Owen’s Fish Camp in downtown Sarasota’s Burns Court is an ode to old Florida: local fish from the bay every day, Southern classics, craft beer and wine. The banyan out front was a gift from Thomas Edison to the Sarasota developer Owen Burns, and there is a tire swing out back. It opens every night from 4pm and takes no reservations.
