mmm-yoso!!!, the blog you are perusing, is musings about food consumed or prepared by one of us- Kirk, ed(from Yuma), Cathy or some other friends. Today, Cathy is musing. Because, Kirk and His Missus are on vacation.
Hi. I've been to Point Loma Seafoods countless times. I've only posted once on it, though, years ago, so it is time to show you it pretty much has not changed. It has been in San Diego since 1963. A landmark, selling and serving fresh and smoked fish. 
You walk in and the seafood counter and menu is straight ahead of you. You have to just step forward to order. When one of the many order takers asks "who's ready?"
Place your order, get a number and wait. Once your number is called, you pay and take your food (it is on a tray), walk out and can sit out front or in the covered area, next door.
You can order a shrimp cocktail or a smoked fish cocktail ($4.18 and it is not even 1/2 a pound of fish), or do what I do and just get a few pieces of smoked fish- the condiments in the eating area include cocktail sauce. I order the smoked fish after I have placed my food order, since the food takes some time to cook…and by cook, I mean fry. There are seafood salads served here, the tuna sandwich is made with fresh cooked (still warm) albacore and I think that is all …oh there is sushi…but otherwise, pretty much everything here is fried. The people running the fryer know what they are doing.
The Mister ordered a squid sandwich-solid squid cut in rectangular logs, breaded and lightly fried, and served between two slices of very fresh, soft, sourdough bread. ($8.32)
Topped with some fresh tartar sauce, it is a wonderful lunch.
We shared a cup of white clam chowder and an iced coffee, with milk.
The chowder ($3.26)is creamy rich and has a good, fresh clam flavor, as well as carrots, celery and potatoes. It is one item we always order. 
I got my usual fish and chips plate ($11.13)- the fresh fish most abundant that day (usually haddock, maybe cod- a firm, white fish) 3 or 4 pieces lightly breaded and fried nicely and served with crispy fries and a wonderful house made cole slaw, lightly dressed with mayonnaise.
The only caveat- when you do walk next door to take a seat, remember to get a good view…
