What a find! Thanks to the ladies at the Coos Bay Welcome Center who suggested at my asking, to get clam chowder here. 🍵
It's cute and a great novelty to the Coos Bay area, it is too bad, the owners are selling the restaurant. Secretly, I'm hoping the new owners will keep the place a restaurant and not change it. It's just too cute!
A boat converted into a seafood restaurant, its such a cool idea, for this little fisherman's town. (I'm not really sure if Coos Bay is a fisherman's town, I didn't actually see any one fishing, but the area feels like it could be, so I called it that).
The clam chowder was perfect, served quickly, the back patio seating area was peaceful and calming, there wasn't too much action going on with the waves in the bay, so movement on the backend of the boat was minimal.

I used to go down to Bandon to get fish & chips, but they don't even hold a candle to Fisherman's Seafood Market. The pieces of fish are fresh, firm, white and flakey, and the breading is NOT greasy. The coleslaw contains dried cranberries and is the best I have ever had. I am not particularly fond of coleslaw, but I eat every last shred of theirs. And they have a seasoning you can sprinkle on your french fries called 'Slap yo' Mama' that takes them to a...
Read moreStill the BEST seafood spot in Oregon!
We have been dining here for years - and decided to make this our “spot” for our 10th anniversary as well.
We drove all the way from Sprague River - and boy was it worth the trip!
Our special needs kiddo was on Cloud Nine when we told her where we were going to eat for OUR anniversary. She ordered the clam basket and a cup of clam chowder. I ordered the fish and prawns basket and also a cup of clam chowder. Dad ordered fish and chips. It was the BEST ever and we made the right choice!
This is hands down the our favorite seafood restaurant in Oregon. We highly recommend trying if for yourself! And the staff is very...
