Seafood Restaurant · Universal City, TX
Hand-breaded catfish, shrimp, and oysters fried fresh to order, plus a seafood gumbo regulars swear by. Simple, generous plates served with real hospitality.
Our Story
Bayseas started as a small seafood counter and grew into a Universal City staple by keeping the menu honest: fish breaded thin and fried to order, never soggy, never skimpy. Guests describe the fried catfish as some of the best they've had — light, shatteringly crisp breading wrapped around fresh, flaky fish — and the seafood gumbo as rich and deeply flavorful, the kind of dish people order seconds of just to take home.
The dining room is small and unpretentious, with a friendly, playful staff that treats regulars like family. Guests have followed Bayseas from its earlier Converse location, and it shows in the loyalty: fair prices, a military discount, and servers who remember your order. Whether you're stopping in for a quick lunch special or loading up a family-size to-go order, the goal is the same every time — fresh seafood, fried right, served fast.

"Wooooow! This was easily the best fried catfish I have ever had. The breading was seasoned to perfection and had that ideal, light-yet-shatteringly-crisp crunch that didn't feel greasy at all. The gumbo was another standout — rich, deeply flavorful, and loaded with the good stuff."
