I have been here 4 or 5 times. I like coming here. I have visited most of the other seafood wholesalers (without purchase) on the street but for whatever reason, I just like the vibe from Rose's. The others have the same or relatively similar prices. Some sell certain fish that the other doesn't. But here is why I like Rose's: 1) It's clean 2) Fresh fish (best to come in the morning when their shipment for the day comes in and the fish has clear eyes, not cloudy or semi-cloudy eyes) 3) Good customer service in person and over the phone. They are more than welcome to answer any questions you have. Like seriously! (I like to ask questions) 4) They have some chairs if you need to sit down. 5) They have an elevator 6) They will give you as much ice as you want Some downsides are: 1) Not all the fish is Wild-caught (much more healthier) and as one reviewer said, it would be VERY helpful if they labeled which ones are. But you can always ask. 2) Would also be nice if they listed where their products come from (but most people don't care). Found out they can stuff the fish with crabmeat if you request it. And of course, they will cut, clean, gut the fish any way you desire. read more

All I can say is that Roses is the place to go for fresh seafood on the Seabrook side of the bridge. The selection they offer is enormous. They have what ever you are looking for. Fresh yellowfin tuna, salmon, red snapper, rainbow trout, flounder, drum, catfish, tilapia, wild Gulf Texas shrimp (peeled, head off, head on), crab meat, gumbo crabs, Wahoo, oysters, scallops, and more. All fresh. They also have all the products you need as in mixes, crab boil, Poche's cajun sausages in the freezer, Slap Ya mama, and more. The staff is friendly and helpful. Add them of facebook for cool recipes and an up to date listing of what just arrived. read more

I bought some of the freshest tuna, cut into steaks right before me. This block of cold, bright red fish wanted me to take a giant bite out of it. But I didn't. I saved that til I took it home and seared the shiz out of it. For a little over $7 a pound, it made for two giant servings. And the scallops, well, I haven't cooked those yet. Rose's is a very large space, however they don't have nearly close to the selection that Golden Seafood down the block does - however, they smell a thousand times better. It's newer and smells straight up like Clorox. And the Latino guys working behind the counter were muy amable. I noticed that they were selling their blue crab have de-shelled, which cuts out half of your work/time. And if you need to buy seasonings, Mexican candy or odd little Asian knicknacks (def overpriced), you can also scoop that up. I'll be back after my next day at the beach, a visit at Kemah or my Gma's. But I'll be sure to check out all three seafood shops - each a stone's throw away from each other - to scoop out the pricing. read more

I started venturing here from a suggestion by a co-worker and I liked how I could actually see them filleting my catfish, rather than turning their backs to me or having to buy some pre-filleted and questionable authentic catfish. However, my most recent trip may have made me sick...The fish had somewhat of a bloody smell to it, and I think the most recent fry of it created a feeling of nauseousness. They also do not de-vein the shrimp for you and their selection of such just doesn't seem to be as plentiful as others around. I'll still frequent this place for seafood but do so with an observant and cautious eye... read more

Great selection of in season seafood. The workers will clean and filet anything you need free of charge. Of course it smells fishy when you walk in it the cleanliness is impressive. Best way to know its fresh seafood is when you get him to unpack the items and you sure do NOT smell any type of odor! Just freshness! Gotta get the fresh flounder---always crisp and flaky yummmmm They also give complimentary ice so bring a cooler! read more

Excellent selection of fresh and frozen fish. Also a nice selection of bagged (frozen) seafood and spices. The service here is prompt and courteous. The fish -- outstanding. We've found our fish market. read more

Rose's Seafood - Seafood Markets Near Me - Seabrook, Texas

Right now I am so mad at Roses I really don't know if I will ever set foot in here again! I asked for the bones from my 2 grouper and 2 red snapper. Everything was put in the same bag all the filets and the bones. So now I have a bunch of poached fish bc I didn't look closely enough, I mean, who the hell puts everything in the same bag. I'd call, but pretty sure they wouldn't understand or give a crap. read more

