    We love City Fish and we are getting salmon to ship home. They give you samples that are so delicious! They also have scallop on the half shell and oysters and poke and shrimp cocktail with amazing sauce. $200 to ship for free and it's fully guaranteed! Good for 3 days unrefrigerated

    We came across this business at pike's place. The staff were very personable & kind. I purchased some ceviche and sampled a piece of smoked salmon. The smoked salmon and ceviche were amazing! You can also place orders for their fresh seafood online and it will be shipped to you.

    City Fish is located in a narrow and crowded walkway in Pike's Market. A lot of fresh seafood! No fish throwing here (or not when I was here). The guys are friendly and helpful.

    If you're looking for fresh seafood that's ready to eat, THIS IS THE PLACE. I ordered the $15 ahi poke, and it was prepared with love! The fish was incredibly fresh, with that perfect buttery texture that made each bite a delight. The marinade was spot on, balancing savory and slightly sweet notes that enhanced the natural flavors of the ahi. It felt like a true taste of the Pacific. The atmosphere at City Fish is vibrant and bustling, which adds to the overall experience of being in Pike Place. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, making it even better.

    City Fish is a hidden gem in Pike Place Market! Their classic Smoked Salmon is the best all around. Melts in your mouth, perfectly seasoned, and fairly priced. If you want great seafood from the *real* Pike Place Market, this is the place for you. And this is coming from someone who lived in Seattle for eleven years and spent 3.5 years working IN the market as a Food Tour Guide. Trust me.

    First time in Seattle, wanted to try the Dungeness crab here We ordered the pre-processed Dungeness crab in a cup Taste 0.5/1* Definitely some fresh crab, though not as sweet as expected, the sauce was a good compliment Value 0/1* Plenty of other places for crab just as good Service 1/1* Fast, friendly, no complaint Cleanliness 1/1* It's a fresh seafood stall, as clean as it gets Overall/Revisit 0/1* No reason for another visit Paying for ambience? YES for the hype Above and beyond? +1/+1* The throwing fish was a nice gimmick, and the fact they yelled 'nice tip...oyyy' was a nice experience too

    What will you pick?

    Loved this market with fresh everything seafood. Smoked salmon available to take home. The market was clean and the employees were happy to help and answer questions.

    Fish I ordered from the city fish market Seattle.

    The fish they sell online is not good quality, and my last order was totally inedible and they refused a credit., for a refund.

    Do not cheat yourself! Visiting this seafood stand is a MUST when you visit Pikes! Ever since our fist visit, I knew anytime I came back to Seattle that this would be a must do. They sell the freshest seafood and will pack it up and ship anywhere in the US! On top of that - they also have fresh seafood for eating. The jumbo shrimp cocktail is always so sweet and succulent. The crab cocktail is even better - the crab is huge lumps and pieces, some of the sweetest crab you will ever have. And I don't know what they do that make their oyster shooters so amazing but they will leave you wanting more.

    Shots shots shots!

    So let me ask you, Is Ignorance really Bliss? Was Tennyson right? 'Tis better to have love and lost, then never to have loved at all? Gurrrrrl, What is wrong with you? Sigh. I get dramatic a little when I think about my experience here. It was a beautiful day in Pike's Place. Fresh off the plane, I was focused on my pursuit of yumminess and made a beeline to Pike Place Market, luggage and all. I was happily listening to the street performers singing tunes and chompin' on my second salmon pate piroshky which I scored from piroshky piroshky. Suddenly, I remembered that my lovely siblings ate oysters from somewhere at Pike Place Market. They texted me pics months before, happily creating envy in me. They were apparently, "Sooooo goooood" that my lil sis, an oyster-hater, was miraculously converted. Hmmmmmm. Interesting. I, on the other hand, have always loved oysters. Seafood. Love. synonymous. The middle sis texted me saying the location was right across piroshky piroshky at the fish place where they DON'T Throw fish. Found it. "Hi! I'll take three of the oysters shooters please." I wish I could tell you the price, but honestly, It doesn't matter. I would happily pay three times what they asked. It was one of those Pivotal moments in life when the Earth Shifts, and all you thought you knew was suddenly an unequivocal lie. At first TASTE, The Skies Opened up, Rainbows Appeared, Unicorns Frolicked, Fairies Dusted, Dragons Flew, Mermaids Splashed...These Oysters. Oysters of the gods. Oysters from King Neptune Himself. I thought I knew what oysters were supposed to taste like. I didn't. Creamy, Rich, Delicious morsels of Ocean unassumingly dished in a plastic cup with cocktail sauce and lemon. WHAT?!!!! How did I not know? And now that I know, there is no Bliss from the oysters down here. Comparison is bittersweet disappointment. If you love oysters, maybe ignorance IS Bliss. Maybe don't come here. Because now that I know, Maybe 'tis better to never have had them at all.

