Across from the Chevron, this fun little arty joint makes good food fast, using mostly or-
ganic ingredients - try the creative soups, fish and chips with hand-cut fries, local grass-
fed beef burgers and homemade ice creams. Order at the counter and then sit inside or out.
Katy's Smokehouse & Fishmarket SEAFOOD
( www.katyssmokehouse.com ; 740 Edwards St; 9am-6pm)
Makes its own chemical-free and amazingly delicious smoked and canned fish, using line-
caught sushi-grade seafood. There's no restaurant, just grab some for a picnic.
The Seascape SEAFOOD
(1 Bay St; mains $12-35; 7am-8:30pm)
Go to this old-school, diner-type place for a panoramic view of the sea more than the food.
It's a lovely spot to watch the daily catch come in over a slice of pie or a bowl of yummy
clam chowder.
