Coco Crustacean
Hunting & Gathering
SRQ DAILY FRIDAY WEEKEND EDITION
FRIDAY SEP 9, 2016 |
BY AVIEL KANTER
Kacey's Seafood proves that you don't have to be overlooking the water to experience succulent seafood. A bit off the beaten path, but ideal for those who work or live on the east side of town, the hole-in-the-wall diner serves up consistently solid salty fare, with a menu steeped in classic ocean-side dishes—think fried clams, lobster rolls and fish tacos. No need to look at the menu—head straight for the coconut fried shrimp basket: the mega pink crustaceans are battered in just the right amount of coconut crisp, golden brown and steaming fresh. All the baskets come with a healthy portion of hush puppies, or fried balls of cornmeal—orbs of comforting pillowy corn cake hidden within a deep-fried crunchy crust. And don't hesitate to dunk both the shrimp and the pups in the orange horseradish sauce (or ask for a side of dill-heavy tartar).
Kacey's Seafood, 4904 Fruitville Rd., Sarasota, 941-378-3644.
