Katie's Seafood House, Waterfront seafood restaurant in Galveston, US.
Katie's Seafood House is a waterfront restaurant at Pier 19 in Galveston, Texas, serving fish and shellfish sourced from local fishermen. Tables face the marina, so diners can watch working boats come and go while eating.
The restaurant grew out of a family fish wholesale business that had spent decades supplying seafood along the Gulf Coast. That background in commercial fishing directly shaped how the restaurant was built around fresh, local sourcing.
The restaurant reflects the fishing heritage of the Gulf of Mexico and prepares catches using Texas-inspired cooking methods. Visitors can observe how local fishing traditions directly shape what appears on the table.
The restaurant is easy to find at Pier 19, right on the waterfront, with parking available close by. It tends to fill up on sunny days and weekends, so arriving early or reserving ahead is a good idea.
Boats from the local fleet deliver their catch directly to the restaurant on the same day they return to port, which means the menu can shift depending on what was caught that morning. On some days, certain fish may not be available simply because the sea did not offer them.
