Fresh Seafood - Burnet Farmers Market

[rudeboy]

I just got back from the Burnet Rd Farmer's Market. There is a seafood vendor there now.....he trucks fresh, never frozen, seafood in from his contacts in Kemah. I bought four pounds of cleaned blue crab - they sell blue crab in two pound bags for $8. They also have fresh snapper (filet and whole), whole flounder, and shrimp with heads and without. Oysters should come next week. There were some other items that I can't remember. Everything smelled great.

So, if you need some fresh seafood, this is the spot.

Thank you for the tip rudeboy!

Do you know if he is there on Thursdays too as well as Saturdays?

You are welcome! I didn't specifically ask about Thursdays, but I don't think so. I think that he doesn't make his run to the coast until Friday.

Great news! How does the pricing look for the head-on fish? :)

[rudeboy]

Looks to be the same as any other fish market in town. I didn't look at the whole snapper to see how big it was; I think that they wanted $14 for a whole snapper and flounder. I saw the flounder - it was pretty big.
