Kirk is taking a short vacation, Ed (from Yuma) is enjoying this three day weekend (in Yuma) and Cathy is writing a few short posts, just to keep you interested in this food blog, mmm-yoso!!!
I've written a few times about Point Loma Seafoods, most recently as part of a birthday lunch, last year. Other posts were written in 2007, again in 2010, 2011, 2012, and in 2014. It was a bit before the lunchtime crowd would be showing up at this dockside fish market restaurant, overcast and chilly.
The fish cases were filled, sushi and sashimi grab and go plates were being made.
The smoked fish counter had a special on yellowfin and I asked for a piece that weighed 'about a half pound' while The Mister was placing a food order at the front counter.
The fish was moist, smoky and delicious.
Soon a bowl of clam chowder ($4.91)was ready and I thought that was the perfect amount of food for the two of us to share for a mid-morning snack.
But, The Mister had seen the Daily Specials board when we walked in. Soft Shell crab is in season. He had ordered one sandwich for us to share ($12.04)
Two fresh, soft shelled crabs on a sourdough roll with the house made cole slaw (it has bell peppers mixed in with the cabbage and carrots and a light, creamy sauce). A perfect pre-lunch meal enjoyed while looking out onto the docks.

I've been meaning to come here. Not sure if belly clams are in season but the soft shell crab sandwich look pretty good.

Belly Clams are listed on that handwritten board at the door, cc. It's just so good here.
It's a great local place, Bill.
