Hi all

So last weekend we took a spontaneous drive out to Anacortes — hadn’t been there in years — and we ended up by the docks just in time for the golden hour. Got hungry, of course, and thought it would be fun to find a place that really knows their seafood. But not just any seafood — I was specifically craving halibut, maybe grilled, nothing fancy. Surprisingly, we struggled to figure out where to go on the spot. A lot of places seemed to offer "seafood" in general, but we weren’t sure which spots really specialize in particular types of fish. That got me wondering — do any of you know if there are restaurants around Skagit that are known for specific things like salmon or shellfish? Would love to have a go-to place for each type.

Does anyone else get completely stuck just starting a task? I swear, I can have everything prepped — clean desk, clear to-do list, coffee in hand — but I’ll still sit there staring into space for 40 minutes. It’s like my brain hits a wall right at the beginning. Once I’m in it, I’m fine. But that initial step feels heavier than it should. Any ideas why that happens?
