SAN ANTONIO - This week’s Blue Plate Award features seafood with pizazz. It’s a family chain with seven locations and its roots run deep here in San Antonio.

It’s a lobster extravaganza at Sea Island with serious seafood made by a family with Greek roots. They have seven locations but it’s the I-10 location that won this week’s award for keeping its kitchen squeaky clean and that’s no small accomplishment

“It’s an absolute group effort if everyone is not on their top of the game, then it doesn’t happen,” said Barkley Anthony, CEO of Sea Island Restaurants.

Sea Island first opened its doors in San Antonio in 1965, started by CEO Barkley Anthony’s father, but he says it was the meticulous eye of his mother that brought the business where it is today.

His grandfather was the first to open a restaurant here in San Antonio and now they are three generations of restauranteurs with a focus on quality.

“This is a family-owned business my grandfather started in 1912,” said Anthony.

Try the ceviche, fried fish filets, or the world-famous charbroiled shrimp, famous for their lemon pepper shrimp and shrimp and fish tacos at a reduced price on Taco Tuesday. They are now featuring lobster rolls and lobster mac and cheese, grilled cheese with a side of lobster bisque on their fall menu with all the sides.

“We’d like to thank our staff and guests for keeping the restaurant squeaky clean. We have been here for 60 years, and we still have guests who have been coming in for that amount of time,” said Anthony. “Super honored and thankful for the recognition.”

Thank you, Sea Island, for keeping your kitchen squeaky clean.
