My mother insists that we eat here every time she visits. This particular restaurant has a sit-down option and walk-up window. (We recommend the walk-up window for lunch.)
They make outstanding fish and chips. We also recommend the New Jersey chowder (a mix of the New England and New York chowders).
This is also where a good part of the Pacific fishing fleet docks, so fans of "The Most Dangerous Catch" may see some of their favorite boats.
