My family has visited Owen's Fish Camp for YEARS at their original location - a tried and true spot…read morethat will always have a long wait, but is well worth it. When I heard they opened a new location, not too far from the airport, we just had to check it out as soon as we landed. As always, the star of the show at Owen's is in their name: fish and seafood. You can't come here and NOT get seafood. Their catch of the day is always a favorite with my family, but my personal standout favorite is the clam chowder. It's addicting and packs a punch with the flavor. You really can't go wrong with anything ordered at Owen's Fish Camp - all the seafood is fresh and the service is always top tier. I love the elevated feel of this new location, fit with a stylish raw bar. You even get some amazing outdoor seating with beautiful views, AND there wasn't a wait when I visited. How can it get better than this?

I had the Florida Grouper for lunch, blackened, which came with a choice of salad and starch. I chose the Caesar salad and red skin potatoes. It also came with their vegetable of the day, which was tiny asparagus (my favorite). It also had a citrus butter sauce on the side, which was amazing! It honestly was just an overall awesome entree! The bartender, Jen, has such a great attitude and is the sole bartender for the entire restaurant. She worked effortlessly despite being absolutely slammed! She was amazing and made our experience great! We would definitely return if in the area again!

Walt's Fish Market Restaurant & Tiki Bar Atmosphere and…read moreService: We stopped by Walt's after a day at Siesta Key Beach and decided to sit outside at the tiki bar. The outdoor Tiki area wrapped around the building and had a fun, relaxed vibe that made a great first impression. Our waitress, Rhonda, was excellent. She was friendly, answered all our questions, and knew the menu inside and out. What We Ordered: * Clam Chowder * Lobster Bisque * Maine Lobster Dinner with Corn on the cob and Coleslaw * Phil's Steamer Pot with half Lobster, Corn on the cob, Potatoes, Andouille Sausage, Clams, and Mussels Food Highlights: The soups came out first, and both were excellent. The Clam Chowder was topped with Bacon and Chives. It was the best we've had since moving to Florida--rich, flavorful, and satisfying. The Lobster Bisque was Creamy and equally delicious, with great flavor and tasty pieces of Bread mixed in. Our entrées arrived quickly, and we loved both dishes. The Lobster was cooked perfectly in both meals, and everything in Phil's Steamer Pot was hot, well-seasoned, and full of flavor. My wife, who is from Maine, said it was the best Lobster she has had in this area. Even the sides--the Corn on the cob and Coleslaw--were very good, and the Beer was served ice cold. One more thing each table featured a fish dip and crackers--an extra touch we really enjoyed. Fish Market and Final Verdict: Before leaving, we stepped inside to look at the Fish Market and were impressed by how fresh everything looked. The selection was large and added even more to the overall experience. This place was a pleasant surprise and delivered across the board with great Service, Food, Drinks, and Atmosphere. It easily ranks among my top 10 places to visit in the Sarasota area, and I can't wait to go back. For me, Walt's Fish Market earns 5 out of 5 stars. Gulf Coast Terry

Went there last night. Place was hopping, fast service, our…read moreserver Hudson was very attentive, Kudos to him, nice to see a smiling and aware attendant. However, I feel $39 for a dozen of, very very small, Parmesan garlic oysters on the half shell very expensive. I'm not a big guy, and I personally could've eaten four dozen at those sizes plus my own entree. Overall for two entrees, two local beers, and one appetizer the bill was $135. Quite a bit steep for the amounts served. Kind of the amounts and prices I'd expect to see somewhere not near the ocean like Atlanta. Would I go there again, meh, not impressed enough. My rating would be 7/10. Going elsewhere this evening.

We ordered the shot honey grouper sandwich, bang bang shrimp fries, fried shrimp and grouper bites. Three were weekend specials for $9.99. That price and quality cannot be beat! The hot honey grouper was awesome. Very nice filet of grouper with hot honey on it. Sweet, spicy and freshly cooked. 10/10. Fries were freshly fried and had a nice seasoning. Great meal. My son had the grilled grouper bites. They were cooked perfectly and he devoured them. 2 thumbs up! Other son had the shrimp basket. Fried shrimp were juicy and crispy. Not over battered. Great taste and another 2 thumbs up. Bang bang shrimp fries were really good. Not hot but had great flavor. Fries had a ton of bacon and that yummy sauce drizzled over them. Would get again. 9/10. Easy to find, plenty of parking. Nice outdoor area with about 6 tables. Service was friendly and quick. Price was great for fresh seafood. We drove about 30 minutes and it was worth the drive!

I gone to Ruskin Seafood Shack twice to pick up food. The seafood is good, but we're not big fans…read more The blackened grouper sandwich was tasty enough, but the bottom bun was swimming in liquid. It was very hard to eat it as sandwich. The side red potatoes were a step up from coleslaw. We also tried the lobster roll on an earlier visit. It was bland to OK, but definitely not a price performer. We absolutely love the Ruskin Seafood Market for fresh fish. Very good selection and I guess ultimately we prefer to fix our own seafood.

There was a short wait to be seated, enough time for us to go back to the courtyard and listen to some live music. I had already checked out the menu and knew what I wanted, which was helpful once we were seated in a somewhat dark dining room. They offer more than seafood, but I wanted seafood. They have a Naked Fish section where they offer a few types of fish with many preparation choices. In the end my wife and I both decided on their less expensive Camp Basket and splurged on both a Clam Chowder and a Camp Salad. The chowder was delicious. The serving size was really not large enough to share but we did, and left me wanting more. The salad was fine. The basket was larger than it first appeared with lots of thin cut fries at the bottom. The several pieces of fried oysters and shrimp were flavorful. The basket also had small bites of okra and a fillet of a lightly breaded white fish. Too much food for my wife, enough to fill me up. My plan to try a dessert faded away. Once we paid we headed back to the courtyard to listen to more music before heading out. A very good meal and a pleasant evening, who could ask for more.

Service is great, we have had the same male server the past two times we have been there. Not pictured is their key lime pie, which is my favorite in town!

I enjoy the outdoor seating the best when the weather is not too hot. Now that we have a baby the stroller fits better at the outdoor table. We come here every time we are in town and will always return.
