The Unassuming Washington Restaurant That Serves The Best Seafood You've Ever Tried
Ilwaco is a quiet little fishing village on the Long Beach Peninsula. And while most of the tastiest restaurants can be found in the town of Long Beach itself, there are a few gems here, especially if you like delicious seafood.
If you didn’t know any better, you’d probably drive right by OleBob’s Seafood Market and Galley Restaurant without thinking twice. But if you give this unassuming eatery a chance, you’ll be glad you did.

They're open Wednesday through Sunday, with the cafe staying open until 8 PM on Friday and Saturday.
