Guide Review - Water Street Market Seafood Company

Water Street Market Seafood Company and its sister restaurant the Water Street Oyster Bar (which is located right next door and offers the same menu) are among the best seafood restaurants along the Texas Gulf Coast.

Although it is best known for seafood, Water Street Market actually has a diverse menu that includes chicken and steak dishes as well as burgers. That said, seafood is the big draw and Water Street Market does an excellent job of preparing and presenting a number of unique seafood entrees. The Embrochette Platter, Pecan Crusted Fried Shrimp, and Shrimp Enchiladas are just a few of the delectable choices on the menu.

Water Street Market also offers a variety of soups, salads and appetizers that diners aren't likely to come across elsewhere. Their Caldo Xochitl is a wonderful Mexican soup, while their Barbecue Salmon Salad puts a Texas spin on grilled salmon. The Seafood Quesadillas and Pecan Crusted Oysters are among the most popular appetizers. Sushi fans will also be impressed with the wide variety of rolls offered at Water Street Market.

And, for families worried about feeding the little ones, don't worry. Water Street Market Seafood Company offers a full kids' menu, making it possible for even the youngest diners to enjoy a meal at one of Corpus Christi's finest restaurants.
