Even though most folks only think of steak at Bohanan's, (e. houston st) they have some great seafood too - try their grilled jumbo shrimp, and their red snapper was great tasting.

The Sandbar at the Pearl Brewery. It's owned by the chef who ran and owned Le Reve. By far, it's the finest seafood restaurant in town.

I agree that Bohanan's does just about everything well, including seafood. Watermark Grill does a good job on a lot of its seafood. I'm not a huge fan of Wildfish. I find they just fuss with good seafood and forget that simple preparations are best.

A couple of places that have some outstanding seafood dishes: Bistro Vatel (www.bistrovatel.com) serves an incredible old-fashioned Dover Sole; Frederick's (www.frederickssa.com) does French-Asian fusion right and features an array of brilliant seafood dishes; Le Midi (www.lemidirestaurant.com) downtown has several sublime dishes.

If you want a hole in the wall with wonderful seafood, try El Bucanero, an amazing place that serves seafood in the style of a Mexican coastal state. Their best plates are huge and best enjoyed with some friends. It's on S. WW White road.

Hope this helps. Let us know what you try and your thoughts on where you went.
Precious b...the one on Culebra is the best of all the locations.

LN,
When I went there (way before Gulf oil spills and such) I ordered the oysters.
They came to me kinda cooked on the outside (fried) and practically frozen on the inside.

Definitely weren't fresh and seemed a tad stale with the breading.

Turned me off entirely.

I say Bayseas on W.W.White and Neptunes On Goliad,J.Anthonys on Presa are among the top
