Closed in early October, Skippers Seafood & Chowder House reopened with new owners in the southwest corner of the Silver Lake Mall parking lot. Marcie and Darrell Oyler and daughters Ally, Rachel and Emily have recharged the place. With 12 years of Skippers experience, Marcie serves wild-caught Alaskan fish and clam chowder 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday and until 9 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, but the store is closed Sundays. The Skippers chain started in Bellevue, Wash., in 1969, went through several stages and now has 58 outlets in the Northwest. Check Facebook and Instagram for daily specials.
