Welcome back to reading mmm–yoso!!! a food blog. Kirk is enjoying work so much that he just isn't bothering to go out to eat or write posts, so Cathy is writing again today.
The Mister was born on a Thursday and I was born the following Thursday many, many, many years ago. Our habit has been to go out for a meal each day from his birthday until mine. This year we chose local spots. Point Loma Seafoods, was, of course, a joint choice.
The day began as overcast, which was such a relief after the horrid summer heat we had just a few weeks prior.
You walk up, order from the overhead menu and/or the black board, pay and wait for your number to be called.
There are several seat yourself areas, all with nice views.
The fried clam plate ($22) was ordered and the order-taker guy immediately grabbed a container of fresh belly clams from the counter and handed it to the kitchen. Perfectly breaded, lightly fried, wonderful, fresh belly clams. The fries are thin and crispy and just the crunch needed and the slaw here has some bell pepper in it, which is so refreshing. A craving fulfilled.
For some reason, I was feeling like we should share a light/not fried meal and chose a smoked fish salad ($14). The photo is deceptive and there was a lot of lettuce as well as a variety of house smoked fish; hamachi/yellowtail, (albacore) tuna, swordfish and salmon. As always, I chose the traditional, house made Louie dressing, because it is just the perfect accompaniment for the lettuce.
A nice day for lunch and walk along the docks .