Outstanding selection of FRESH seafood at amazing prices direct from sea to storefront. This family owned establishment came highly recommended for sourcing seafood by the locals. No blue crab the day I visited but Jumbo crawfish are now in season. There's half a dozen fish markets in the area but I only go to Rose's. read more

Always fast friendly service, great selection of sea food. The shrimp are so fresh they are still green. I go every week to pick up shrimp, salmon, scallops. A great healthy option. If you want good fresh seafood this is the place! read more

Rose's Seafood - Fresh gulf jumbo shrimp - Seafood Markets Near Me - Seabrook, Texas

This is our favorite supplier of seafood in the Greater Houston area. Rose's is family owned and has a wonderful seafood selection and top notch customer service and friendly. Best parking area on Waterfont Dr. in Seabrook. read more

Beautiful fresh seafood! I love how organized they are- even busy they manage to keep lines moving.

One of my favorite places for getting seafood: blue crabs, crawfish, shrimps, oysters, etc. Love buying oysters by the sack for post Thanksgiving party! Friendly service by the folks behind the counter. read more

I've always purchased seafood from Rose's but this last time was a disaster. I live 4 hours away so I always purchase a bunch and freeze. I bought 7 pounds of jumbo shrimp and 2 whole red snappers. The fish was fresh and tasty. The shrimp was another story. I deveined, washed the shrimp, and battered them with my flour/cornmeal with no seasoning. These shrimp were so so salty and they didn't have that "fresh Gulf" taste. They tasted like any frozen shrimp at Kroger with a boatload of salt. I don't know if you guys are freezing these due to weather, but you should advise customers about them being frozen and heavily salted. I will buy from your competition from here out. read more

Fresh seafood at a great price! This is my go to vendor when I'm in the mood for cooking yo some seafood (on a weekly). They have a great selection and their prices... Shocking! One thing I admire is their number system used to service clients quickly. Sometimes they cab get really busy, and the number system streamlines customers like no other. On this particular visit, I came in for some crabs. Initially I was hunting blue crabs (which they had at $2.99 per lb), but of course my eyes began to wonder... I noticed some very large pink shrimp which were priced at about $6 per lb! After further investigation, I discovered that they are sweeter in taste and resemble the same flavor as lobsters. What the what?! Now you know I had to try these. Decided to splurge a little and picked up some Super Colossal Snow Crabs out the freezer (I didn't even know there was such a size) to complete this meal. When I tell you I've found a new love in these Red Alaskan Shrimp... OMG! Definitely a must try! read more

Amazing fresh seafood! And, Sam and Rose are so kind. Their staff will help you pick just the right fish for any feast.

This past Saturday we decided we wanted some snow crab legs for dinner. I must admit I was completely satisfied with the choice of seafood items they have available at Rose's seafood. The crab legs where reasonably priced and I will be back again.. read more

Quality seafood at a reasonable price most of the time. The displays usually are clean and appealing but the elevator is AWFUL - it stinks so bad you'll have to hold your breath. read more

Excellent sea food market and the service and pricing is excellent- I have been coming here for 3 yrs and it is the best

Every time I'm in the Houston area, I make sure to bring an ice chest to load up at Rose's. Best Gulf Shrimp ever. And super nice people.

I have been eating only seafood, as meat, for over 20 years. Since moving to Seabrook, I only buy my seafood at Rose's. It is, without a doubt, the best. I've tried the other surrounding seafood markets in the past. Rose's is the best. read more

Absolutely the best fresh seafood around the area. Every crawfish season they take incredible care of us. They have a great selection of fresh seafood and they always keep it full. Rarely do they run out of anything and the pricing is on point. The owners are a pleasure to deal with and they are always courteous and cordial. Don't buy seafood from anywhere else. read more

Great selection and very clean place. Prices are very reasonable. $45 for 3 lbs of snow crab legs. They were huge too. Should have take a picture but couldn't wait to get them in the pot and eat. Living in Austin it's hard to come by good seafood. My daughter lives close so next time I visit her I will be bringing a cooler to stock up and take home. read more

Rose's Seafood is the absolute best place to purchase seafood in Kemah. I have been going there for over 15 years. You can visit one of the other places, but I guarantee that you will always come back to Rose's. They have the freshest stock in the cleanest facility down there, and their prices are phenomenal. Not once have I ever had issues with customer service, now if they are busy, well there really isn't a lot of chit chatting but they are always kind and respectful. You honestly can't go wrong with Rose's! read more

Outstanding prices. Fast and friendly service. The only draw back Not enough variety. I wish they had crabs and lobster.

