Where do I even start?…read more I feel blessed to live down the street from Fish Guys. You've no doubt heard how killer the poke is, that's why you're here on Yelp. Well, let me tell you - the hype is real! You can't go wrong with any option, but my personal favorite is the spicy salmon. And that's just the tip of the iceberg, my friends. Smoked salmon belly bowl is to die for. Same with the eel. So are ALL of the sushi bombs. Did I mention the smoked salmon mac salad is the undisputed king of mac salads? Don't even get me started on Sal's specials. From the crab rolls, to the Salmon Sinigang - the lunch options just don't miss. All of the smoked salmon is some of the best I've had in my 15 years living in Seattle. Especially the salmon jerky. I put the smoked fish up there with the best in PNW. All of the seafood here is so fresh, no matter what you're looking for you're getting the best the city has to offer. The staff are all amazing at what they do and are so friendly. You can tell they really love what they are doing and that speaks to how great the owners are. Love supporting good businesses. One trip and it won't be long before you have a new go-to take out spot and you'll be rocking fish guys gear. Trust me, just go...now.

Seattle Fish Guys…read more What can I say? This spot came highly recommended by the bride, and it did not disappoint! If you're looking for fresh seafood, this is the place. Inside, you'll find an amazing selection of fresh seafood, including salmon belly, large fresh prawns, fresh poke, and so many Hawaiian-inspired favorites even tempura batter and other specialty items. I stopped by to pick up some salmon belly to bring home, and I can't wait to cook it! If you're a seafood lover, I definitely recommend adding Seattle Fish Guys to your list.

It's especially nice when the servers give you the whole story and age and growing techniques and species for each oyster on the platter. Cocktails have been hit or miss but I can't even deduct a point for it because I've literally never had better oysters.

This place came up on our yelp search for whole crabs, which we need to have while visiting…read moreSeattle. The creamy dip in the head crab shell got us intrigued, so we headed there for dinner. After a short wait for a table, we got seated and got our waters. The server gave us a run down of the popular items, one of which was their sampler for MP ($160). It has a dozen oysters, a whole crab, geoduck, shrimp cocktail, and more. Good deal for sharing. That was way to much food, so we just ordered the whole crab and geoduck sashimi. We also got a couple side orders of rice. The crab was pretty small to share, but it was fresh. The dip was pretty good. The crab "fat" flavor was a little too subtle, but it was still a tasty dip for the crab meat. I had imagined that it would be a kind of crab chowder, but it's more of a mayonnaise mixture. I thought $71 for the crab was a bit pricey though. The geoduck sashimi was really good. There were portions of both the siphon and belly fat. This isn't a typical menu item, so I was glad they offered it. The staff is so friendly. They made us feel at home. I wish they could just hang and chat with us lol. They were so busy though. Anyway, we were satisfied with our meal and enjoyed our time there.

Half Shell is a wonderful seafood restaurant just north of Pike Place Market that really highlights…read morethe flavors of the Pacific Northwest. We started with fresh oysters, which were beautifully presented over ice with lemon and mignonette. They were incredibly fresh and delicious. We also tried the Dungeness crab roll, which was packed with sweet crab and served on a perfectly toasted bun. Everything tasted fresh, high quality, and thoughtfully prepared. The atmosphere is warm, stylish, and relaxed. The wood interior, Pearl Bar, and outdoor patio make it a great place to enjoy lunch, dinner, or happy hour. The cocktail menu is also impressive and pairs perfectly with the seafood. Service was friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout our visit. If you're looking for excellent seafood near Pike Place Market, Half Shell is absolutely worth a visit. We had a great experience and would happily return.

When I got inside, the receptionist asked me table or counter, I was by myself so whichever is fine so she escorted me to the counter seat. It's a good size of the restaurant whether you're dining solo, enjoying a date night, or catching up with friends and family. I ordered half dozen of the oysters on the half shell-shucker's choice and mini-tini. When I ordered at the counter, the staff said I can pick mini-tini from regular martini menu. Oh, that's great. So, I chose "i dream of aquavit" and she told me "it's a little bit weird flavor, is it okay?" What? What's mean weird flavor? But I was interested in, so I told her I'd like to know "weird flavor" lol! Shortly, my "weird flavor(lol)" mini-tini came and it looked cute, taste was okay. I don't like sweet cocktail, so it's good for me but hard to explain by words. lol! My half dozen of oysters on the half shell, fresh, sweet sea flavor, and yum!! I enjoyed my break time and I'd like to come back & try regular menu!!!
