It is hard to be nearer the water than this: the kitchen is a repurposed container on the float below Wharf Street, the tables are the dock, and the harbour traffic — floatplanes, water taxis, the whale boats leaving — is the entertainment. The fish is the point, sourced with an eye on sustainability and fried to order.
Because it is outdoors and tiny, it is not a place to linger on a wet day, and the line at noon in July is real. Go mid-afternoon, order a tacone and chowder, and watch the harbour.
