Two Sundays ago, it was a really nice day out. It was sunny with some nice breeze, so my sister, Danny and I decided we'd go out for lunch in Minnehaha Park at Sea Salt Eatery. The eatery is only open during the summer months; the owners used to work at Coastal Seafood so they have access to fresh seafood. The line was super long and the wait was just as long, I guess because of that I kinda did have high hopes for the place.
Daily special menu from which we ordered the crab stuffed avocado.
We sat out in the patio while waiting for our food to arrive. It was very nice and sunny out, a perfect day to be in the park.
I ordered two fish tacos: Mahi Mahi ($6.95) and Tilapia ($5.95) which comes with 2 tacos for each. The fish tacos were the worst thing we ordered, there was no flavor the fish at all, and it was dry. The tacos became soggy really fast, even the lime and hot sauce didn't help add more flavor to the tacos, really disappointing.
Sister like soft-shell crabs so she ordered the Soft Shell Crab sandwich for $15.95. I personally didn't think it was such a great deal and it didn't really taste like much to me.
We also got a Crab Cake $10.95 for one small thing. It was a bit rich for our taste.
I got the Crab Stuffed Avocado $7.95. It was the best thing that we had ordered, it was just crab meat, very fresh and actually taste like crab without any fillers like in the crab cake. It had the best value too.
Overall, this place is overrated perhaps. I probably would not come back any time soon.

food presentation in itself seems to need improvement or were just sloppily made, I feel you on not wanting to come back to this place to eat again.
looks alright, but definitely on the pricey side.
crabcakes can be hit-or-miss and the one you pictured has too many things loaded-up on it. a good crabcake should stand on it's own and not loaded down by the extra stuff.
i'm a sucker for anything softshell crab related and i'm surprised to see a bottle of sriracha, it's not the most common hot sauce to find unless you're at an asian joint
