We love how all the food was sourced locally, with all fish coming from Ft. Bragg and all produce local as well. The seaweed was harvested from the cove below the restaurant. Black Cod, Ling Cod and Rock Fish are normally something we don’t like and don’t order, but the chef absolutely changed our minds. The seafood cuts, texture, flavor and cooking were spot on. A great 3 hour meal!
