Since 1965, Sea Island Shrimp House has created dishes with quality and value in mind. Today, quality fresh seafood made from scratch and attention to the finest details is what keeps Sea Island growing strong.
That statement may sound like a lot of restaurants, but keep reading and you’ll understand the true meaning of our tagline, “Fresh Seafood. Done Right. Since 1965.” First and foremost, Sea Island is very proud to talk about the origin of its seafood. We don’t consider the “origin” a plant where seafood is processed. We consider the “origin” just as it’s meant—where the fish, oysters, and shrimp are pulled from the water.
All present and accounted for! We're proud to display the origins of our seafood.

We serve about 13 million premium Wild Caught Texas Gulf shrimp a year. But that’s not the astounding fact! We hand peel each one of those. Yes, we hand peel 13 million shrimp a year. Why would any restaurant do that? Quality! We can hand inspect each and every shrimp that’s going to be served to our guests. If it’s not good enough, it goes no farther.
That delicious breading on our seafood is made every day by hand. We don’t use packaged breading because you just can’t get that famous Sea Island texture and flavor from a box. We start every morning by combining bread and cracker crumbs…the rest is a family secret.
It’s important that our oysters be certified. We only harvest oysters from USDA government certified beds in our own Texas gulf. Why? Well, we’ve been kind of partial to them since the ‘60s. We know the people and the quality of the oysters. Plus, we think they have the best taste. And since we serve about 3.5 million pounds a year, it’s apparent our guests agree.
We serve award-winning steaks! Everyone seems to love that all time favorite, “steak and shrimp.” Well, in all honestly, we’ve actually been honored with some incredible reviews about our steaks….kind of a “little known secret.” We certainly don’t mind if you want a steak by itself—you can have that, too. But a juicy steak with stuffed, fried or grilled shrimp sitting next to it is wonderful!
An original favorite – The Sea Island Beef Kabob. It’s been on the menu from the start, and people still go crazy over it. Probably because, in true Sea Island fashion, we use only beef tenderloin, cubed, skewered, marinated in our own seasonings and grilled to perfection.
What sauces and marinades does Sea Island make from scratch, every day? Our cocktail sauce for sure. Then there’s our dill sauce, tartar sauce, chipotle sauce, Diablo sauce, tomatillo sauce and pineapple dipping sauce—just to name a few. Not only do we put that much time and effort into the ingredients to create the foundation for great seafood dishes, we hand filet our fish to get just the right cut and portion for our guests.
Our sides are never side-stepped. We make our sides from original recipes and by hand every day. That includes our hot or chilled green beans, hushpuppies, shrimp gumbo from a genuine roux, coleslaw, rice pilaf and, of course, we prepare fresh corn-on-the-cob. Don’t forget to start off with a fantastic appetizer! May we recommend a couple of Sea Island favorites, Ceviche or our Mexican-Style Shrimp Cocktail?
We bake our famous Key Lime Pie from scratch every day. You're more than welcome to have a slice for dessert, or order a whole pie to-go, we're sure you'll love this cherished family recipe.
