Blue Water Seafood
6107 FM 1960 W, Houston, TX 77069 281-895-9222
Description: NORTH HOUSTON. Characterized as a crab shack, Blue Water is pleasantly relaxed and as casual as they come. Folks often stop in to linger over fresh seafood, and they drive in especially for spicy (seasonal) crawfish. You'll also discover garlicky Dungeness crabs, blueshell crabs, and delicious oysters, both raw and mesquite-roasted. If you're interested in more put-together fare, they serve a fisherman's platter and boiled dinners. TVs let you catch up with the world as you while away a few hours, and there's no better place to sit than at a picnic table on the porch.

Frenchie's Italian
1041 E NASA Rd 1, Houston, TX 77058-3308 281-486-7144
Description: CLEAR LAKE. This cheery Mediterranean-style café is family-owned and family-operated, and the two Caprisian brothers in charge make special efforts to see that patrons have a wonderful time. Although the intimate tables may be arranged a bit closely, delicious homestyle pasta dishes more than make up for any perceived loss of privacy. Fresh-from-the-Gulf seafood is the specialty and has been for almost 20 years. Friendly, professional service adds to the experience, and reasonable prices make Frenchie's a favorite. Space is limited, so expect long lines on weekends.

Fung's Kitchen

Description: SHARPSTOWN. Elegant Fung's has a built-in culinary niche with its Hong Kong-style preparation of impossibly fresh seafood. That's not to say that the kitchen is complacent.

Items you might consider include green mussels with black bean sauce, roast duck, sesame jellyfish, and squid with sate sauce. Less adventurous diners are pleased by customary beef, chicken, and pork dishes, along with a variety of noodle and rice options. Ideal for entertaining clients or special guests.
