"Star Fish Company is technically over 100 years old, getting its start in the 1920s from owner Judge Millis before it was purchased by the Garner family in the 1950s. It remained with them until 1996, when it was sold to current owner Karen Bell. Although it functions as a bustling restaurant, Star Fish Company earned its land legs as a seafood market selling fresh-caught seafood from the Sarasota Bay and didn't open the restaurant addition until the '90s."
