"I was determined to make it to the coast at least once this summer, so I headed out to Newport over the long weekend. One of my constant complaints is that Portland doesn’t have a higher concentration of good seafood restaurants given our proximity to the coast, so when I head out there, I always eat as much as possible. On this trip, I really enjoyed the fish and chips at Newport Brewing Company. The rockfish was lightly battered, well-seasoned, and flaky; a nice contrast to the oily, batter-heavy pieces of fish that many places serve. The filets were served with medium-thick seashore fries and struck the perfect balance of soft, potato-y interior and crispy exterior." - Eater Staff
