Tradition: Ivar’s in Mukilteo
I don’t know why I love going to this restaurant so much, but I do. The worst meal I have ever had there was mediocre, but considering we go there all the time, the majority of the meals have been between 90 – 100% absolutely wonderful. On this visit, my friend had clam chowder and the Fried Alaska Clams, and I had the crab bisque and the salmon on a bed of spinach. We were so busy talking, there are no food photos, I didn’t even remember photos until we were on your way out of the restaurant.
The Fried Alaska Clams, by the way, were so good that we ordered another order to go, and took them home to my Mother, who adores Fried Alaska Clams, and she said they were perfect!

Looking toward the entry:
No signs of recession; the restaurant is full!
You can watch the Mukilteo Ferry come in and depart:

The restaurant was full, but it seemed to me, at least on the lunch menu, that the prices are lower than they were six months ago. My friend said she thought so, too. A BIG bus full of Japanese tourists ate there, but the restaurant is so big, I don’t even know where they were eating.
And Purg, I feel so bad that there are no food photos from Ivar’s, that I took a food photo of the food in my refrigerator for you:

Mouthwatering! Although I rarely eat seafood in Ramadan, but it all sounds SO GOOD! Next time you go, snap away some pictures for us please 😉
Thank you for thinking of me 🙂
I miss those seaside places, with fresh air and clean food
And the fish!!! ummm!!
Aye Aye, Ansam! 🙂
It’s the fresh air, Purg . . . Kuwait has wonderful seafood, although I am horrified to read that Kuwait is dumping sewage big time into the Gulf now . . . one of my favorite dishes is seafood machboos, and the other is that shrimp-in-red-sauce that they serve at Mubarakiyya. But oh – the Alaska King Crab, the Alaska razor clams, the salmon, the halibut . . . Yep. Heaven.
yup fresh clean air.
And sleeping with the window open! Wooo HOooooo!
