Recently, on a beautiful sunny afternoon, our family made an afternoon trip an hour south of Houston to Galveston Island.\u00a0 Our mission was to bid farewell to the Disney Magic as it left the Port of Galveston for the last time.\u00a0 As we waved good-bye to the ship, we decided to stop in at a long time favorite restaurant of mine, Fisherman\u2019s Wharf, located at 2200 Harborside Drive, for a late afternoon snack.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Nestled between the historic 1910 Galveston Cruise Terminal and the Tall Ship Elissa, Fisherman\u2019s Wharf offers both indoor and outdoor dining options.\u00a0 The outdoor dining area is perfect for watching cruise ships, boats, and even dolphins go by.\u00a0 The interior is adorned with all kinds of \u201cnautical\u201d artwork and unique creations.\u00a0 This island jewel is a feast for the eyes as well as the stomach!\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0Their indoor dining areas are perfect on a hot Texas day.<\/p>\n

Our snack adventure began with a Fisherman\u2019s Wharf specialty \u2013 Shrimp Kisses.\u00a0 This heavenly creation is a Gulf shrimp, stuffed with jalapeno jack cheese, wrapped in bacon and fried and served on a bed of onion strings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our adventure continued with the Galveston Trio: seafood stuffed jalapenos, shrimp kisses (because there can never be too many!), and crab queso with chips.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fisherman\u2019s Wharf also offers a kids menu with seafood options in addition to the typical cheese burger, chicken strips, and grilled cheese sandwich.\u00a0 \u201cLittle Fishes\u201d as they are called on the menu, also have a choice of fried shrimp, fried chicken, fried shrimp, and fried fish.\u00a0 Our \u201cLittle Fish\u201d ordered the fried chicken and fried shrimp and promptly rated the fried shrimp \u201cGreat!\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fisherman\u2019s Wharf also offers a full menu of fresh Gulf Coast seafood and specialties.<\/p>\n

Galveston Island is located 40 miles south of Downtown Houston and is a historic gem that has been nearly swept into the ocean on several occasions.\u00a0 From historic homes and churches to the Strand shopping district, Galveston offers many different destinations for vacationers and locals alike to explore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
