Tipsy Tarpon Seafood Shack, Estero

Tipsy Tarpon Seafood Shack celebrates some of the ocean’s finest catches, not only in their hearty surf ‘n’ turf menu but also in a 16-foot saltwater aquarium that wide-eyed guests are free to investigate upon arrival. A culinary siren song of snow crab legs, oysters, and flaky whitefish rolled in macadamia nuts and panko breadcrumbs lure seafood lovers to the surf section of the menu, and the turf section vies for palate popularity with its Angus burger and pork loin slathered in island-style barbecue sauce. All dishes inspired by both land and sea assemble an artful arrangement of fresh ingredients—all of which were handpicked by the kitchen staff and have earned the squeal of approval from the kitchen dolphin.
