Fresh Seafood
Lloyd C.

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.

Ahi poke
Henry C.

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.

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

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!!!

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!

I ate some shrimp already because I got too excited but here is the $20 shrimp cocktail worth every penny. So juicy and fresh
Sarah S.

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.

Great shrimp it's so fresh! Oyster shots are okay. Sometimes fresh sometimes they are too sandy or fishy tasting.

A visit to Pike Place Fish Market is a definite thing to do when in Seattle. There is so much to…read moresee! The fresh seafood, fruit and veggies, flowers, and all sorts of vendors selling some unique products as well as lots of touristy stuff. And lots of food options to choose from too. And so many shops. It's so pretty along the water. The guys who toss the fish make sure everyone that walks by gets a good show. They must get tired of tossing that fish. And that poor dead fish that keeps getting tossed--it must be mush by the end of the day! We didn't go to the gum wall this time. Saw it the last time we were here and I didn't need to see it again. On this day it was super busy! I think mostly because of the cruise ship in port. So, if you are okay with the crowds, give yourself some time to walk and explore all that there is to offer here. Note that the traffic all along Alaskan Way was a log jam! We took the Hop On-Hop Off bus and didn't have to deal with traffic and parking.

A friend ordered me some bairdi crab to be delivered a couple of blocks away from the store. I'm not sure how it works but she did it with toasttab and uber. The order was never delivered to my office and uber was no help to resolve the issue and the drivers phone number would not allow access to help him locate me. He delivered it somewhere from the picture he took but not to my office. We both were making calls to the Market and Ryan went above and beyond. He was willing to walk to my location to deliver me what was paid for even though they were not to blame. What a great person and business model. I went to the market to pick it up as to not take him away from his job and him fix someone else's incompetence. Will I recommend the Market to friends and you all who read this. Heck yes and the crab was awesome too!! But I would not use uber eats or toasttab if you want delivery. Thank you to the staff and policy makers at Pike Place Fish Market, what a great example.

Upon walking in, we noticed the server was pretty quick to take the initiative to push a couple high tops together since most of the tables only sat 2. We also had a child with us so he offered us a booster seat. I feel like that was the last time we were treated pleasantly. Our server was very dry and direct when he approached us. I told him my husband has celiac and his response was "Ok." I followed up with so can you tell us what options we have that are Gluten free friendly? (Didn't think I needed to ask after mentioning a severe allergy) He just stepped away and looked like he was trying to find out from someone in the kitchen. He came back shortly after and gave us our options. We ordered a few different things to share, oysters, the fish dip and mussels tostada. The vibe we got was that he did not enjoy serving us because we had a child with us and I seem to be asking him too many questions. That is the impression he left with us. I will say the oysters were very fresh and enjoyable. We also got the crab Mac n cheese which was cheesy and tasty. We asked him for some more chips since we ran out quickly for the smoked oyster dip. He seemed annoyed but got us more. I could overhear that he sounded more pleasant with the other guests surrounding us. The mussels tostada flavors were nice but I didn't love the texture of them which is totally just my preference. He dropped off the check shortly after and noticed there was a 18% gratuity which I found out is standard for downtown Seattle. Being in the industry I do think it's a courtesy to mention it when dropping off the check to a guest. On another note, I did think the seafood tank in the center was cool because you could see all the geoduck and oysters they were offering. Overall, I think we wanted to enjoy our experience more but the servers attitude and demeanor towards us was off putting and we just tried to eat quickly and leave. Don't think we'll return to this location.

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.
