Fresh seafood? In Pike Place Market? Along a busy market place? With friendly and helpful staff? Say no more my friend, this place is the place to be for seafood. Coming off a flight from Houston to Seattle, taking a light rail/train and then an Uber to Pike Place, I saw this place first-hand and I had to get something to fix my hunger. I know there are many seafood vendors in Pike Place to try and eat, but this place stands out to me the most as my first bite to eat in Seattle! I got the Ahi Poke, and wow that was worth the price I paid! They had smoked salmon available to sample, and my goodness that was delicious to try! I also got the shrimp cocktail, and they put a ton of shrimp in there for many people to eat and try, it is sooo worth it for sure. Definitely come for the seafood vibes and to enjoy their food, very delicious! read more

Got some of their smoked salmon at $50/lb. We were walking around Pikes Public Market and they were giving out smoked salmon samples. It was delicious! Ended up grabbing some of the prepackaged garlic seasoned smoked salmon to go. read more

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. read more

Service was great and friendly. We tried the smoked salmon, and it was excellent. They offer free shipping if you order at least $150. Hannah was very patient and helpful when we placed an order. She gave great recommendations for the fresh salmon and cod fillets. We were able to place an advanced order to make sure nothing arrives at our house until we are back home. I will update my review once I received my order. read more

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. read more

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?

1 star for existing. -4 stars: -1: Condescending man who mansplained this is a "grocery" after us inquiring if there is anything ready to eat fresh and that was a preposterous idea . (Which there absolutely is everywhere, Lol). Thanks, gee, never been in an open air market before. I'm from Mars; no other open air markets exist anywhere outside Pike Place in the entire US. -1: Lecturing me I need to pay tourist tax and eat in restaurants, not the market. LOL. Have been all week and every time I'm here, sport. Probably would have tipped you too. -1: Providing incorrect info.: shrimp is clearly ready to eat fresh. Also, looking at Yelp, it's clear they used to serve ready to eat food. -1: smug AF. Very unwelcoming business makes you feel bad to spend your hard earned $ here. So, we didn't. Peace, smug fish guy. read more

I bought 5 lbs of halibut and 5 lbs of Pacific King salmon. The halibut was delicious. The salmon was inedible. I am not sure what the problem was. It had absolutely NO TASTE. It wasn't fishy tasting, it was tasteless and the texture was soft and mushy, even though I cooked it thoroughly. I'm very disappointed, as I still have 4 lbs of salmon left. My husband thought the same thing. read more

I went to look and see what fresh seafood they have.

I use their online ordering because it is hard to find good fish in Dallas. Their fish is super fresh, delicious, and arrives on time and when promised. The people are super helpful. I really appreciate being able to order fresh fish this way. read more

You guys rock! So much easier coming here than anywhere else in the market and the service is one of a kind. 10/10 I'll be back- legends

This is my go to every time I fly into Seattle. Of all the fresh seafood in the market this is by far the best. I get a couple Dungeness cups and their candied salmon is killer. The service is always on point and I get a laugh from the guy that runs it. I promise it's well worth it to skip all the others. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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!!! read more

City Fish - Best uni!!! Better than the oyster shooters in my opinion! - Seafood Markets Near Me - Seattle, Washington

While Pike Place Fish Market gets all the buzz because they throw fish around and they have that ugly monk fish on display, this place holds its own. Foot traffic inside Pike stalls here since everyone is looking at their seafood and all the food they offer as well. They have Uni Shots, Oyster Shots, Crab and Shrimp Cocktails, Salmon Jerky and Salmon Sticks. However, the best item here was their Poke! They sell both Tuna and Octopus (Tako) Poke and they are both amazing. It is a little on the spicy side, but who doesn't like that kick! I also tried their Uni and Oyster shots and they were pretty good. I was bummed they didnt have Uni on the shell but whatever. Check In on Yelp and get a free oyster shot! read more

I typically never write yelp reviews, but I hate being lied to. I asked if they can have the Dungeness crab cooked for me since I was going to eat it here and was told they can and it would take a few . After waiting about 5 minutes was handed over a frozen Dungeness crab despite specially having been promised they could cook it. They told me to take it down to the Chinese restaurant and they would cook it. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I could have just gone there to order the crab if that's what I wanted to do. RIDICULOUS. Then the guy subsequently changes his tune and says "it's cooked." It was frozen from display and just wrapped it in paper. IT WAS NOT COOKED. Don't let these guys lie to you it cooked, warm seafood is what you expect. They could have just told me they don't provide that service, instead they just LIED to me straight up read more

