Ketch Joannes Dining!

Tuesday, July 13, 2010
Ketch Joannes Restaurant, Half Moon Bay, Ca
Located at 17 Johnson Pier in the Harbor of Half Moon Bay Ketch Joannes is a great, casual place to dine, while on the coast. The Half Moon Bay Harbor is the only commercial fishery in San Mateo County giving "The Ketch" access to the freshest seafood. Half Moon Bay has many great places to dine, but if you want bang for your buck this is your stop. This is a dive restaurant whos atmosphere is not necessarily upscale, fancy, or elegant; but the food is. This is where the local fisherman eat in the morning before going out on their hard days work. I mean what is cooler than eating at a place excellent where all the rugged fisherman eat at. Breakfast, lunch, and diner are all great to eat here because 1. you know what you are getting. 2. you will always leave full. 3. the staff is friendly. 4. the food is great. My top favorites at Ketch Joannes have to be 1. the GRILLED crab melt sandwich- this is the best tasting sandwich in the whole bay area. 2. grilled rock cod with the teriyakiglaze-mmmmmm mmmm good. 3. The clam chowder- Only the Boston white, it is full of a seafood combination that is thick and creamy. 4 Fried Calamari/ Artichoke hearts- cooked to perfection. 5. blueberry pancakes- ihop has nothing on them. and my last recommendation and personnel favorite has to be the linguica omelet w/ cheddar cheese and home fries- More meat than eggs and potatoes. This is Michael Seaton with Realty Consulting Group Giving my opinion on one of Half Moon Bay's Finest Dining places due to its quality of food and great atmosphere. Check it out for yourself and prove me wrong I dare you!!!!

Deep Sea Fishing Half Moon Bay

Day 2: Deep Sea Fishing in Half Moon Bay

When in the Princeton area just north of Half Moon Bay, make sure you take a moment to check out a deep sea fishing excursion for the family, associates, or friends. One of the most popular ones and the one that our family has been using for over 20 years is Huck Finn Sports Fishing. Located at 15 Johnson Pier at Pillar Point Harbor. Per person to charter the boat it will run you around 50$-70$, and a one day permit 10$-15$, but make sure you call and check for pricing. The boat that we have used prior is the Tiger Fish. The staff of the boat is very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable that can make you experience that much better. Make sure you dress warm due to the coasts notoriously foggy and cold mornings! Most boats leave early mornings around seven and you will be fishing in about 30-45 minutes. We trolled south to follow the fish radar and very quickly the deckhands were working hard once we dropped our lines yelling “Fish On” from all sides of the boat running around helping people pull up their fish. Deep sea fishing is a great experience for all ages and a memory that will last a lifetime. After we all caught our limit (10 rock cod, 2 link cod), we headed back into the harbor, and what a beautiful sight it is. The coastline and sand bars shine against the crashing waves that are set against green mountains. This only enhances the great day with great people in a great town. After you get back you have the option of filleting your own catch, or having the deckhand do it for you. Deep Sea Fishing is a great thing to do in Half Moon Bay for tourists and locals alike, so pack a lunch and bring your sea legs for an adventure!

Tip1- Take preventatives if you are prone to seasickness such as Dramamine.
Tip2- Pack you own lunch.
Tip3- Bring a camera for great pictures
Tip4- Dress warm
Tip5- every person put 20 dollars in a pool and biggest fish for the day wins the money!
