At Veronica Fish and Oyster, crustaceans and mollusks never get the short end of the stick, with preparations miles above the peel-and-eat variety. Currently on the raw bar menu you'll find a shrimp and scallop ceviche served unlike any of Veronica's other crudos. The pink shrimp blanched and scallops milky white and sliced raw, the mild sea creatures loll in and out of a chilled, creamy coconut milk broth. Garnished with apricot-orange kumquats and a house-made green curry paste with lemongrass, garlic and shallots, the dish harkens to Thai sweetness with a dose of tropical citrus acidity. Order it before the menu changes—it's worth the trip.
Veronica Fish & Oyster, 1830 South Osprey Ave., Sarasota, 941-366-1342.
