Thanks for stopping by to read this food blog. Kirk and Ed(from Yuma) are researching various food at various places to be able to share with you. Cathy is sharing.
Early one morning, The Mister and I decided to head toward the coast and play 'tourist', stopping at Liberty Station, the former Naval Training Center, on Point Loma. It was still overcast and cool.People were out and about early and we had a nice walk while observing the sights.
We drove over to Point Loma Seafoods and there was no line for parking, so I drove to the back of the lot (so there would be no pressure to back out quickly when leaving; if you've ever been here, you know what I mean…it is brutal) and walked along the water to the entrance.
We saw a very happy sea lion near the rocky edge. …who apparently caught (or was fed) some fish.
Yes, this is a regular lunchtime spot for the two of us.
The Board out front this day had one item we were very interested in sharing.
The fresh clams…a childhood favorite of The Mister.
As mentioned, we were here very early.
Our order… My usual, Fish Plate ($12.04) Alaskan cod (three large meaty pieces), crispy fries and coleslaw, served with the wonderful tartar sauce made here.
The fresh wild Ipswitch clams plate ($18.62). When ordered, the counter guy walked over to the seafood display case and grabbed a whole container and took it over to the kitchen to be prepared. So, an additional $4 for breading, frying, fries and slaw…not bad. The fat juicy tasty belly clams are a delicacy to us and made an excellent lunch.
