we'd had some outstanding fish in port townsend: mussels the first night, salmon bought directly from the fisherman on his boat. but we hadn't yet had fish & chips. we stopped at sea j's for lunch on the way out of town. as you can likely tell from the mouthwatering photo, the clam chowder and fish (fresh cod) & chips were outstanding. even the coleslaw was pretty good.
there are six community tables at sea j's and when you walk in the door, you are basically walking right into someone's lunch. the waitresses all ignored us as we stood there wondering if we were just supposed to sit or what. finally a fellow having lunch with his young daughter took pity on us ignorant out-of-towners and waved us over to join his table. one bite of that fresh, tender, crispy fish and we knew it was well-worth the intial awkwardness.
