Barbara's Fishtrap

On December 31, 2012 I went on a road trip to Half Moon Bay with my Cali family. It was a beautiful crisp sunny day with weather in the 60's. I was excited to visit Half Moon Bay as I had never been there before. It was a perfect day to admire the pacific ocean and check out some surfers. The first order of business was eating lunch, so we went to Barbara's Fishtrap. My mother and father in law have eaten there a few times and said it was really good. They have never disappointed me in the past, so I was looking forward to eating here. We had to wait about 20 minutes in the outside seating area. I did not mind since there were lots of people watching to do and pictures to take of the beauty around me. If you do not want to wait for a table, Barbara's Fishtrap has a takeout menu and window.

Barbara's Fishtrap has established a great reputation for serving delicious seafood from many reviews I read online. This restaurant has been around for decades, serving residents and visitors in the Half Moon Bay area. The decor offers eclectic charm and intimate surroundings since it is small. It is cozy and inviting with a gorgeous view of the ocean. It was packed when we were there for lunch and I can see why.

Allen's Shrimp Tempura and Coleslaw

Allen ordered Shrimp Tempura and Coleslaw. The batter was seasoned right and had a nice crunch, but delicate. The Shrimp was fresh and cooked perfectly and the Coleslaw was really great. The rest of us ordered their famous Fish & Chips. The Fish & Chips are in my top 5 of the best I have eaten! The batter was so good and crunchy, and the fish ever so tender and seasoned very well. The Chips (French Fries) were amazing too!
