Seafood Restaurants near Deer Harbor

“Cute rooms although ours could've used a dusting. There were a few cobwebs in the room and bathroom which lowered the overall appeal. Listing on Expedia said we would have a King bed, but our room actually had a Queen.Rooms: Cute, could've used a dustingFood & drinks: Island Pie is amazingNoteworthy details: 15 min drive from Eastsound“

“Super lovely restaurant with gorgeous views. We had the sausage, gravy and biscuits which were really delicious and filling. My only comment is there are no accessible bathrooms, which is something to keep in mind if you use a wheelchair.Wheelchair accessibility: There's a ramp to get inside, but no accessible washroom“

“This restaurant was such a great option. The food was simply amazing, as was the service. We tried an assortment of items, including the oysters (duh), the lingcod and dungeness crap dip (get extra hungarian peppers), the waffles, the lamb (outstanding) and pork chop. I also had the "Smokeless Cigar" beverage, which was also excellent. A tryly enjoyable dining experience here on the Island.“

“One of the best places my wife and I have eaten in a looooong time! The food was absolutely incredible (we had the chicken sandwich and the burger) and the folks working were absolutely amazing and so fun to chat with ?On top of all this deliciousness, the food is locally sourced from the meat and veggies to the oil and sauce. What a gem of a place and such fair prices for such quality ingredients ?I would honestly leave more than 5 stars if that was possible hahaha! ?“

“Delicious food selection! And there might even be some items on the menu that are not published on the website’s menu. The taste is amazing, which surely showcases the chef’s abilities and commitment to fresh and local ingredients. Very friendly service in an awesome slow food high quality restaurant.“

“Hands down some of the best food I’ve had. Definitely the best I’ve had on the island and very fairly priced for what you get. It was the owners cooking tonight and I was pleasantly surprised. My steak was cooked perfectly to my asking of medium rare, the asparagus was the way it should be, rice pilot was well seasoned. And truffle fries to boot with extra crispy fries.“

“Great restaurant with gorgeous views of the Friday Harbor waterfront and marina. Called 2 hours in advance to reserve and was accommodated for a table of 6. The food was delicious. The service was great. The setting was beautiful. 5 stars all around.“

“The drinks were amazing, the basil pesto chicken sandwich was very juicy and extremely flavorful, the chicken was seasoned perfectly, the salmon sandwich was seasoned exceptionally and full of flavor, especially with the pickled onions. Sarah was very knowledgeable, friendly and gave a great recommendation! Would easily come back again and highly recommended!“

“I had zero intention of eating here tonight; I'm vegetarian and I don't eat seafood. But man, am I glad I came! Funny enough, I showed up because Tenth House next door was closed for remodeling. It was half an hour before Coho shut down for the night and I was hungry, so I stopped in to see if they had salads. Tonight happened to be a pop-up Izakaya night I wasn't previously aware of. The entire menu was Japanese-inspired. I ordered the vegetarian ramen with mushrooms that the chef was kind enough to make without sesame, since I have an allergy. I asked for a random, on-the-spot-invented drink and the bartender delivered. It was such a good drink! The waitstaff was very kind to me and checked on me frequently. I felt valued and seen, which as a woman of color matters a lot--especially at an upscale restaurant. I'm docking a star only because the ramen itself was very bland. In their quest to honor my allergy needs, they left out any sauces and seasoning to the noodles. The vegetables were excellent, but there are ways to fulfill seasoning requests while honoring allergy restrictions.“

“There is a lot of hurry up and wait on a trip back from the San Juan Islands. I have heard horror stories about people getting stuck in Friday harbor because the ferries are having problems. Even with a reservation, you might not get a spot headed to the mainland. We decided that getting there early was good insurance against possible difficulties. We got our place in line with a couple of hours to kill until we might get on a boat. It was lunch time, so we thought a trip to The Bait Shop was in order.My son and I discovered this place last year during the Friday Harbor Film festival. It is an easy to miss spot on Spring Street next to the movie theater. There is a big space inside that is mostly empty. In the summer the space is filled with a line of eager fish and chips fans. Since this was November, we had the place to ourselves. We claimed almost all of the stools at a counter by the window while My cousin and I put in our orders. The menu is pretty straight forward - there are a few fried seafood choices served with fries and coleslaw. I was intrigued by something called crab tots, but at $18 I was not going to take a chance. I got the two piece cod. For bigger appetites, there is a three piece option and if you don’t like cod, you can get halibut. There is a cooler of canned and bottled drinks to choose from, but I prefer fountain drinks with fish and chips.I would not have been surprised if our group of 7 had overwhelmed the tiny kitchen. I should have had more faith. In the summer these guys manage to feed a line that fills the shop and overflows out into the street. 7 orders is nothing to these pros. Our food came out in a couple of minutes. We barely had time to gather ketchup, salt, mayo, other condiments and fill our cups. Everything was fried to perfection. The fish was crispy and cooked though, but not dry. The fries were crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle. All the cooked items were good and hot. It was served with plenty of tartar sauce.I like to start with the coleslaw. This version was fresh and crunchy. There was just the right amount of dressing on it to give it flavor without making it soggy. There was an unusual herb in there that I did not like, but that is a matter of taste and not a lack of skill on the part of whoever made it.Except for the coleslaw, we ate with our hands and made full use of the paper towel napkins that were provided. I was good and full by the time I was down to scooping the french fry salt from the bottom of the cardboard boat that everything was served in. There was plenty of time left and even though it was November, our thoughts turned to ice cream. The Bait Shop offers soft serve chocolate, vanilla or swirled. It is probably fine, but we skipped it in favor of the place at Cannery Landing.“
