Rooted in Port Isabel for four generations

Texas Wild Seafood is the farmers market side of a family story built on working boats, Gulf water, and a deep respect for the catch.

The Pockrus family and the Gulf

For four generations, the Pockrus family has worked in the shrimping industry. Through every season, our boats have docked in Port Isabel, Texas, near the southern tip of the state where the Gulf shapes daily life.

That history is more than a line on a label. It is practical knowledge passed from one generation to the next: how to work with changing water and weather, how to handle seafood with care, and how to respect the people who want to know where their food comes from.

What that history means at the market

Wild caught

Everything we sell is wild caught. Our Gulf shrimp come from the waters at the center of our family’s working life.

Clear answers

Ask what came in, how to store it, or how to cook it. We want you to leave confident about the seafood you are taking home.

A shorter path

We bring seafood from the boats and trusted wild catch sources to the farmers market, keeping the story and handling easier to understand.
