This is the very first, original Mo’s restaurant. Situated across the street from a Wyland Whaling Wall mural, it is a popular, casual spot and is famous for its clam chowder—a version of which is available in a bread bowl. Some of the items are fresh-caught Oregon seafood—but not the mediocre over-breaded fish and chips, which are prepared from flash-frozen Alaskan cod. Better bets are the avocado stuffed with rock crab or shrimp, halibut fish tacos, or tender pan-fried fresh oysters served in-shell, and don’t miss the marionberry cobbler for dessert.
