Ever wished you could get still-in-the-shell mussels on your pizza? Here you can – along with more ordinary varieties. There's also fish stew, baked tuna, a salmon burger, and on the weekends a herring buffet (noon-3pm) with an impressive selection. The outdoor tables look over the water, so you can watch boats come and go. Live music some nights.
