You'll find Hama Hama oysters, which are harvested from this Hood Canal shellfish operation that's been going strong since 1922, at some of the top restaurants in the Pacific Northwest. Here at the farm store and in the open-air (dress warmly on cool days) saloon, you can enjoy these fresh-shucked bivalves—along with clams and mussels raw or wood-roasted with chipotle-bourbon butter—and other tasty pub fare at lunch. Save room for the warm-chocolate fudge brownie.
Operated in partnership with the nearby Alderbrook Resort, this restored market at the Hood Canal Marina is open most days for gourmet snacks and to-go items, local beer and wine, and nicely curated nautical souvenirs, and its Hook & Fork waterfront eatery serves afternoon appetizers on Friday and leisurely brunches on weekends. A juice bar doles out freshly squeezed concoctions, and the rotating brunch menu features baked oysters, smoked-trout toast, and crab BLTs and Benedicts.
