Chowing Down on Chowder at Barbara's in Half Moon Bay, California
Perched over a small beach next to Half Moon Bay Harbor, Barbara’s Fish Trap offers a no-fuss ambiance, friendly service, and a renowned chowder that draws customers from far and wide. Sit inside, under the ceiling draped with fishnets, Christmas lights, and kitsch of the sea. A whiteboard on the wall lists the fresh catch of the day—which you can eat while watching the fishing boats bring tomorrow’s menu items into harbor. Or, if it’s a nice day, grab a steaming cup of chowder and sit on the picnic benches outside. Just watch out for gulls who may want to share your french fries.
