The Bait Shop in Friday Harbor is known for its amazing fish and chips, featuring light and crispy halibut fried to perfection. The chips are crisp and tasty, and the clam chowder is well-seasoned with tender clams, making it some of the best clam chowder around. This small and cute shop has limited seating and a small menu, but it is moderately priced, making it a must-stop for seafood lovers. The location is walkable from the ferry dock, and while not cheap, the non-meat options like the 2 or 3 piece halibut hit the spot. The Cod and Crab Tots are also popular, with the honey cilantro sauce being a standout. The light batter on the fish is preferred over a heavy beer batter, and the coleslaw is absolutely fantastic, adding a good touch to the meal. Overall, The Bait Shop is an unassuming counter shop with delicious seafood options that are freshly fried and definitely worth trying, especially the fish and chips with the honey cilantro sauce.
