Quality Seafood Market

Seafood restaurant, retail fish market, and Seafood Club — open since 1938.

Quality Seafood Market has operated since 1938, starting as a stall in a produce market and growing into a seafood restaurant, retail fish market, and wholesale operation. The restaurant is open Wednesday through Saturday and serves dine-in and takeout, with counter ordering and table service. The retail fish market runs the same days from 10:30 AM to 5 PM, selling fresh and frozen seafood to cook at home. The menu includes items like fish tacos, fried oysters, clam chowder, clam baskets, and boiled lobster, alongside Gulf and East Coast oysters on the half shell. We also offer a Seafood Club subscription through Table22 with member perks, plus catering for events ranging from crawfish boils to weddings — including from a food truck. Wholesale accounts are available as well.

The website states that seafood is flown in fresh daily. The history of the business reflects a longstanding focus on sourcing both local Texas seafood — including Gulf oysters, Texas drum, shrimp, and crawfish — and seafood from farther waters such as Alaska (salmon, halibut). East Coast oysters also appear on the menu and specials. The founders' original business model was built around hauling seafood directly from the Texas coast to Austin.
