Instead of the usual drive up to the city or down to Santa Cruz, we mixed it up a bit and drove out to Half Moon Bay. It was one of those lucky days where the skies and the water so clear and blue. The perfect weather for fish and chips.
Barbara's Fish Trip has been my family's go-to fish and chips spot for as long as I could remember. Potential traffic along the 92 never stopped us. We were too drawn to the fresh quality of white fish and that light, fluffy, flaky batter.
It's a relief to know that it hasn't changed. The fried fish is still as light, airy, and crunchy as ever. Plus, I love indulging on a plateful of fried artichoke hearts, too. Prepping and cooking artichokes can be tedious at home, so I usually order it if it's on the menu.
When I came of age (21, that is) I would choose to cross the street to the Half Moon Bay Brewery instead. Sitting by an outdoor firepit, munching on fried artichoke hearts and sipping on an IPA or an Amber Ale..well, it was usually both by the end of the meal. If you want some tasty brews, HMB Brewery is the place to go. If you just want some quality fried seafood, Barbara's Fish Trap is always the good choice.
