Captain Brian's Seafood Market & Restaurant 8421 North Tamiami Trail, Sarasota, FL 34243

"The food here is terrible. Fries- labeled as steak fries but definitely wedge fries and every side of fries was drenched in grease and cold. Lobster bisque- luke warm and not great. Lobster roll- hard to tell if your biting into celery or more shells. So much of both in there who knows, also it was pretty small but don't worry you won't want more. Steamed clams- Full of sand they clearly don't know to filter them. Calamari- overcooked and chewy Fried shrimp- overcooked and chewy. Waitress was friendly and fast. Cool fish tank."

"A locally owned and operated seafood restaurant serves the among the most delicious meals I’ve had to date! When with the seafood mushroom soup to star with which was phenomenal! Next was a local fresh fish served blackened, one of my favorite dishes. Service was outstanding. They mentioned nothing is delivered, frozen only fresh fish brought in daily. Make this a stop when you’re in the area as you won’t be disappointed."

"Amazing experience, my server was absolutely awesome; brought me out two sweet teas immediately so I had enough drink. I’ve had snow crab legs in Alaska and the ones I got from here totally beat those out. So good all around and highly recommended!"

"Best seafood offerings in the area! Made a second visit with four friends. All were very happy with the menu offerings and the delicious seafood. They loved the dining atmosphere and the display of fresh wild caught delicacies of the sea! We all shall return with others to discover the treasures of the sea! Dorothy is a very excellent waitress! A third dining experience with friends. The lunch included the delicious seafood chowder, shrimp salad plated with various goodies, the fried oysters, calamari, and the tuna steak sandwich; ate all but the plates! Waitress Karen gave us excellent service! Check out the fresh seafood market section!"
