    The bait has been great every time. Never shiesty. I would recommend this spot for anyone on their way fishing on the island.

    This is my go-to spot for shrimp on the island. Staff was very helpful great recommendations. Gulf Coast finest in my opinion.

    Sampson & Son's Seafood - Fresh shrimp just caught

    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.

    Loved the fact we could get fresh seafood early. We tried three other places before landing here…read more Staff were super helpful and even carried out the bag for us. They had a great selection and even offered to clean and filet the fish. This is a great option.

    This is a must stop location for us in Galveston, and usually the first stop as well. I don't know…read morehow common this is but whenever I go to Galveston and approach the causeway I start to feel some weight lift off my shoulders and relax. Shrimp N Stuff goes well with that feeling. We split a 12 count fried shrimp dinner with fries. The shrimp has good breading and nice size. The fries are very good as well and it also comes with some hush puppies that are nice. It's a place that you order and they give you a buzzer and you pick it up when it goes off. The staff is nice and helpful and if you notice from the picture they are definitely going to give you enough tartar and cocktail sauce.

    Shrimp N Stuff is always near the top of every "Where Locals Eat in Galveston" list. It's a small…read moreneighborhood place with mostly fried seafood in the menu. No fancy dishes, new takes on old dishes, signature chef creations or molecular gastronomy froufrou. The tables and decor is simple and no nonsense. At Shrimp N Stuff you order at the counter and they buzz the ticker when your food is ready. You pick up the food, find a place to sit and eat. I got the Create A Platter with stuffed shrimp and fried catfish with fries and boiled potatoes. It also comes with three hush puppies. The food is good. The stuffed shrimp was the best. The stuffing was packed with flavor but I could still taste the shrimp. The catfish was fried to a golden crisp and it came out hot! The potatoes were surprisingly good. I wanted the bean relish but my wife nixed that idea. The hush puppies were okay. They were dense and flavorful but just a little too small and crispy for my taste. The fries were limp but they were alright. Overall, I'd go back to Shrimp N Stuff for a quick bite to eat. It's not somewhere to go for a fancy date, maybe the third or fourth date. I'm on thirty years of marriage so it's great for us.
