The Fresh Catch Fish Market & Grill is a bit off the beaten path, but a treasure to find! We had fresh grouper fish tacos (both grilled and blackened) and several jumbo Stone Crab Don't forget to try the homemade Key Lime Pie-- not too sweet, and not too tart!

I got the snow crab, and it was amazing, possibly best crab legs I’ve ever had. The lobster roll was also phenomenal. I would come back again, and would say best, fresh seafood in the Siesta Key area. Hidden gem for sure.

Amazing food! The waitress was very nice in helping me choose my fish as it was mostly new to me. The fish sandwich and roasted potatos were delicious. The key lime pie was the perfect desert. Would come back in a heartbeat!

We've gone to Fresh Catch many times, since my mom moved to the immediate area. While I'll come back to the food in just a moment, I want to highlight the level of customer service at this place. When you go, ask for Vanessa to help you. She's absolutely amazing. We had her as our server about 8 months ago. Not only did Vanessa remember us today, but she also asked my oldest how her overnight camp was. She literally remembered a short discussion we had 8 months ago. When someone and a place is so detailed that they can recall such small interactions, you know that the place is other worldly. It is rare to find people that are such active listeners in the fast paced environment of a restaurant. Bravo, Vanessa! You're a gem! As for the food, it's great! The seafood is extremely fresh; you can tell since it's in a case for everyone to see from the dining area. But, the is the secret star of the menu. Lastly, the Key Lime Pie is straight . Key Lime Pie is one of my favorite desserts, so I've had a lot of it over the years. This is by far the best I've ever had.

Great cute local place! Great tasting fresh seafood. Party of 4 and we all enjoyed it very much. Will return! The crab BLT is delicious along with the grouper wrap, fish tacos and fish sandwiches. Many fish options to choose from. A must try!

We had a wonderful server Vanessa, and the grouper sandwich and crab sandwich were very good! Bathrooms were clean. Key lime was good! The sides were ok.

I have never eaten here, but I come at least a couple of times a week for fresh fish to cook at home. Without fail, everyone in the store is welcoming and friendly. When I ask for a certain weight of fish, that is exactly what I am given, not an extra quarter or half pound that drives up the price. It is cut, skinned, or prepared any other way I request, all with smiles and willingness to please the customer. There is always a wide variety of fresh fish available, and everything I have tried has been delicious! By the way, parking is always available, unlike other fish stores I have visited. In my opinion, this is the best (and only) place to purchase fresh fish in Sarasota!
