Sunfish

There are few things more West Seattle than pouring Alki Beach sand out of your shoes just as a roller skater in a Speedo whizzes by. Sunfish is one of those things. This Alki fish and chips shop closes annually during winter, but usually flicks their neon "open" sign back on sometime in February, right as our toes just barely start to collectively unthaw. And much like a drunk outburst from Andy Cohen on New Year's Eve, we all look forward to it. While you’re here, squeeze a lemon wedge over flaky battered cod and meaty Greek-spiced fried oysters for a great casual lunch.
