On the corner of Nacogdoches, and Naco-Perrin, is a small Mexican seafood place.I think Puerta Vallarta Seafood?, and they have the best fried Shrimp in SA. If you like Catfish...superb!, many different menu items, incl Oysters, Cajun dishes, and Mexican Food! Very reasonable prices too.

Clear Springs restaurant (Lp 1604 bet. Stone Oak and 281 - inside Loop) for great Shrimp and Catfish...and Onion Rings!!!)

Pappadeaux seafood is ok.
I find their food to be too greasy & over cooked.
Watermark @1604 & Stone Oak has good sea food.
If you don't mind paying for quality, you can't beat Wildfish Seafood Grill on 1604 and Huebner. Some of the freshest and best quality ingredients, cooked simply, and oftentimes grilled on their wood-fire grill. Their shrimp cocktail comes with a SPICY cocktail sauce that will knock your sinuses for a loop but it is so good. I've tried their ahi tuna and their crab-stuffed shrimp and both are top notch. Just be forewarned, with apps, entree, and dessert you can easily blow about $50 a person. But worth every penny of it.

Wildfish is nice. It's a hot spot to pick up some fine looking men or women.
The food is good but exspensive.

I was just at The Palm this week. Easy $$ but dam, i think i've had my share of lobster for a year... lets go!!
joes is good but a chain... i if you are looking to splurge i would say la pesca pn the river walk i had the best sea food ever there but it is pricey to say the least

If you are ever in Austin they have a good seafood spot on 6th St called The Boiling Pot. Some good eating and not to pricey! Bon Apetit.
