Connections with a coastal twist! 🌊

Crystal joined the Charlotte County Chamber of Commerce for its monthly Business Card Exchange at The Salty Tarpon. It was a great evening of networking, connecting with fellow Chamber members, and enjoying one of our local favorites!

We owe you an apology — you guys wiped us out!

The response to our All-You-Can-Eat Crab Legs last weekend was way bigger than we expected, and unfortunately, we ran out around 6 PM. We know some of you came specifically for the crab legs and didn’t get a chance to enjoy them, and we’re sorry.

So we’re making it right.

AYCE CRAB LEGS ARE BACK THIS SATURDAY & SUNDAY!

We’ve doubled our crab order this time so we’re much better prepared.

$49.95 per person
Snow crab legs • Corn on the cob • Red potatoes

After this weekend, AYCE Crab Legs will become a once-a-month event at The Salty Tarpon. We’ll announce each Crab Weekend ahead of time so you can plan for it.

Thank you to everyone who came out, and especially to those who were understanding when we ran out. The response was incredible.

See you this weekend — come hungry!

Well, you guys cleaned us out.

We went through over 300 pounds of snow crab on the very first night of our $49.95 All-You-Can-Eat Crab special and completely sold out.

Unfortunately, because we went through so much more than we anticipated, we simply can’t get another shipment in fast enough to do it again Sunday. We hate disappointing anyone who was planning on coming in, but there’s no way we’re going to substitute a lesser product just to keep the special going.

The good news is we got the message loud and clear. I’m ordering over 600 pounds for next weekend so hopefully you guys don’t clean us out again.

Thank you to everyone who came out and made the first night such a huge success. We honestly didn’t expect this kind of turnout.

We’ll be ready for you next weekend.
