T.p. Seafood Menu

T.P. Seafood at 3735 Reed Rd brings together the feel of a neighborhood seafood market and a casual Houston takeout favorite. The menu centers on generously portioned fried seafood, with fish, shrimp, oysters, stuffed shrimp, popcorn shrimp, seafood boils, and fresh whole fish that can be selected and cooked to order. Fried, boiled, broiled, and blackened preparations add variety, while shrimp fried rice and the locally popular Monk Rice provide hearty accompaniments.

Standouts include Monk Rice with shrimp, fried catfish, jumbo shrimp, whole fried snapper, and fish-and-shrimp combinations. Guests frequently praise the seafood for arriving fresh, crisp, and well seasoned, and the restaurant's "pick it and fry it" approach is a particular draw. Prices are approachable, generally fitting the inexpensive $10-$20-per-person range, making the substantial combination plates especially appealing for value-conscious families and groups.

The seafood-heavy selection offers fewer obvious vegetarian choices, and diners with gluten sensitivities should confirm preparation details before ordering because fried foods dominate the menu. It is family-friendly and best suited to casual lunch, dinner, takeout, and larger group meals rather than breakfast.

Menu Highlights

Monk Rice with Shrimp
A longtime favorite combining savory, satisfying rice with plump shrimp. Its distinctive flavor and generous serving make it one of the restaurant's most frequently praised choices.

Fried Catfish
Tender catfish gains a crisp, seasoned exterior from frying, creating the classic contrast seafood lovers look for. It is a dependable choice for a traditional Southern-style seafood meal.

Whole Fried Snapper
Fresh whole snapper is fried until crisp outside while retaining its moist, flaky character. Selecting fresh fish and having it cooked to order gives this dish particular appeal.

5 Pieces Fish + 15 Shrimp
This substantial combination delivers both flaky fried fish and juicy shrimp in one order. The generous quantity makes it particularly attractive for sharing or hearty appetites.

Jumbo Shrimp
Large shrimp provide a firm, succulent bite and pair naturally with the restaurant's fried seafood sides. Their size makes them a satisfying upgrade for shrimp fans.

Popcorn Shrimp
Small, bite-sized shrimp offer plenty of crispy texture in an easy-to-share format. They work especially well as a casual snack, side, or family-friendly seafood choice.
