I was scoping out fish mongers for when I come back to Galveston on business. I love red fish but…read morehaven't had the time to go fishing myself. I stopped by both Sampson & Sons. They were getting ready to close early due to an appointment but took the time to talk with me. They showed me their fish and shrimp, explained their process and answered all of my questions. All of the fish were clear eyed and had no discernible odor... all good signs of freshly caught fish. I will be back to Galveston next week and plan on stopping at Sampson to get red fish, my favorite fish. I visited another market next door, but the personal attention just wasn't there for me. They were nice, but Sampson's really knocked it put of the park for me by staying, explaining the process, and offering to fillet my fish for me free of charge. Someone who will take the time to show a stranger around, even when they have an appointment, is someone I wish to do business with. Upon my return, I'll take photos and review the fish its self. On customer service and appearance of fish alone, I give Sampson 5 stars.

We got to witness the workers in the back bring in fresh Red Snappers directly from the boat into the store. It feels good knowing we are buying and supporting local. I'm already planning to become a regular despite the 90 minute drive. I bought three types of fish, two of each: Red Snapper, Striped Bass, and Flounder. I requested that they filet the Red Snappers, while the other four were left to be just cleaned (scaled, cut, and rinsed). It was well packaged. They even put ice in the bag for my long trip back. Excellent, excellent, excellent service. Next time a long with fresh fish, I will get blue crab and shrimp. Note: They are right around the corner from Katie's Seafood House.

They are high-pressure processed oysters - handpicked, washed, then high-pressure processed for easy shucking. We grabbed a bag and had oysters on the half shell a few days after Christmas at home -- paired with bottles and bottles of Champagne, beer and white wine. Great outdoor activity with friends or fam. We also got a bucket of pre-shucked oysters to throw a few in our homemade seafood gumbo, and also to fry up for oysters po'boys. I also saw they now sell their oysters at Central Market, for those folks who don't want to make a trek to their HQ in Dickenson or San Leon (oysters sold at their new restaurant, Pier 6).
