Perhaps a better title would be Waterside Restaurants. El and Bill's post about a lobster stew lunch at Cooks's on the Maine Coast got me to thinking. Some of my favorites around here are

l. Ivar's Salmon House on Lake Union. We save the wonderful Sunday brunch buffet for special occasions, but the fish and chips are great anytime. -and they have a free floating dock

2. Arnies in Muckilteo. The seafood, the view, the serivice-hard to beat.

3.Waterfront Fish Store in Everett. The best fish and chips take out between Bellingham and Bremerton. (Not really seaside or a restauant but if you walk down the block you can see them working on the USS Abe Lincoln).

Salty's at Alki-Out of my class, but, if you ever have a really, really special occasion consider Salty's
 
Marty,

Now you've made me hungry, and I just finished breakfast! A little out of the way, for some, The Dockside at John Wayne Marina in Sequim is probably in the top 3 restaurants on the Olympic Peninsula. Moderatley priced, great view.
 
In the San Juans, one of our favorite places that you can boat right to is The Kingfish Inn and Restaurant. It is at the north end of West Sound on Orcas Island.

There is a small free public dock about a half block from the restaurant.

Another on the Anacortes side of Guemes Channel is Randy's Pier 61. They also have a dock right in front of the restaurant.

LaConner on the Swinomish Channel has multiple restaurants and several docks.
 
Pasta Pelican -- Alameda -- dock -- good pasta -- nice prices

Horizon's -- Sausalito -- dock --great patio/view -- great sandwiches -- historic interior

The Office - on the beach in Cabo San Lucas.

Palm Street Pier - South Padre Island (bayside).

Roche Harbor (San Juan Island) - can't remember the name of the restaurant by the Haro Hotel.

Ft. Lauderdale - just about any of the many restaurants along the ICW.

Loralei's - Islamorada in the Florida Keys.

Cheeseburger in Paradise - Lahaina, Maui (on Front Street)

And Joan just said, "The Wild Blue Bar and Grill" - the view from the cockpit is great. 8)
 
1. Chinooks at Fishermen's Terminal in Seattle. Just ate there an hour ago. <burp>

2. McCormick and Schmidts on the Portland Waterfront. Happy hour menu feature entree's from from $2-4 and they are serious meals. Booze/beer is optional.

3. Oyster Bar in Olympia.

4. LaConner Brewery in LaConner. Best pizza on the planet.

1. Chinooks at Fishermans must be seconded.
2. Bowling alley in Anacortes for breakfast or fish and chips.
3 Hastings House in Ganges on Saltsprings Is. ( high my all time
list but $$$)
 
O'Steens Seafood in Saint Augustine Florida it's a mom and pop place where the locals eat about 1/4 mile walk south from the Bridge of Lions. Might be a little drive for some. Great Monorcan Chowder!
 
Waterman's Crab House in Rock Hall, Md.
Harrison's on Tilghman Island, Md. (great oysters and seafood, family style, been in the Harrison family for over 100 years..Capt. Buddy is a myth in Maryland)
 
Took Lizzie to the aquarium today and remembered The Crab Pot, next door on pier 57. If your coming to the Seattle Boat Show and taking the Argosy Cruise stop there for a seafood feast. I think Byrdman gave it the thumbs up a few years ago.

Hi,
An interesting collection of recommended seafood dives and hot dog stands along with other types of food is available at www.hollyeats.com If you go to the site and click on Eating the New England coast it will give you an idea of what the site is all about. I've tried a few selections in the New Jersey, Philadelphia, and Isla Muheres, Mexico and I believe the guy is spot on. Not all seaside but a fun site. Ratings are done by the number of grease stains. Five being the best. These places are not recommended for the white wine and flounder set. Most places listed include a menu along with pictures. Have fun.
D.D.
 
Thanks for that post Dave. If there's one thing I miss about Jersey it's the wonderful diners. Anything you want, any time of day (or night). Like the neon sign over the Tic Toc diner says, "Eat Heavy". Someday I'm gonna hook my 16 footer up to the Volvo and do the C-Brat Jersey Diner tour" from Cape May to High Point.
 
I'll second the great seafood in Jersey and NYC. When I lived in Patterson NJ I use to go to a Greek Seafood place in Patterson that was a market restaurant combination. I can't remember the name but it was one large room divided by a half wall. The market had all the seafood on display in chipped ice. You would select the fish, crab or other item from the market and they would prepare it in the restaurant. Very resonable prices also.
 
The Crab Shack Resturant on 6 Mile Creek located about 25 miles south of Jacksonville off the Saint Johns on the east side. They have a long floating dock you can dock at. There menu has a large variety of seafoods plus things such as alligator, squid and turtle. Very rustic place with mostly fried entrees. Well worth the trip for anyone crusing the Saint Johns. No problem overnighting at the dock it's well protected from wind but there are no hookups. There are pics in my album.