If you love being by the Water as I do the trip to Rose's is not bad. The 45 Construction is pretty much complete or not as bad as it has been for years. Stop at Clearlake Park on your way back for an enjoyable Peaceful outing. Great for Children/Grand if you have them. Or lunch in the Park if you go early, which maybe best. You can buy a cooler and they will pack it for travel. It was my first Visit, so I can't compare Rose's to others near by on Price or anything else. There is Construction in the area so look for the Detours. I Prefer to buy American Seafood, but they do have so non American, I just won't buy it. I we helped by the or one of the Owners. Well the lady that made their Video, I bought Red Fish which was Priced $2 or more less than the Markets in the Houston Area. I would like to see them offer Red Fish Fillets like they do others, even Bulk/Case Price's. I bought Pealed, Deveined ready to cook Shrimp, $1 more per pound but the work already done so you decide. Working on changing my diet a bit so I hope to go there once a month for a while, then as needed. If going make the trip worth your while cost me $$$. The trip and the Service was good, but I did have issue with the Butchering of my Fish, it was Supposed to be Filleted. read more

ever since i was a kid i would remember my parents dragging me along to this seafood market for some fresh seafood. it's always our go to spot when we would make the trip to kemah since their seafood was always worth getting. everything is high quality and so is the service. read more

Great place to purchase a variety of seafood. Fresh or frozen your choice will be provided or you can special order.

Rude customer service! I asked for one scoop of ice after I purchased some ahi tuna and crabs. The lady behind the counter yelled at me and muttered something underneath her breath and begrudgingly gave me a scoop of ice. How much does one scoop of ice cost?? I used to go to Rose seafood for my seafood but not anymore! If they can provide a scoop of ice for my seafood purchase then I'll go elsewhere! There's plenty of other choices around! read more

I have been going to Rose's since she was in a little place. The seafood here is so fresh and the prices reasonable. The variety of fish, shellfish (all sizes and variety of shrimp, oyster, crawfish) including lump, dark and crab claw meat has always been delicious when cooked. Fresh! Here I can find Pompano and Grouper, Snapper, Flounder and Trout. Crawfish tails from Louisiana were so fresh, I thought I was in LA eating the Etouffee I made. The freezer case has all type of Sushi grade fish. They used to carry large bags of Potstickers that were very good. Now, they have smaller bags, but I can find them at our local grocery stores. Now, the only thing I have purchased and was not happy with, were clams, but I should have known the price was indicative of the quality. Everything else has been great throughout the years. They are in a new elevated building, with a ramp and elevator for those who can't walk up stairs. The workers will pack your fish with ice for your trip home. We try to remember the cooler when we go. They sell some Louisiana seasonings, etc. as well as crab boil. It is the only market we go to even though there are many on the street in Kemah. read more

