Pier 6 · San Leon
Pier 6 serves a fish fry called Tide to Fried at its waterfront seafood room in San Leon. Potato-crusted snapper, Gulf shrimp and cornmeal-fried oysters share the plate, with fries, shaved coleslaw and sauces alongside. The kitchen also offers ways to focus the plate on fish, shrimp or oysters. Order the full combination for the range of fried seafood that gives this dish its name.
Goode Co. Fish Camp · Shenandoah
Goode Co. Fish Camp serves a coastal fry at its Shenandoah seafood room. The San Luis Pass platter brings catfish, shrimp, stuffed shrimp and crab fingers together, with comeback slaw and a choice of side. Order that platter for a mix of fried fish and shellfish, or choose the catfish platter for a fish-focused meal.
Balboa Surf Club · Galleria
Balboa Surf Club serves a Sunday fish fry with cornmeal-crusted Gulf grouper and jumbo shrimp. Housemade hushpuppies, jalapeño slaw, cocktail sauce and tartar sauce complete the plate. The seafood restaurant has a dim dining room with emerald green booths. Order the fish fry for its grouper and shrimp combination; the Sunday service makes this a weekend fry rather than a Lenten-only special.
