The popular taco restaurant Fish Company Taco has reopened at 1914 23rd Street under new ownership, revitalizing the establishment renowned for its globally inspired seafood tacos. Raz Halili, the restaurateur responsible for Pier 6 Seafood & Oyster House in San Leon, has assumed ownership of the establishment following its abrupt closure in October 2023.
In 2018, chef Dayatra "Daya" Myers-Hurt and her wife Laura established Fish Company. The restaurant rapidly established a devoted following, frequently selling out of its delectable menu items. Nevertheless, Myers-Hurt elected to relinquish her role as restaurant manager to concentrate on her culinary interests without the constraints of business management. Halili contacted her after learning of the closure and extended an offer to purchase Fish Company, which included its cherished recipes.
Joe Cervantez, the executive chef and co-owner of Pier 6, and Lexy Garcia, the chef de cuisine, will support Halili in operating the restaurant. The team is dedicated to upholding Fish Company's legacy by maintaining the provision of fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from local fish markets, including a partnership with Katie's Seafood Market in Galveston.
Fish Company Taco endeavors to draw in returning patrons and newcomers by introducing a new bar and a revised menu. The restaurant's reopening signifies a new chapter, as it pledges to continue serving the same high-quality tacos that have made it a beloved destination in Galveston.
