Captain Brian's Seafood Market & Restaurant

Friendly atmosphere. Drinks were always refilled, kids enjoyed watched the fish swim in the large tank while we ate, lots of choices on the menu. When we were seated they took our drink order which saved time and we noticed everyone worked well together. We purchased a slice of key lime pie to go and it was good. My husband said the Rueben was really good , of course I didn’t get a picture

Greeted at the door, shown to our huge booth with a ton of legroom and table so we weren't elbow to elbow. Water all around and a pint for Ma after two minutes. Generous portions. Swordfish was grilled PERFECTLY: juicy, excellent grill marks and warm till the end. If Brian's simply switches out the cool-white Kelvins Leds for warmer tones, this would really off set the whole dining area. First visit and I'll be back. Excellent swordfish there Gustafson.

We ate dinner at Captain Brian’s last week. We met our friends there. I had the Ipswich Whole Bellied Fried Clams they came with potato wedges and cole slaw. Though my clams tasted good they were room temperature even though the potatoes were warm. My husband had the Fish and Chips again though tasty the fish was room temperature it also came with warm potato wedges and cole slaw. One of our friends got the Lobster Special which she said it was very good along with a side of mashed potatoes. Lastly her husband had the Char, which he said was between a white fish and a salmon and was delicious. The Char came with potato wedges and cole slaw.

We really liked this place. We went on a Saturday at noon and were seated right away. It's got a nice atmosphere, great food, efficient service and reasonable prices. Plus you can buy fresh seafood from their market which is part of the restaurant. We stopped for lunch and had a variety of fish sandwiches which averaged $23 each. Helen, our server, was courteous and efficient. We had eaten dinner here last year and this time we were here for lunch so the menu didn't include many of the things that are on their bigger dinner menu. They have a full bar and parking is free in their lot. If you go for lunch, check out the bakery next door but if you go for dinner it will probably be closed.

Captain Brian's Seafood Market is a true gem! This place is a fantastic discovery for the whole family. We thoroughly enjoyed a delicious meal and exceptional service. Anabel made us feel right at home, and we loved it so much that we came back the very next day! Highly recommended!! One of Sarasota's best! PS. You gotta try their Key lime pie, it’s delicious!!!
