	They call themselves a clam bar, they are what I would
call an oyster bar. 

	Located upstairs in the Santa Barbara harbour, this place
is busy and noisy. There are tables and chairs on the narrow
balcony and inside. But for the best experience sit at the bar
outside, or stand at the bar window on the balcony.

	There is a "kitchen" menu of fish, salads etc. But you
are there for the counter specialties, cooked for you in front of
you by the barman.  He will mix your coctail, shuck your oysters
and boil your shrimp in a beer sauce.

	By sitting at the bar, you look out over the harbour.
Definately the best seat in the house.

	The staff behind the counter are men, most have worked
there around a decade. The clientelle is varied, local singles,
tourists and fishermen who step in from their boats. Everyone
seems to get along.

	Open for lunch and dinner. This is a perfect lunch,
oysters, a bloody mary and some of their french fries and life
doesn't get much better.

	They serve New Zealand green mussels, I know there are
locally harvested mussels, but right now they are out of season.

	Mussels with the fernch fries and a glass of local white
wine and you could be scarfing "moule et frite" in a Normandy
fishing village - Except for the noise from the locals.

	Brophy Bros. 119 Harbour Way, (The harbour) Santa
