Isn't this where the John Steinbeck novel was about? Cannery Row? Never read it.

Yes, Cannery Row and Sweet Thursday were both set there. The National Steinbeck Center is in nearby Salinas.

Went to school in Monterey and enjoyed the aquarium and other sites a great deal. The Monterey Bay is beautiful. It's become pretty "touristy" but worth the trip if you are passing through the area. Some fabulous seafood! My favorite- The Monterey Fish House.

Nothing better than anchovies on saltine crackers. I think I'll peel open a can and have at it!

Won; I had no idea there was such a thing as sardine snobs ! At some point during a hunt my late FIL would break out the sardines in mustard sauce and the saltines, and I can almost guarantee they came from the Dollar Store or whatever was comparable. But they sure tasted good with a cold beer! I had these for lunch today; really don't remember where I bought them but they were mighty tasty...

I’d be up for trying the smoked scallops !
