Goteborg Opera House
One of the most famous attractions in Goteborg, the Opera House was constructed with a maritime theme, in order to embrace the city's sailing/fishing culture. Wonderful productions are always running, but if you cannot catch a show, at least stop in to see the wonderful construction of the place. Located along the Marina, the Opera House is also in good proximity to food and shopping.

Stagnaro Brothers Seafood Company and Restaurant, Santa Cruz, California
Situated on the municipal wharf overlooking the water, this salty little seafood place serves up some quality food. Clam chowder and open-faced crab sandwiches covered in cheddar and sprouts to name a few. Honestly when I was there, it did not get my highest rating for cleanliness or decor, but our waiter was very good and I did feel like I was on a fishing boat...
