While in Port Angeles area, we bought some fresh Dungeness Crabs, and cooked them up for a feast! I don’t remember where we bought them, but here’s a tip from Kaleberg, a destination expert on tripadvisor: “If you really want great seafood, call Preston at Wild West Foods, 206 499 0175, and ask him if he will be bringing anything to the Port Angeles Farmers’ Market or to Country Aire Grocery in Port Angeles during your visit. His fish is the real deal: fresh, local, pristine.”

Backyard S’mores:
DIY : Graham Crackers, Chocolate, Marsmallows + Fire
In the Lake Quinault Area:
  • Salmon House: All the fish entrees were tasty. The kids enjoyed their meals.  The smoked salmon was the highlight.
