BOB HEILMAN’S BEACHCOMBER The smell of smoked fish has become synonymous with this beloved Pasadena Avenue restaurant. Everyone comes for the fish — mullet, salmon and amberjack — but they’re also here for the German-style potato salad, studded with bacon; frosty mugs filled with light beer; and one of the area’s best cheeseburgers.
