Point Loma Seafoods (again)

mmm-yoso!!! continues to write about food.  Today, Cathy has a brief post about a fairly regular stop.

I've written plenty of posts about Point Loma Seafoods, the most recent in 2019.  This restaurant is an automatic stop when picking up from the airport, and there was plenty of that happening during Covid. 

 In any case, consistency of the quality and flavors is the biggest reason we stop here.  We just know what we order will be the same as always.

 Of course, the prices have increased.  Credit cards are now accepted and you pay when you order, not when picking up the order. 

 A bowl of White Clam Chowder ($6) is always our choice.  Filled with diced potato, celery and plenty of fat, fresh clams, the creamy clam broth is perfect without additions...but those oyster crackers added in about halfway just make the chowder 'fancier'.
 Smoked Fish Cocktail ($8.95) instead of buying random smoked fish by the pound (which we usually do) was a good choice.  There were three types of fish-meaty, firm tuna, a smokey yet sweet halibut and delicately smoke flavored swordfish.  Each tasted great on its own but the house made, light horseradish flavored cocktail sauce, each bite had an additional flavor hint.  Smoked fish as well as smoked meat is proper; smoked cheese is wrong.

 Fish and Chips ($19).  The classic.  Three very large, thick pieces of flaky Alaskan cod coated in a light, crunchy, non-oily batter with plenty of thin, crisp fries and a delightful cabbage-carrot-bell pepper slaw which is lightly dressed in mayonnaise.  The house made tartar sauce is unique and great with the fish as well as the crispy fries.  The serving portion was plenty to share.

Soo was here in June and has more photos.

We really enjoy the fresh food here, kat.

This place is such an institution and has been here so long that my mom and grandma took me here as a baby in the 80s, and since then my parents took me, I've taken dates and my wife and soon I'll take my baby girl out there too.

Nothing beats one of their shrimp sandwiches (or their fish sandwich). I admit I've wanted to try other things but in so many years I think i've only gotten to the shrimp cocktail and the tuna sandwich (which for something that gives me PTSD from my childhood is actually amazing at PLSF). Can't get past fresh sourdough, amazing fried seafood and just enough tartar sauce.

Seeing this brought back lovely memories, thank you.

Thanks for the link Cathy!

It made meI so happy to see this brought back good memories for you, Loren! Wishing your daughter's memories are just as good. We've only had the squid and tuna sandwiches and now will definitely try both types of shrimp as well as the fish sandwiches-you are correct about the wonderful, fresh sourdough!
