The Best Fish and Chips on the Oregon Coast | Eater Portland
"The Goergen family has been fishing the Pacific since 1955, so it was a natural choice to name their first full-service restaurant after their fishing vessel — Catalyst. For visitors to the far south of the Oregon coast, it’s one of the best bets for reliable local seafood. Located in a modest building with blue metal siding near the Port of Brookings Harbor, the restaurant has an intimate feel inside and spacious outdoor seating. Depending on what’s been landed, the fish and chips basket might contain firm and juicy albacore or flaky ling cod, available either fried or grilled. Either way, it’s piled on top of slightly spicy, seasoned fries. Shellfish lovers should go for clam strips, shrimp, or plump oysters in their baskets. It may not all be locally harvested, but it sure does hit the spot." - Emily Teel
