, sexually aggressive, mature ladies. I like chocolate just as much as vanilla.

    Fancy,
    About the only seafood being commercially harvested out of Galveston Bay are shrimp, oysters, and crab. And no one has processed crabs on this bay since hurricane Ike. For over a decade Every boat ramp has a sign warning not to each more than one meal of seafood from this bay a month, and to never eat it if you are or ever plan on being pregnant. So this situation is not new. Sad, but not new.

    The good news is that you can ask your server where the seafood is sourced, and they will tell you.

    Now for my recommendations. For an upscale experience you can’t beat The Saltwater Grill in Galveston or Tommy’s Oyster Bar and grill in Clear Lake. Put on a pretty dress and some fancy shoes, grab a cocktail at the bar and then sit down for a great dinner. For more casual dining, The Topwater Grill and The Black Pearl Oyster Bar in Galveston are great picks.

    How sad about the seafood! About one meal a month with ocean-going local critters is average for me. At just a few months short of 60, at least the pregnancy fear won't be an issue, chuckle.

    Thanks for the suggestions!

    I lived in Galveston for a couple of years. It taught me to only eat seafood if you're living by the water. So fresh. It's not longer there, but there was a place called Pier 19 over off of the Strand. It had a dock out back and the menu was a chalk board. Whatever came in on the boats, that was what was on the menu. That spoiled me.

    Majority of American shrimp come from offshore. But they are born in the grass inshore.
    I don't let the signs bother me. I eat it all, whenever I want to. I like seafood, and I eat it a lot.
    A majority of shrimp in the US come from overseas. Same with crab.

    On Galveston Island... two 'locals' places I recommend --

    Bennos (on the north end of the seawall)

    Shrimp 'n Stuff

    Neither of these places are 'fancy'... butt they worth a try

    The Topwater Grille is open and thriving. We were there recently and every outdoor table was taken. As an added note, leashed dogs are allowed at the outdoor tables.

    I go to Galveston so much but there's a few places you guys mentioned that I've never even heard of I think I'm going to try the one on this strand this week. See if it stands up to its reputation.

    I second “Shrimp n Stuff” thats where all the locals eat. ”The Black Pearl” on the Strand is also excellent.
    I like to hit “The Black Pearl” then walk over to the “Tremont House” and enjoy the view from the roof top bar. Right now the weather is perfect for it.
