Anaheim, Culinarily Speaking

Enjoying a reputation as one of the best places to eat in Orange County, The Cannery occupies a choice waterfront spot on the site of a commercial fish cannery that closed in 1966. This AAA Three Diamond® restaurant has served up fresh seafood in Newport Beach for more than 40 years. Within its corrugated metal exterior—a tribute to the site’s history—is an inviting dining room where some of the most popular dishes being served include lobster and pasta, lobster rolls and a mixed seafood grill. Enjoying a pre-meal cocktail in the second-floor lounge is one of the fun things to do with friends here.To get the full Surf City USA experience, one of the best places to eat is at Duke’s Huntington Beach, where seafood—as well as chicken and burgers—is served with a Polynesian flair. Named for Duke Kahanamoku, the Hawaiian Olympic athlete who introduced surfing to the area in 1925, the restaurant overlooks the broad sandy beach right next to the Huntington Beach Pier downtown. Fish tacos are a house specialty as is the hula pie, which consists of a cookie crust topped by a mound of macadamia nut ice cream beneath a thick layer of chocolate fudge.x:1675088