Rose's Seafood - Crawfish prices. - Seafood Markets Near Me - Seabrook, Texas

This place is worth the drive from the city to Seabrook! Here, I fill my cooler up with the freshest seafood in prep for an ole' Cajun boil! Prices are reasonable, quality is straight off the boat, and the service provided adds convenience and value. Bring in the cooler. They'll provide the ice. I usually get 10+ lbs of shrimp at a wholesale discount. Medium, large, x-large, jumbo, and mega shrimp.. head-on, head-off, peeled, and unpeeled. I usually get what's on sale but every now and then, I will splurge and grab a few mega shrimp. Big ones taste better than lobsters! They have those too along with cheap blue claw crabs, snow crabs, and the almighty king crabs. I get a few pounds of that too. There's also many different filets of fish. It all depends on what's in season. The weirdest thing I've seen there was a giant squid. I almost bought it.. Could of served up calamari rings the size of tires! I'll sometimes grab crawfish here too! Depending on the season, it can get pretty cheap. It's usually about $1.99 per pound but occasionally, it'll drop below a $1. We get 10+lbs along with that wholesale price. When we get those mudbugs home, we fill the sink with them, wash them up, and watch them raise their claws in anger of the situation. After that, we get the boiler setup, throw in cajun spices, corn, and the potatoes. At different cookin' times, we add the shrimp, crabs, and the crawfish. When they're done and out, we dig in. A spring or summer craft brew makes a good pairing. Rose's delivers high quality, wholesale prices, and great service allowing for a delicious seafood boil. read more

Take THAT, stupid hurricane Ike!! Rose is back! Rose Seafood Market is THE market everyone told me to go to when I asked where to buy the freshest seafood. My husband was taken there by his grandfather and told it was the ONLY place to shop for good fresh seafood. I have to say all these people are right. Rose Seafood has tons of great seafood at really really good prices. You can get everything from shrimp to live blue crab, from shark to halibut, from frozen tilapia fillets to fresh whole salmon. Rose Seafood is on a little spit of land that had been lined by fresh seafood purveyors and one Pappadeax, before IKE hit. After IKE, all but the newest, highest built building were gone. My husband and I went down there a few months after the storm and saw all the debris and rubble that were still there. We teared up as we surveyed what was left of the cheery tile facade of the old Rose Seafood building. The strange gardens in back were completely gone. Visiting the only remaining seafood shop left us feeling cheated and hollow. Rose Seafood reopened a few months ago in a much bigger, better, and higher facility. They are able to carry a greater variety and a larger stock of seafood now. The place is still packed with happy seafood shoppers. The new place is next to the ruins of the old store. It has pretty good parking right there. Bring your cooler, ice, and an appreciation and hunger for fresh seafood. You won't be disappointed. read more

LOVE Rose's! The underside of the Kemah bridge has some fresh seafood, but Rose's boasts the highest quality and care with their fish. They always have sushi grade salmon and tuna - and often other fish as well. There are beautiful whole fish, always in great shape and fresh. The crabs and other love seafood is always moving and lively, which is a big deal. There's a plethora of shrimp, all sizes. Same with the scallops - bay or sea. I've never received bad fish here and the owner refuses to bring in anything she's worried may spoil. The surrounding fish markets have these horrible ammonia smells and grungy floors and tanks. While Rose doesn't keep live fish, her quality is still above the rest and there's never a suspicion of growing bacteria. I take this SO seriously with raw fish and am very impressed. They hail from Japan and use that standard. Highly recommend Rose's for anyone needing fish, sushi fish, or other seafood. Always great! read more

Took the family to Kemah with the hidden agenda of stopping by this place :) of course Kemah is just a tourist trap and the $80 dollar meal from Saltgrass, that featured the worst shrimp of my life, was ruining my family day until we went back across the bridge! I've never been to an actual fish market, so, the smell of fresh fish stunned me a bit as I walked in BUT after a few seconds I was quickly putting all of my attention on the fresh fish before me...I walked around simply amazed at all of the different types. I left that day with a 7lbs of blue crab and a couple pounds of Extra jumbo head on shrimp...yum! I've been back many times since then picking up various things like red-snapper (bought for almost $4 and it was almost $18 at HEB), 200 oyster (ended up being almost 260 pieces), more shrimp and crabs! On my last trip I took a buddy there and we ended up walking to all of the others too, just to see what the competition was like, and there was no comparison. I walked back to Rose's knowing that I have found THE place! One quick tip...Take a cooler if you have one, their cheapest was 3.75 I believe. And they'll pack your seafood with ice for free. read more

