PORT A BEST SEAFOOD EATS

[LOOKN4REDS]

Haven't been down to Port A in a while. So what's the consensus for seafood dining dinner good food and atmosphere. Thanks for the tips.

La Playa Mexican Grill was a recommendation given to me. I went last summer and was impressed. Not exactly traditional seafood, but their seafood dishes are awesome. If you have room their flan is fantastic. Bring cash as they do not accept credit cards.

Can't beat the Boiling Pot in PortA... always a good time and good food.

That place is still open? that boiled pot was great

The only Boiling Pot I know of down there is in Rockport - 201 S Fulton Beach Rd
Rockport, TX - love the place if I'm in the mood for a "dump-it-on-the-table" Viet-Cajun seafood boil. Warning - keep the beer/wine consumption in check - the tab can be high enough just on the seafood (totally worth it), but the alcohol tab when you're consuming hot/spicey food can get out of hand at their prices.

But that's a pretty good clip of a drive and a ferry ride away, tho this time of the year, it might be less than an hour...maybe.

I second the La Playa recommendation. Friends that own a condo in Port A always go there when they're down there.

Port A brewing Company. They were listed in Tx monthly to have like the top 20 best burgers in Tx and they weren't lieing, awesome burger. They also brew their own craft beer, which is also pretty good to checkout if you are into that kinda thing.

Does anyone know if these or any other restaurants cook with fresh, never frozen ingredients? I found a dearth of dining establishments that cooked fresh when I visited PA last year.

This^ Lil touristy, but worth the stop. Their 8.1% hits the spot.

Wife and I went to La Playa in October. Spectacular Shrimp Ceviche! Cash only place though.

GREAT JOB guys. I should have a nice selection this weekend. Appreciate the help.

Trout St. for seafood... their "boiling pot" is called Crazy Cajun.. Weds go to Kody's for the prime rib special.. Coffee Waves for awesome gelato.. Moby Dicks for good food and fun family environment... Wintons for some homemade candy.. Taqueria San Juan is delicious...

Virginia's is great for seafood and the Brewing Co. is good for everything else but mexican food.

Beach and Station Street Grill has awesome seafood. The owner told me that he buys his seafood locally, from local fishermen, not from US Foods (or other major food suppliers) like most other seafood places on the coast. They are located at the corner of Beach and Station street, directly across the street from the Crazy Cajun. When I want good seafood at the coast, this is where I go. Good luck.

Shells. Little place in a gray wood building off 11th avenue. Make a shrimp pasta that has red pepper and sauce. Will change your world. They have weird hours and aren't open every day. But great. San Juan is great too. Excellent fish tacos.

If you rent a place with a kitchen you want to fix your own,,, Then to to the PollyAnna shrimp boat at the docks and buy by the pound... Fresh and real good shrimp.

Good Luck
