Fish and Camarón

She said over time they were catering for coaches’ luncheons and delivering food to many people. It served as their cue to make the decision to move their business to where they live. That was more than three years ago.

“We live here in The Woodlands, and that was the main reason to start something here,” Garcia-Casas said. “We like The Woodlands because The Woodlands likes us.”

Everything at Fish and Camarón, from the tostadas and tortillas to the restaurant’s 15 homemade sauces is made from scratch with recipes created by Tron and Garcia-Casas. The recipes stem from their traditions, Tron said.

In their cooking the couple emphasizes constancia, the practice of making sure the food remains consistent.

“You don’t need to be in a three-star Michelin restaurant to have nice food on your plate,” Tron said. “Something that we try to have here is to have everything the same each time. From three years ago and now the same food, the same quality—it’s always the same.”

Garcia-Casas said the restaurant is named after a company he used to own in Mexico. Camarón is Spanish for “shrimp.”

“We used to have a fish and shellfish distribution business in Mexico, and that was the name,” he said. “Originally, the idea behind the name [Fish and Camarón]—in Mexico, we had the best local and international products. That’s why we used the two languages in the name.”

Most ordered by customers:

• Ceviche (fish cooked in lime juice), either in cocktail or tostada