We went there a Sunday morning after reading several good reviews. It's a great place, prices are incredibly low compared to what I'm used to (just moved from DC) and everything is fresh. My issue is that I'm really into "Sustainable Seafood" (I'm not trying to promote on Yelp but check online if you want to learn more) which means that it is really important for me to know exactly where my fish and seafood was caught. We all just assume that it's from the Gulf but there is absolutely no mention of origin at this fishery, so with 90% of the seafood sold in the US coming from Asia, there are reasons to doubt. Beside this point, especially if you don't care about the above, I'd recommend this place. read more

We went to Rose's specifically to get Gulf Shrimp and it did not disappoint. Not being from the area, we followed our GPS to locate the shop, passing numerous other seafood retail stores in the same neighborhood. Our dilemma...do we go to Rose's or is another one better? I will never know if one of the others is better, we decided to stick with Rose's. The shrimp was excellent, and the price was great. It was not busy when we were there, but the salespeople were helpful and friendly. I didn't see a lot of other kinds of fish, so not sure what all they sell, but we went for shrimp and it was delicious. We had a choice of shrimp with heads, shrimp with tails, deveined shrimp with shells, or cleaned completely shrimp; we chose the deveined shrimp with tails still on because I think the shells help enhance the flavor of the dish. We made shrimp scampi, yum. read more

Located off of Highway 146, Rose's was one of the first fish market establishments in that area. When you drive off the exit ramp you will notice that there are many other fish markets to get your seafood, but Rose's is definitely the best. Rose's (originally supposed to be called "Ross's, if not for a sign mix up) was submerged below sea level after Hurricane Ike, but that did not drown out their owner's passion for fish or their customers. Rose's now touts a beautiful new raised building (fear not handicapables, I believe there is an elevator) that seems to be really clean every time I go, which is unusual for places that sell fish. Now seafood is seafood, so prices are not like dirt cheap or anything, but expect to find prices lower than any other competitor. Despite this, Rose's does not skimp out on any freshness whatsoever. I went once with my uncle, who once operated a successful sushi restaurant, he mentioned that the fish was really fresh and that it would be excellent for sashimi, though I would advise against doing so unless you have previous experience in preparing raw fish. The selection is amazing as well, and the employees (if you can get their attention) are very helpful. Fish are laid out on ice beds and you can tell them which parts you want and how much of it you want. They are totally open to giving exactly what you want. The fish is cut, cleaned and packaged for you on location. They also have a frozen foods section full of more frozen fish (escolar, different species or tuna, unagi, etc) and some random frozen asian food, The customer service is also good. One time my dad ordered fish but he forgot to mention that we still wanted the fish heads for broth. We didn't notice this until we got back home, and my dad (who was being kind of mean) talked to them over the phone and they said that they would take care of it. We just drove back and picked up the fish heads, at no cost/no hassle, they were totally understanding about it even though my dad was being cranky and upset. A couple drawbacks of Rose's include the busyness of the place. Despite Rose's amazing working hours (7:30am-6:30pm everyday), the place is always jammed packed with restaurant owners, families wanting to have a crayfish boil, and guys like me who just want fresh fish. You have to flag down an employee and tell them what you want. They will drop your stuff into a numbered bin, where you pay for it up front. The line to the cashier takes a couple minutes so be prepared to wait, but it is definitely worth it. Also, things can be sped up if you speak mandarin chinese, as the owners and some employees speak mandarin. Another thing that is kind of annoying about Rose's though, is the parking. These guys are so popular that the parking lot is almost always full, and it may be hard to navigate large trucks around, but some people still manage to do so. Luckily there are always people going in and out, so you don't have to wait a long time if there are no vacancies. If you are looking for fish and live around the Seabrook, Clear Lake, League City area then I would recommend you to at least visit Rose's if you love seafood. Its so much better than getting seafood at your local grocery store and definitely worth the 15min drive for myself to get down there. Where else can I find a big 3-pound slab of salmon? read more

I found Rose's seafood through a group of friends 3 years ago. We rented a beach house and needed some seafood for the house party so we got ~20 lbs of colossal shrimp from Rose's. This is my go-to place for colossal shrimp if I am craving shrimps. They have other seafood as well but I can't comment on those because I have only bought shrimps at this place. Their shrimp is really sweet and big. It would be great if they also include whether a product is farmed or wild caught and which states/ocean the product is from. Half the time I like farmed product and half the time I like wild caught product. Different texture and different taste. Aside from that, everything else is great. read more

