Chow down on seafood sandwiches, BBQ oysters or a Dungeness-crab roll at redwood picnic tables facing Richardson Bay. A local leader in promoting fresh and sustainably caught fish, this place has wonderful wild salmon in season and refuses to serve the farmed stuff. It's really pricey, but so worth it. Cash only. Expect a queue.
