San Antonio Express-News: Voted “Best Seafood” for Over 20 Years
The San Antonio Express-News runs the Readers’ Choice Awards each year, in which locals vote for their favorite spots around the city. Sea Island Shrimp House has been voted Best Seafood every single year since the poll started, going back more than 20 years.
That doesn’t happen from one good visit. It comes from customers returning over and over, bringing family and friends, and deciding it’s still their go-to after all these years.
San Antonio Current: Best Seafood Restaurant in San Antonio
If you’ve lived in San Antonio for a while, you’ve probably seen the San Antonio Current “Best of San Antonio” list. Locals pay attention to it because the votes come from people who actually eat around the city.
Sea Island Shrimp House was voted Best Seafood Restaurant for many years.
That usually means a few things. It’s the kind of spot people return to for reliably delicious, simple, and easy seafood. It’s where families bring out-of-town guests. And it’s the kind of place that automatically gets recommended.
We’re glad to fit that bill.
San Antonio Magazine: Numerous “Best Of” Awards
San Antonio Magazine puts together its “Best of the City” list each year, highlighting places locals enjoy and return to.
Sea Island Shrimp House has picked up a number of those mentions over the years.
It’s not about one standout moment. It usually just means we’ve stayed consistent. The food’s delicious, the service feels easy, and it’s a place people are comfortable bringing family or friends without overthinking it.
And honestly, that’s exactly what we aim for.

KSAT runs its SA Picks each year, in which people across the area nominate and vote for their favorite local businesses, covering everything from restaurants to everyday services.
