O.K., time to catch-up on a down-home, rough-around-the-edges, almost-makes-you-cry-it's-so-good place. Yes, I LOVE the Napa Valley, and frequent what I call "Central" Sonoma County (Santa Rosa area) and the "West County" (Sebastopol and Occidental) but one of my true loves -- and where I plan to spend much more time via my new friend J., at the Sonoma Coast Villa & Spa -- is Bodega Bay. Recently, the crew and I headed out there for some wave watching, rock climbing, and, of course, fish eating!
Our stop this time? Sandpiper Restaurant, down on Bay Flat Road. It's a low
-slung, non-descript place with, I think, awesome food. They're known for their awesome clam chowder (the waitresses all wear "Please don't eat the chowder" shirts"; cause they run out...) and fresh seafood dishes, like smoked salmon quesadillas, potato crusted halibut, and so on. Me? I got spicy this time, and went for the cajun-blackened snapper sandwich...which just happens to go perfectly -- perfectly, mind you -- with an ice-cold bottle of Anchor Steam. The next time you feel like some sea air and some fresh fish, consider the Sandpiper 
in Bodega Bay.
