“Bear Flag, a seafood eatery, has a stunning space facing the ocean. Grab some poke (ahi or salmon, priced by the pound), which is served with tortilla chips. No rice bowls here. It’s all about the poke, which is dressed in a flavor bomb blend of sesame oil, Sriracha, seaweed salad and green onion. Want something heartier? Try the seafood burrito with swordfish, rice, black beans, lettuce and pico de gallo in a grilled tortilla.”