I love love seafood. When I saw on Yelp that this place had ready made crab cocktail, sashimi, and oyster shooters I had to find the place and try all the above! Pike Place is definitely overwhelming when you are looking for a particular stand. First time around, we almost gave up looking because one seafood stand looks the same as the next. But we found it! Location: I'm bad at describing location so bear with me.... it's kinda right smack in the middle of the main drag. It's not near the statue of the pig. From what I remember right out front of the street is an apple cider tent, but not sure if that's always there. If you look across the street there's the piano man. There, that's the best I can do in describing the location of the stand lol. We ordered: - uni in a cup (ate it with lemon and soy sauce... so good!) - oyster shooters (ate it with lemon and cocktail sauce.... so big and so goooood!) - salmon sashimi (I thought it was a lil pricey but it was sooo worth it) - crab cocktail (the item I was looking forward to the most, def did not dissapoint!) Price wise, I can't remember everything is estimated, I'd say uni was closer to $5, shooters $2.50, salmon, $12.00, crab cocktail $10?..... If I lived here, I'd buy fresh seafood from them to bring home to cook on the reg! I'd probably go broke lol. Friendly guys who work there as well! Writing this makes me want some right now lol. read more

SO SO FRESH WOW. It's a little packed in the area but there wasn't a wait. I ordered the $20 Shrimp Cocktail-- The shrimp was so thick and juicy--perfect texture. I'd definitely share it with someone because I couldn't finish it by myself. The service was real quick and it's cute because they put your change/receipt in a tennis ball at the register behind the fish, and throw it to the worker in the front. The guys in the front were so friendly and gave me an honest recommendation to get the best bang for my buck. The shrimp cocktail sauce was great and you can't go wrong, really. I just brought the shrimp to the mini park with that tall statue and had a mini picnic for myself. Fresh seafood & fresh air wow. I also got a oyster shot which was SO GOOOOOOD-- they basically just use the shrimp cocktail sauce but it was so refreshing omg. The oyster is huge too! I'd come back for sure. read more

City Fish - I ate some shrimp already because I got too excited but here is the $20 shrimp cocktail worth every penny. So juicy and fresh - Seafood Markets Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Here's all you need to know about City Fish: you're in, you're out, and you have fresh seafood that you can enjoy on the waterfront. The oyster shooters are 2 for $5, and the shrimp and crab cocktails are $10 each, and all are cash only so forget your cards and bring the dolla dolla billzzz, y'all! Like I said, service is super quick - you tell them what you want, they bag it up, and you're on your way to some incredibly yummy and fresh seafood to chow down on. Obviously, it's not a full on restaurant, so you'll just have to make due with standing or do what I did, and settle up on the curb and take your oyster shooters while people watching. Seriously, there's not a bad thing to say about City Fish. It's easy and you get great value! read more

This was my first seafood encounter in Seatown, and the only vendor that offered prepared personal sized take-out seafood. ATMOSPHERE: The take-out only counter is located in the middle of the Pike Place Market. They sell fresh seafood as well as handy to-go cups and plates. There are no tables or seats. FOOD: Dungeness crab cup - Super fresh crab stuffed into a cup and topped with horseradish cocktail sauce. Very good but I'm not a fan of cocktail sauce with my seafood, more-so because its laced with horseradish. Being as it was my first seafood fix of many, I gobbled it up, horseradish and all. SERVICE: Fast and semi-friendly. It is a busy, touristy place so I didn't expect much. read more

Very impressive team, City Fish has been my go to for fresh fish for a long time, but their new ownership/management has really stepped up and I think City Fish will be better than ever!