    Best uni!!! Better than the oyster shooters in my opinion!
    Maria C.

    I visited this place twice when I visited. The first time was for the oyster shooters. Since my last visit, the oyster shooters went up in price but still worth the taste. It is now 3 for $6. The ones on the display case has the lemon wedge and the cocktail sauce. I don't care for the cocktail sauce so I asked for my oysters to be shucked. They were happy to do so! So good! Very meaty and the portion was so generous. The next day I came back and ordered the fresh uni $8. Wow! So fresh and delicious!!! Best uni I've had!!! Large pieces and plentiful. The gentleman also gave me a free sample of fresh smoked salmon. AMAZING!!!

But the lunch omakase special is what I really wanted I think. But even so. The poke bowl was mixed. I have to unfortunately knock off the stars/taste because the rice I got was literally the worst rice I've ever had touching raw fish. The rice was like hard and stale. I even had a clump that looked like it was the burnt part from leaving it on the cooker for too long and it couldn't bite it. I know this place is for the fish, but there's a bare minimum expectation on rice quality. And the fish itself was good? Maybe cuz it's the poke and not the omakase (so mixed chopped pieces) but there were pieces that tasted super fresh and delicious and then there were pieces that had so much tendon I couldn't bite through it. The folks there were super nice and friendly especially since I had no idea what to order. Just wish I was more delighted by the meal, especially cuz it was like $18 poke bowl. I'll give it another try with hopes it's better next time.

First of all, the oysters were outstanding! They have tanks here, so the person who takes your order picks your oysters. The oysters were uber fresh, briny and succulent. Secondarily, the salad was large and a nice palate cleanser w/ the lemon and fresh anchovies. The blonde waitress was really nice and brought me more anchovies. Next was the steamers (clams & mussels). Both shellfish were super fresh and cooked in a mild broth. The only thing missing was some frites. Lastly, the moqueca had a rich broth, and a little bit of rice to balance the broth. There was a ton of fresh seafood, and we dipped the sourdough baguette to mop up the broth. Regarding the ambiance, its open and casual. The tanks are in the center and you can see all the fresh seafood inc dungeness crabs. We interacted w/ three staff, and they were all super friendly & warm. We appreciated the great service, and were happy to pay the 18.9% service charge. Taylor has a few locations in Seattle, and I believe you can also do a tasting tour at their actual farms. After my experience, its no wonder they've been in biz since 1890.

The only real sour note wasn't on the menu: the automatic 20% service charge. Tips used to be optional appreciation. Now they're just payroll with extra steps. Nothing blew us away, nothing disappointed hard. Solid 4 stars.

What immediately caught our attention (for obvious reasons) was the bold sign: LIVE KING CRAB. We walked in and were instantly impressed. Large water tanks filled with live Dungeness crab and live king crab, crystal-clear water, and absolutely no fishy smell--always an excellent sign. The space feels more like a clean, well-run warehouse set up for both wholesale and retail, not a typical seafood market. A gentleman working there quickly came over and started chatting with us about crab. Super knowledgeable and friendly. They offer a wide selection: live, fresh, and frozen crab, Japanese scallops, fish, and a variety of shellfish. We considered the live king crab, but it was honestly too big for the two of us to handle in a hotel kitchen--and definitely would've been a splurge. So, plan B: I called my sister-in-law to see if she'd like some frozen king crab legs. She said yes immediately. The gentleman showed us the frozen options, and the king crab legs were long, meaty, and impressive--similar in size to what Costco carries, but priced better. We ended up negotiating a great deal and purchased a box of their Party Pack King Jumbo Crab Legs for her. Later that evening, she surprised her daughter with a king crab birthday dinner, and they reported the legs were super meaty and absolutely delicious. Safe to say, we'll definitely keep Seattle Seafood Center in mind for future seafood splurges. If you love high-quality seafood and especially crab, this place is worth a stop--even if it's an unplanned one.
