Hey Fellers,

I realize that's a large area, but good food is good reason to travel. So where do the locals go?

Thanks!

I like Fins , Mobey Dicks or the Crazy Cajun in Port A, in rockport try the Boiling Pot. Or in Aransas Pass the Big Fisherman is pretty popular. Don't know about Corpus , I usually just stick to the island.

Snoopy's - Redfish (Cash only)
Republic of Texas - Steaks
Water Street Seafood - Overall just plain good

In Port Aransas: The Pasta Shell or Venetian Hotplate. The VH is very good, but a little pricy. Trout Street is good, but not always consistant. I've had a similar experience at Castaways.

In CC: For BBQ I like Silverados a lot. Somebody already mentioned Waterstreet. There's also Catfish Charlies. For Mexican food try La Playa.

In Rockport there's Alice Faye's for seafood and steak. That's where the locals go. For Mexican food you must go to Los Comales.

In Odem (that's about 17 miles West of CC) there's the Railroad Station. Their onion rings order looks like a cake (it's so big) and their avocado salad with crab meat will astound you. It's a great place for seafood.

I can't even remember the name of the Mexican restaurant I'm going to recommend, but its at the edge of Rockport when you're headed to Aransas Pass, on the LEFT side. It is a little place hidden (slightly) away under some big oaks, dirt parking I believe. It is one of those great places that doesn't look like much from either the outside or inside, but the folks are friendly and the food is great!

Half the time I can't remember the names of where I went, but I learn the locations and go back time after time. This is one of those places. If you speak Spanish they'll understand you perfectly; if you don't; they'll get by, and you'll get your food.

I'm starving now just thinking about it!!

I know those are lousy instructions, but if you find it, you won't regret the search.

In Port A, Pelican's Landing does a great job of cooking your catch. Best Wine selection in town.

Shrimp bonanza for two... massive amounts of shrimp.

There is (was) a small place in downtown Aransas Pass called The Welch Dragon. It's in one of the shopping centers right in DT, near the intersection of Tx35 and Tx361. It might not be there still, which is a shame as we visited there in October, 2007, which was opening weekend. It was up scale dining on the coast.
