Why can't all chowder houses be this good and this unpretentious? Family-style joint Halibut's has some of the best fish 'n' chips in town perfectly battered golden-fried goodness from the sea including halibut of course or cod (available in half or full portions $7-$15) giant tiger prawns and seasonal specials like sturgeon or large diver scallops. The clam chowder ($6) is magnificent—smoky creamy and loaded with clams. To shiver your timbers a full bar is available at Halibut's II located next door. (LAC)
