The Best Restaurants on Washington’s San Juan Islands | Eater Seattle

"The drive to the far side of Orcas Island is worth it for the bay-fresh oysters, garlicky steamed clams, and other local seafood at this no-frills bistro in the town of Olgas. Dine outdoors on the sun-drenched grassy lawns overlooking the idyllic bay where the farm grows its own Salish Sea oysters and clams. Start with BB Farm’s oysters on the half-shell and halibut ceviche before moving on to mains like decadent crab mac and cheese with red rock and Dungeness crab meat mixed with gruyere and smoked Tillamook cheese on panko-crusted cavatappi pasta. The Island Roll, a brioche roll heaped with Pacific cod, shrimp, scallops, and halibut with herb aioli and a sprinkling of salmon roe, is another favorite." - Zoe Baillargeon
