    Our family of 4 had an excellent dinner here at Fish Hopper last night. We arrived early for our reservation. The hostess was very thoughtful in asking us to wait a couple minutes so we could get the window table. We didn't wait long and we're super happy to get the window table so we could watch the ocean and the people. The food was excellent. Special shout out to the Cajun seafood pasta dish (not sure if that's the correct name). We got a huge portion of dungeness crab, plus shrimp and scallops. We felt we got our money's worth and more. The shrimp salad was very good too. I got a very large portion of bacon. Overall we were very satisfied with this restaurant.