AMAZING! I wish I had more time to spend in Seattle as I would've really enjoyed buying all of their fresh fish, and crabs. With just a one day trip, I got to eat my way through. The crab cocktail is about the same price as others I saw in the market. It was fresh, sweet, and delicious; and a really nice size portion for the price. The guys here were really friendly and amazing; not only did they answer questions but they were really willing to pose for a photo. read more

This fish market is simply amazing on all levels. On a chance while here in 2016, I stopped here before visiting the Seattle Mariners game and had some sashimi grade salmon. I couldn't stop thinking about it for the next year so when I came back this year I basically sprinted right to this stand and purchased way too much amazing seafood at incredibly fair prices. The guys working here are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about the product they are working with. Even thought they didn't have pre-packaged sashimi the second time we were here, they were able to cut up a few filets of salmon and tuna and even found us some soy sauce. Everything they did was above and beyond. The quality of the fish is absolutely what you would expect from a premier fish market like Pike Place market. Next time I'm looking to put together a big dish for a party (like pallea or cioppino) City Fish will be the first call I make for the amazing ingredients (shipped anywhere in the US overnight). read more

The oyster shooters were great. The guy in front of them (bald, big and loud) was a tool. To be fair, the one behind the counter seemed much nicer but he isn't the one talking to most of us. I actually read a review on here to skip the other fish throwing popular spot to give these guys a chance - I very excitedly took our group over. I had mistakenly thought the oysters were able to be shucked - I got a very snarky response to the tune of "nope, good luck with that. We don't do that here" and I just had a bag of whole oysters. I mean not the worst problem but as a literal first time visitor to Seattle nonetheless a fish market who just didn't know, the condescending crap was so unnecessary. The attitude, the spot, just gah. GO TO THE FLYING FISH SPOT. When I asked about the oysters there I got a kind response there that was "sure, just so you know we don't shuck them here because we don't have a food license so you'll need to go to a restaurant if you already want them on the half shell" boom. An easy, competent explanation. Simple as that. What a tool. Skip this place for sure - literally everyone else in the market was nice (even if they're tired of tourists). Why bother going to a spot that puts a dent in your day? read more

Excellent place to check out if you want to try fresh seafood on the spot. They sell fresh uni, crab legs, jumbo shrimp, oyster shooters all in small cups. They have a tiny table on the side that holds all the condiments to go with your food. Prices are reasonable and everything I tried were amazing. Loved the creamy sweet uni and the shrimp were gigantic! They ship most items everywhere in 48 hours. City Fish Market is another Seattle must. read more

This was one of the stops during the free walking tour hosted by Jake, and they were very generous in their smoked salmon samples. I came back because I read on yelp about the 3 for $6 oyster shooters in addition to some other goodies like uni bowls and geoduck. Unfortunately, they said that they can't do uni bowls and geoduck sashimi for now. Perhaps regulatory reasons? But I was very happy with my oyster shooters. They were super plump, fresh, and DELICIOUS. After I finished the 3, I wanted more, but I had a crumpet with my name on it. Definitely recommended if you need a snack or have seafood needs! read more

City Fish - 3 for $6 oyster shooters. MORE PLEASE. - Seafood Markets Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I had been craving for some uni. I remembered that I had bookmarked this place for awhile so I decided to come here. I was sooo disappointed as they did not have any on this day. Oh well I'll just have to call before I come next time. They had poke, oyster shooters and dungeonous crab cocktails. But I got the humongous shrimp cocktail. They were very huge shrimp and made me full. You get four pieces with cocktail sauce and lemon. They were fresh and delish and only $13. If you get this at a restaurant it would cost you $18 and up. If you check in on Yelp you get a free oyster shooter. Unfortunately, I had to pass because my stomach doesn't do well with raw oysters anymore. They have all kinds of fish and shellfish for sale and looked very fresh and good quality. Of course you are also paying the price for that as well as being in a tourist attraction. But I swear the seafood here all looked huge compared to the other fish market where they toss that poor fish around. The service here is prompt and friendly. read more

DUDE. Definitely coming here again for sure next time I return to Seattle. Like, seriously gonna return everyday for a seafood feast. $10 for a HUGE uni bowl..... freshest uni EVER. Really can't compare. No fishy smell or taste at all. $2 for huge oyster shooters $10 for geoduck sashimi (I don't even like geoduck........ but this proved me wrong) $12 for salmon sashimi (I didn't get to try this but I'm DEFINITELY coming back for this next time..) Are you hungry yet?! They also have vacuum packed smoked salmon / fish for about $30+ depending on what you get. All the workers here are really nice and generous with samples. Honestly, I'm not even a fan of smoked salmon but their garlic smoked salmon was to die for. Soft texture without sticking to the teeth with really good garlic flavor that complemented the fish.. we bought a pound for home and killed it in 2 days. My only regret is not buying more. It's pricey but you could probably negotiate down. Sample fish and be sure to bring some home! Everyone will love ya. read more

