Looking for the best stuffed Flounder available. Have always loved Gaido's but they no longer have one even with special order. Will be there Sunday night and need suggestions. Prefer a nice place, anniversery deal. Thanks.

Galveston Seafood

Gonna be in Galveston for a couple days. Always liked Gaido's but wondering if there is another place of like quality. I know there was a couple other places but have been told the storms and Covid have killed them off. Suggestions?

That said, this place is not on the island but it is quite fancy by our standards.

There's 2 different restaurants posted above.
 
Topwater Grill in San Leon has a really good stuff flounder - it’s what I order when I go there. It’s not on the Island, but not far and is really good.

We ate our fresh caught trout there Saturday. It's excellent but I never looked at the menu and don't know if they have flounder. Ask for the "drunken" sauce.

Highly recommended.

They have stuffed flounder and do it well. And yes, if you bring your fresh caught fish, they will prepare it for you however you want it cooked.
 
Casey’s has been my go too on the coast , only eat shellfish so I don’t know what else they have Repca‘s in the rice fields is the worlds best so it’s been years since I’ve been to the coast .
 
Seafood in Galveston has taken a nose dive over the past 24 months. I usually ride through every other weekend or so but I don't eat there anymore. They all crowed, slow and the seafood is never fresh caught. I recommend the Winnie or Angleton areas on either end of the route for good food.

The greater Galveston area and the 45 south area restaurants are garbage.

The black pearl is also an excellent restaurant/bar. It has flounder listed at market price in the menu. I’ve tried several different parts of their offerings, and would make that my regular haunt if I was still near the island. Their shrimp is to die for.
 
No stuffed flounder, but we have been enjoying BLVD Seafood in Galveston.
 
Made it to the Black Pearl Sunday evening. Didn't get the stuffed flounder I had planned on but we still had a great meal. I had the cold shrimp salad and wife had the shrimp etouffee. Both were awesome. Both were enough food for 2-3 grownups without question. A person we talked to in one of the shops on the Strand told us the portions were huge and she was very correct. Then this morning we had a late breakfast at the Sumflower which was also awesome. We NEVER visit Galveston without a visit there. When leaving I picked up a $45 Italian cream cake,,,its that good. Big hunk of that will be my supper in just a few minutes. We had a great time and next time we will spend two nights so we can make another trip to the BP and try something else . For us, the meals were a total win.

That sounds amazing. If either of you like po-boys, I think I counted close to fourty shrimp on mine last time I went. Their portions are unbelievable.