This was our first time to visit Rose's Seafood. Their location has several other seafood shops in the vicinity. We decided to buy from Rose's based on a neighbor's experience. You have to walk upstairs to get into the market, but they do have an elevator. As with all seafood markets, when you walk in you smell fish. Duh! How is a seafood market suppose to smell? It didn't smell bad to us. They have different levels of fresh shrimp to buy. There's lots of different fish as well. Here's a note for you people with the "I don't want to touch the nasty fish." To check out any fish before you buy it you have to look at it. Look at its eyes, look inside the gutted fish, and squeeze the flesh for firmness. Pick it up and smell it. They have a sink where you can wash your hands. i was amazed how many people bought fish and never even looked it over. They just pointed to it. I did see a couple of species of fish that didn't look too good. They were on sale. LOL Anyway, we picked out some whole snapper and trout which were fresh. They also have some frozen filets, but we wanted fresh. The workers were always asking us if we needed help, so as newcomers we weren't ignored. We went ahead and had our fish filet out and they did a good job of it. We also order some reasonably priced jumbo shrimp. When we got home, I examined all the seafood again. All was very fresh smelling. The only complaint I have is the crab meat we bought. It was a good price and tasted good. After we got home, I looked at the label and discovered it was from Venezuela. I had the thought it might be local. Oh well. Either way, it was a good price. Overall, we liked Rose's. I can't comment on their prices compared to their nearby competitors because we didn't go into any other market. However, the place was clean and the prices blew away our local HEB prices. The workers were friendly as well. I'm sure we'll be back. read more

We went to Kemah today to check out the seafood markets, and after hitting up a few nearby contenders, found ourselves at Roses. The price point and quality were both just right -- *really* reasonable prices for very high quality seafood. crab legs at less than $5.00 a pound Gulf croaker at $2.69/lb large (21-25) gulf shrimp at $2.79/lb (6lbs or more) squid at $1.99/lb pompano at $3.25/lb. About 41¢ per oyster (by the dozen) We hit the road with the above purchases in tow. Ahi tuna, fresh Scottish salmon, and a few other fish were labeled as "sashimi graded" -- but of course, I don't know who's doing the grading ;) The red snapper was also exceptionally beautiful. read more

I was excited to make the nearly hour long trip to Rose's Seafood last week. I bought a nice fillet of flounder, 2 lbs of head on X-jumbo shrimp and a container of bay scallops. The shrimp were deliciously plump and fresh tasting. I was a bit worried about the scallops because I didn't see a pack date, but they smelled and tasted quite fresh. This was the first time trying flounder. It was not at all fishy, but delicate, flaky and had a very faint "oceany" flavor. The next day, we returned with a cooler, and got what I THOUGH was catfish, more shrimp, and a 30lb sack of oysters. I nearly bought a shucking knife that was on display, but as I stood in line I read the warning label, ***contains lead known to cause cancer, birth defects, etc, wash hands immediately...*** and I quickly returned it to the rack. Yikes! The oysters were fresh, although a mothershucker to shuck(first time shuckers). They were delish on the grill and broiled in the oven. READ THE SIGNS CAREFULLY, as a yelper has mentioned. They will read "tastes like CATFISH..." and in small print "swai" or "basa", which is what happened to me. I was a little ticked off because I was fully aware of that after reading YELP. However, someone *forgot* to write "tastes like" on the signage, so it read "CATFISH basa". IDK what basa was, but should have asked, even though I told the fishmonger, "Give me 2lbs of CATFISH." Then, as I got in the car, my receipt read, "BASA/SWAI." I know it is said they are a "type of catfish" but, I don't care for the texture of swai. SO, remember to read the signs and ASK questions! Off to the right, is a freezer fully stocked with seafood and other items like tasso, alligator, frog legs, and quail. Service is friendly and they give you plenty of ice with your purchase. read more
