Quality Seafood Market

Mmmmmmmm they had 1.50 oysters on some from prince edward island and the gulf! The food was so yummy spot was super laid back and casual great spot for friends and family to come and dine and eat not really a fancy date spot....but a delicous eat your face off!

The shrimp salad was delicious and the portion was perfectfor a light lunch. It was just spicy enough and the bots of celery, pickle/dill and boiled eggs was amazing. The shrimp PoBoy was crispy and paired well with the roumelade/ come back sauce. Very casual seated yourself setting added to the casual relaxed yet vibrant atmosphere. There was a bar and many were enjoying the many seafood dish options.

This is a seafood restaurant and a fish market. The food was good and plentiful. Lots of seating. A little confusing in that you get your drinks and napkins at one station and the utensils and condiments from a station on the other side of the seating area. They have several freezers wof fish including cooked octopus legs. Finally there is a good-sized fresh fish market. If I heard correctly you can take it with you or they can cook it for you.

Honestly this place is a Austin institution. The food is made fresh to order, and if you ask nicely, they will cook specialty items too. For example that nice fish you ordered....you want it blacked instead of fried...probably can be done if you aren't a prick. 😉 The food is always delicious and I've never had anything that wasn't just really tasty for what it was.

Everyone loves visiting a new and shiny restaurant.  It's a great place to see and be seen.  There are craft cocktails, trendy food dishes and a decor that will provide perfect selfies for your Instagram or Facebook account (depending upon your age). Quality Seafood is not new (87-years-old founded in 1938), it's ambiance isn't sexy or hip and it smells fishy. That's actually a good thing.  Another good thing is their food.  Actually, it's kinda great! Going to Quality for the first time might confuse many people.  Is it a restaurant?  Is it a bar? Or, is it a seafood market? Yes. If you want some direction on how to approach this unique space, I suggest starting at the bar for happy hour.  It's a blue collar joint, so maybe order a beer ($2) or a glass of wine ($6). Think basic cockta
