Galveston - Suggestions please - SHRIMP


407dm

Recommended Posts

I will be on the Carnival cruise on 10/2/2006 and have been asked by the local fire department if shrimp will still be available in Galveston in October ?? If it is we may want to bring a bunch back for a fundraiser dinner for the fire department.

 

Any suggestions on the local markets or shrimp boats will be helpful.

 

Thanks in advance.

Are you willing to venture away from Galveston?

 

There is a really good shrimp market in Kemah, which is about 30 minutes northeast of the island.

Kemah also has a really cool little boardwalk with a hotel that would be relaxing to stay at.

Also, if you have a car or any kind of ride, you may consider taking the free ferry (pic below) over to Bolivar Peninsula and Crystal Beach, Texas.
