Don’t be fooled by the restaurant’s ramshackle appearance. The food more than speaks for itself, and it will definitely have you coming back for more.
Curious where you'll find the best fish n' chips in Northern California? Check out Sea Pal Cove in Fort Bragg. This ramshackle restaurant is the definition a hidden gem, and you're bound to be surprised by what you find here.
Tucked away in the rustic Noyo Harbor, this tiny restaurant has become famous for serving up mouthwatering fried fish to the masses. You'll regularly spot a line out the door of hungry patrons, but rest assured the wait is definitely worth it.
The menu is pretty simple and boasts just a few dishes to choose from. However, sometimes simplicity is best and Sea Pal Cove definitely reflects that. With just a handful of menu items to focus on, the restaurant can put their attention on what really matters.
Of course, the fish n' chips are the most popular item served at Sea Pal Cove. Choose from hand-battered local rock cod or hand-battered jumbo wild caught prawns, both served on a bed of crispy golden fries.
The fish sandwich is another popular option. Comprised of fried rock cod, the sandwich contains all of the classic dressings and is served with house-made tartar sauce. The restaurant's proximity to the ocean definitely makes a difference, and you can taste it in every single bite.
Whatever you do, don't leave without trying a cup or bowl of their famous clam chowder. Using a family recipe that's been passed down for 40 years, the classic chowder contains clams, potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, and a blend of herbs. It's simply some of the best on the coast!
Enjoy the views of the harbor as you feast on some of the tastiest fried fish Northern California has to offer. Sea Pal Cove is a must for any seafood lover, so plan a lunch trip soon!
