Alby's Seafood

Don't have food. But nice people. Fresh sea food ......... Wish they had food ......... .....

Fresh!!! Friendly, great recommendations. We stayed in Rockport for a month. Bought fish a few times, always fresh, fair prices. Gave us great recommendations on restaurants as well. We told everyone we could this was the place to get your fish!

The people are just not very nice, so they do not need our business. They can't be bothered over the past 5 1/2 years to bring back the po-boys (which were good). Everything there now is frozen. The live crawfish is wildly overpriced. No mas.

the packaged oysters had no flavor at all. tiny flat oysters, tasted like Rockport tap water. We bought lbs of large shrimp cuz the medium and smalls shrimps were not looking so fresh. This time around the staff was pretty nice, our last visit not so much. this place needs a cleanup, it was a bit stinky. In the future we might stop for shrimp. we will never get oysters from here again

Fresh seafood and market prices with easy access on highway. Good to support small local businesses

Alby's Seafood is right off Hwy 35 and has good parking. It's a small store with fresh seafood and some items in refrigerators. They had 16/20 shrimp for under $10 a pound. And fresh fish filets on ice. The rock crab claws, oysters, scallops and chowder were in the refrigerators. This is a very reliable business for your seafood needs. The lady at the counter was very patient as I asked the prices on everything I saw. I ended up with red snapper filets and jumbo shrimp. It was very easy to cook up at home on this rainy "not much to do" kinda day. The store is in Fulton, the small town next to Rockport Texas. Population 1,358.

I drove by this place the first day I was in Rockport. I saw the take out window on the side, and thought it might be more than just a seafood market. I looked at it here on Yelp and saw that, at one time, the oyster po boys were considred really good. I also saw that there was a possibility that they no longer had them. I decided it was worth a chance, since I had a serious fried oyster craving happening the entire time I was in Rockport.I went on the second day of my visit. Unfortunately, they do not po boys any longer. Also, when you are close up to the take out window, you can read the sign that says they no longer use the window.Undaunted, I went inside to see what they did have. I saw some of the biggest shrimp I have ever seen. They were the size of prawns! I went ahead and bought a pound of them. They lady working the counter was really friendly and helpful. She asked if I wanted them on ice. I hadn't even considered the fact that I was not going to get back to my camper at Goose Island State Park for at least an hour. I told her ice would be good, and she really did a great job of packing it all up for me. I set it on the floor under the back seat of my truck and went to lunch.Surprisingly, when I got back to my camper, very little of the ice had melted, even though it was a scorcher of a day in Rockport. I realized I didn't have a pot to cook them in. Yep, I hadn't thought that through either. I went on the internet and found a recipe for steaming them in the microwave. Thinking I was wasting some really great shrimp, I followed the instructions. Let me tell you... Those shrimp were cooked to perfection. They were quite possibly the best steamed shrimp I have ever eaten. I iced them back down and put them in the fridge, but kept going back and eating a few more until they were all gone.Next time I am in town, I am going to bring an ice chest and fill it up with all kinds of fresh sea food at Alby's to take back to San Antonio with me.

I bought an $85 gal of oysters in this place yesterday because it was the only place in Rockport I could find any.They were selling a "light" Fallon for $85 not a 7lb gallon. I decided to open the container before I left and the whole top was full of ice, not oysters. The two people start pacing around and the guy says these are fresh , I just shucked today .Ok so here's the deal , you throw a bunch of fresh oysters in tap water and they will puff up and suck up water to increase their volume, which theses were.Total BS , I got prob an honest half gallon.Don't go here, they are scamming you.Turns out the bay has been closed by the state health and these are most likely from frozen stock or a bandit source.

Not a true fish market. No fresh fish for sale. What is in their freezer looks to have build up of ice/freezer burn.

Maybe this place is okay for PO'boys, but I don't know. That wasn't open. We got a recommendation to try this place from a local fishing guide. Maybe it's good for oysters. I don't know.What it's not good for is what's on its website. They advertise they have catfish. They don't. It's out of date. They didn't have red fish or trout, what's running right now. They did have some shrimp, and we got them. They shriveled up very small. We also tried the stone crabs and they were awful. The one star is for the crabs. Oh, and the smell. We shouldn't have bought anything after smelling that place.
