If you’re a first time visitor to Cannon Beach or to the Oregon Coast for that matter, Mo’s is the place to go.  It’s touristy, it’s got merchandise and apparently they have world famous Clam Chowder.  But if you’re eating Paleo and not into touristy things, then Mo’s is really not the place for you.

However, because everybody says you should try it because of their oyster shooters, it wouldn’t kill us to try it…or would it….;)

What we ordered:  Fish dinner with side of potatoes and choice of salad, cole slaw or something else…I can’t remember, and  steamed oysters for appetizer.

How we ordered it:  The Salmon dinner with side of seasonal vegetables instead of potatoes with side of salad.  The Cod dinner with side of seasonal vegetable instead of potatoes and cole slaw.  Steamed oysters were as is.

What we got:

 The Cod dinner is not pictured because it is exactly the same as the Salmon dinner and really not much to look at.

Cost:  Salmon dinner – $11, Steamed oyster (8)- $10

Quantity:  The green beans may have been frozen, maybe not…nothin’ special.  A good portion of fish was served, but still left a little hungry and unsatisfied.

Quality:  Fish was a little overcooked.  Definitely needed to use the lemon, and salt and pepper to add some more flavor.  The steamed oysters were pretty darn good actually.

MEAT-O-METER Says!

OK, Mo’s was alright,  We did not try their famous clam chowder due ot the dairy, so maybe we just missed the best thing ever, but as far as Paleo on your travels, this one was…edible.  The portions were nothing spectacular.   As far as the taste, except for the oysters, it’s pretty close to something I could cook at home and we all know that I don’t/can’t cook.  If you can, find the one Thai restaurant in town for Paleo.  Good luck!
