Some of the freshest seafood in town is available at Quality Seafood on Airport Boulevard. This Austin institution has been selling seafood since 1938! It’s gotta be one of the oldest companies in town. Something most people don’t know is that they have a kitchen on premises. Some of the freshest gumbo, creole and etoufee are available for very reasonable prices and it is a favorite lunch spot when on that part of town. Of course if you don’t mind something quite unhealthy their fried fish platter is wonderful.
Quality Seafood Market (512) 454-5827, 5621 Airport Blvd, Austin, TX 78751
I’d agree that it’s all fresh and tasty down at Quality Seafood, but if you are specifically looking for the best gumbo, creole and etoufee try Sambet’s (N183, Next to Big Lots). Only problem is price and, last time I checked, no credit cards.
