Bay Area day-trippers flock to this 45-year-old beachfront restaurant every weekend for calamari and clam chowder.
In 1946, a tidal wave smashed into Princeton-by-the-Sea, destroying the oceanside wall of Hazel’s and flooding the town. The restaurant recovered but eventually closed in 1977 when the building's landlord decided to tear most of it down, extend the pier to the north and build a “gaudier restaurant,” read a San Mateo Times story at the time.
“There were a lot of problems with rats, and she had to clean it up,” said Melodie Madsen, Walsh’s daughter. “She had to tear down the fish market and then rebuild that, and then put in the bathrooms.” “It featured a lone houseplant, a cigarette machine and any odds and ends which Hazel could throw together,” read a 1977 story on Hazel’s. “Ambience was always an afterthought.”Chef prepares food for customers at Barbaraʻs Fishtrap in Half Moon Bay Calif., May 4, 2023Lance Yamamoto/SFGATEBarbara's Fishtrap is a popular destination for weekend day-trippers. .
“We sell gallons and gallons of it per week,” a manager at the restaurant told the Oakland Tribune in 2003. “Some people even take it home, freeze it, and take it back to the East Coast.”“She would take a 5-gallon bucket, she would walk down to the pier, and she would buy the squid off the boats, and then she would bring it back, and then the guys would clean it,” Madsen said. “She paid 5 cents a pound. Now we're paying $3.95 a pound for calamari.
