Galveston Cruiser Posted April 23, 2016 #2 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Scallops are not a local seafood. Should you locate any here, they are from somewhere else. The Gulf Coast is know for shrimp, red snapper, grouper, crab - all warm water. I probably forgot some - but those are what I typically purchase at the fish market.

BigMikefromTexas Posted April 23, 2016 #3 Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) There are several restaurants that have fine Scallops on their menus. The most notable restaurant is Rudy and Paco's. Fine Dining on the south edge of the Stand (Post Office Street). It can also be found at Willie G's and I would say that the served product is about a tie between the two in terms of quality. Rudy and Paco's is fine Dining. Reservations recommended. Willie G's is upscale dining. It also can be found at Blvd Seafood. Casual. However Galveston Cruiser was correct, scallops are not local. While I understand the appeal of Scallops, try some gulf shrimp, redfish or grouper. Edited April 23, 2016 by BigMikefromTexas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbgd Posted April 28, 2016 #4 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Olympia Grill pier21 has had raw scallops on the Half shell that were awesome Had them several times over the last few years but last time we were down there it wasn't on the menu SO it might be a seasonal thing:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
