We have friend in town for short visit. She loves soft shell crabs. Went to Capt. Eddy's in Venice last night. Not that I pressed with it befor but was closest to the house when we decided to go out.
It was not a good experience.....lobster bisque was lumpy w/ undissolved flour bumps and like warm...flounder we had broiled had bones it in...and soft shell crabs that were supposed to be "lightly" breaded were not...

Used to go to Spanish Point but quality there had dropped significantly when we went last fall so haven't been back this summer...

Any other suggestions in Venice/Osprey/south Sarasota area...
We don't care to drive too far normally...

I would really like to bite into some great softshell crab, so I'm curious too. Where's our resident foodie when we need him? I haven't seen, Rushmore, around these parts in ages.

There is a Japanese place at UTC mall. I had the soft shell crabs and they were exquisite. The food travels around on a track. Fun and delicious.

The beach house restaurant has excellent soft shell crab, but that's on Anna Maria island. If you care to go, it's worth it.
