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.
