Marina Fish House is a pretty good place to eat in Portland, Oregon. Their clam chowder is probably the best I've ever had, although it was loaded with salt, I think. Halibut Fish Fries was good also. And a salad with iceberg lettuce and bleu cheese dressing was magnifique. Not terribly pricey, but the service was "over-friendly but relatively classy." Inside or outside seating.
October, hunh. Well, sometimes October is beautiful and warm, and sometimes it isn't. But there are still lots of nice things to do. Be sure to visit the Classical Chinese Garden where both my son Gareth Mark and I volunteer. The Marina Fish House is right on the water, as you can see, so you can't miss it.
Thanks so much for your recommendation to the Marina Fish House in Portland! I was there mid-October (the weather was marvelous) and took your advice - the food was delicious and the prices were great! A great evening, enjoyed by all!