Look for the old guy to help you out. He is super friendly and helpful. He even gave us spoon and fork to eat. The oyster shooter is sooooo delicious. Cold and fresh. The shrimp is so big. Crab leg is ok tho. We love the sashimi poki. Yum yum. When we go back for more oyster shooter and sashimi poki, the young guy wasn't willing to help. We wait in front of him for couple minutes, then his boss asked him to help us and he gave us the look that we are not welcome. We ordered the fresh scallop and he just stack opened shell 4 scallop together, we asked if he could just put the scallop in the bag without the shell and he said no. Our scallop was full of sand from the shell. Won't recommend to anyone. When we asked for fork, he said they don't have that. Bsssss Then when we left, we saw the old guy and asked for couple forks, he gave us the fork. We have him $10 tips because he is such a great guy. Please do the same if you appreciate his excellent service. So don't order anything from young guy and i really don't think his boss to put him in the front. We don't deserve his terrible attitude. 5 stars for the old guy and NO STAR for the young guy. read more

Stopped to look at the fish throwing and to take some pictures of the great seafood. Also checked on Dungeness Crab prices to pick one up later in the week and take it home with me. Purchased a crab cocktail to eat while walking around. Delicious Dungeness Crab, and lots of huge chunks with cocktail sauce on the bottom. Would have preferred to have the option not to have the cocktail sauce, but it was already there. It had a nice flavor and a good kick to it, but I really wanted to taste the full flavor of the crab by itself. Lots of different seafood cocktails to try from shrimp cocktail with jumbo shrimp to the crab cocktail, oyster cocktail, oyster shooters and much more. Lots of fresh fish to purchase along with crab, shrimp, clams, oysters, you name it, they got it!!!! Highly recommend to at least stop by for pictures and watching the fish throwing, but I would get a crab cocktail and walk around with it. Its delicious and easy to eat. read more

As a tourist I got sucked into this place. I saw a bunch of people lined up here ordering shrimp cocktails, ahi tuna, etc. in small cups. The small cup of ahi tuna I ordered was $5- not worth the price. It was fresh though and was quite good. I'm not sure how sanitary it is ordering this next to a bunch of raw seafood and was worried I would get sick but thankfully I didn't. read more

Great place for fresh seafood. The scallops were really tempting because it's still in their shell and they shuck it in front of you. Each one was $2 but it was 6 for $8. So good! The scallop was fresh. We also had oyster shooters 2 for $5. The oyster tasted fresh and it was delicious with the cocktail sauce. I'll definitely come back whenever I'm at Pike's Place to try their other seafood. read more

What really had me drawn to this particular market was their uni, ready to eat, sitting on ice right up in front. I couldn't just keep on walking. I had to stop by and pick one up to devour. The guy was super friendly...He gave us 2 unis for one because one of them was on the smaller side. Awesome deal. We also picked up some crab and shrimp to be packed up prior to heading to the NFC championship game. They made sure we had enough cocktail sauce, napkins, and forks. Great service. You can also get 3 oyster shooters for $6. We couldn't resist! Yes, the prices are high. That's what you would expect from a fish market at Pike Place. It's just something you need to try when you visit Seattle. They have a variety of fish, a heaping mound full of crap, and everything else you could think of. Great spot. Solid 4 stars. read more

Nothing better than getting fresh fish and oysters to eat. We made a point to stop here while we were eating around Pike Place market due to the reviews on Yelp. 3 oysters for $6 certainly intrigued us as well as the Salmon & Tuna Poke. We got here pretty late into the day (around 2 or 3 pm), and ended up getting the last of the Salmon Poke. They were already out of the Tuna Poke. After eating our food, I definitely wanted more oysters! Plump and fresh. The salmon poke was also fresh with a hint of spiciness from the peppers. Definitely recommend stopping here if you're planning to hop around Pike Place Market like us. I was a little sad they didn't have any uni bowls or shooters. I bet those would have been really good too. read more
