Hey Allen, welcome. I guess the first question to ask is in which part of town are you currently living? As the best seafood is found over in Clear Lake and Galveston areas - fresh from the Gulf and easy to buy in bulk from the area shrimpers/processors. However, if you live in Cypress that may not be an easy trip for you. In that case you may be better off buying at one of the nicer area grocers?

mollusk Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I've found that some of the Asian markets can have a pretty good selection of fresh shrimp (and other fish and seafood). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brhaltx Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Kemah (there are many places...) or Dickinson. Hillman's in Dickinson has been there forever, and own their own boats. http://hillmansseafoodmarket.com/ They do oysters too, in season. Last week, they had live crab, live crawfish (I don't think they caught those...), a couple of kinds of fish, shrimp (~$8/pound for the biggest (whole), I think), crab ($1 each).

skwatra Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Isn't all the shrimp frozen on the boat after they are caught then just thawed out the day they are sold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brhaltx Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Grocery store shrimp is (usually?) "previously frozen"; I doubt that Hillman's (and hopefully the places in Kemah, if they own their own boats) freezes what they sell in their own store.
