Eh.

Definitely some interesting sounding places to eat and explore, and as someone who goes to the OR coast every couple of months I can say the Local Ocean (Newport, OR) and Luna Sea Fish House (Yachats, OR) are solid picks. I have a minor issue with the semifrequency of calling various owners or fellow travelers "refugees from [insert big metro area]" as that's kind of a weird word choice for "non-locals who moved here to 'uplift' the scene" as it seems like that's what the author's implying... or sniffing at tourist-trap type areas when this is literally a book about tourism, but I get the appeal of trying to find those out of the way but still awesome places.

Also, once again, reading a cookbook and not making anything from it... though the recipes here definitely would require a bit of forethought (and planning, if ingredients are even available... probably are as I do live in Oregon, but still, I don't venture out to the co-op or Market of Choice that often)… (meer)
