This place is so cool! It's a seafood market but they also have food and happy hour! Oysters are $3 ea and wine by the glass is $10- what's not to love! We stopped in and purchased a bottle and sat outside and enjoyed the weather. Then we decided to try the burrata and tuna melt both were so delish! The tuna melt was cheesy and crunchy, the burrata was cool and flavorful. Would absolutely recommend this spot to dine in and enjoy some vino! read more

I placed an order for takeout for shrimp tacos. There are a couple tables inside the restaurant. My order was ready on time and the staff was great. I will say $16 for two tacos feels a little pricey to me. The tacos were good and the seafood tasted fresh. read more

East Anchor Seafood - Shrimp Tacos (2) - Seafood Markets Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Love the concept of this place! We just stopped by because we were in the area and super hungry, so we had low expectations. I love the idea of a seafood market that also cooks/serves food. The shrimp tacos were so good. The shrimp was flavorful, bouncy, and so juicy. We also got the canned sardines + add-ons which is such a great idea! You choose the can and they plate it for you. I do wish there was a bit more bread for it though. I had to ration my bread. Anyway, the food took a while to come out (maybe 20-30min) and we were the only ones sitting down. It's also pretty pricey!! So be warned. But still really good and I would definitely go back to try their fresh seafood too read more

Small location with a few seats and fresh fish for sale. I got the salmon burger with an arugula salad. It was very good and well put together. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was quaint. read more

Want fresh good seafood to rival everything on the waterfronts? Run don't walk here. Sooooooo good. My husband love's oysters on the 1/2 shell and I love all things fish. We did not want to fight lunchtime traffic today, so we went to our childhood stomping grounds: Madrona. We were greeted warmly when we walked in, seated promptly, and given water straight away. It's clearly a fish market with ~4 tables and a counter for seating, and also has a small retail section for specialty crackers, chocolate, jams and dips etc. I couldn't stay in my seat (we got some fig and olive cracker crisps, and Salmon spread to go). We ordered 4 oysters, fresh albacore tuna melt, and Ciopinno. All of it was a 10/10. The melt was not overly mayonnaised, yet was still creamy, it had fresh herbs and was not fishy. My husband said the Ciopinno was great: really mild and clear seafood broth loaded forth crab and shell fish. read more

Amazing shrimp tacos, it was my first time here. Perfectly seasoned and pretty generous on the shrimp. The service was great, very personable, even with a long line. I ordered crab cakes to go and they were absolutely delicious. The cakes are a good size and pretty worth the price. So happy to have this neighborhood gem! read more

I hate to leave a bad review, because I genuinely love the food here, but the lack of customer service I experienced today was honestly wild. I have ordered takeout from here multiple times, and probably 80% of the time there is some kind of issue with the order. It's extremely delayed (I'm talking 30 minutes past the pick up time) or there has been a mistake with the order. In the past, the workers have been very nice and apologetic, but today when they got the order wrong, they were incredibly rude. I understand that things get busy and are overwhelming in the food service industry, I've been there, but I treated as a nuisance for simply asking for the food that I spent $40 on. When I was given half of my order, I asked for a refund on the half it was missing because I didn't have time to wait for the rest of it. Instead of obliging or even apologizing, I was (not kindly) told to "just wait 5 minutes!" Well, 5 minutes turned into 25 and by the time I got the rest of my order, the first half was ice cold. The other half of my order was missing most of the stuff that was supposed to be on it and everything was just haphazardly thrown in there (see photo to compare--both were supposed to be the same dish). It was given to me rudely and with no offer for a refund or discount, even though I wasn't the slightest bit rude to them. And on top of that, the cook was audibly swearing and yelling at the other employee. Unfortunately, my family used to be loyal costumers, but we won't be coming back. The fact that I paid $40 dollars for this is kind of insane? I'm not normally one to complain, but come on. Do better, please. read more

I'm so sad they're no longer serving fish and chips!! They were the best in the city hands down. Please bring them back! Tartar sauce = chef's kiss! read more

This place was great! The staff is super friendly and the food is delicious. We had a feta, spinach salmon burger and the fish tacos. We had some local beers and non-alcoholic drinks. 5/5 - highly recommend this cute seafood spot. read more

OMG... Thursday Seafood Curry Soup... seriously best soup ever. Definitely homemade. Asked for +bread and the sweet girl grilled and garlic salted a beautiful hunk of baguette... perfection with the soup. Plus a cute little fish market with fresh fish & hostess style gifts. Good music and lively atmosphere. Just go! Love! Thank you! read more

I live in LA and literally fly into Seattle a few times a year and this is 1st stop for me. The best crab cakes hands down in the PNW....the Cesar dressing is amazing. I spend at least $120 on groceries here. To me it's worth it because it quality. I'm definitely far from rich so I know to budget for when I come here lol. This was the first time I actually ordered hot food and I was pleasantly surprised and now craving the Tuna melt Haha. The lady who cooked the food is definitely a top chef I didn't need to add salt or hot sauce to anything...winning! I will be back read more

Enjoyed this flavorful squash and pecan winter salad at this very cute, very small boutique seafood counter & gourmet market in Madrona. It looked small but actually ended up being filling enough for a very quick lunch, so don't be deterred by the appearance! I love small markets like this but I do have a couple disclaimers about the shop: *Staff seem too preoccupied to render personal and friendly service. I didn't get greeted upon entering even though they have an open seafood counter that's pretty much half their shop. *I initially was interested in their special-of-day written on the chalkboard, only to find out at check out that it's $30 for a small specialty crab burger I understand high quality foods come with a cost. I also understand that to have a retail space in Madrona during a pandemic costs a more than a fortune... But.... I just couldn't get over the fact that they didn't put the price point up on the board. And that once they gave me the price and my jaw dropped they just brushed it off like "oh yeah, people in this neighborhood can afford that". I feel like the least they could have done was suggest an alternative option instead of me walking sadly to the fridge to fetch this salad. This shop is so cute and has such awesome things, but this experience just put a damper on how I feel about them. Is it just me, or is service in the food/beverage industry declining since the pandemic? Does wearing a mask make things less personal? Do service people see guests as just a body? I miss the days of smiling people across the counter who are actually happy to impart their knowledge on food products they carry and are more than happy to walk you through the store belong you find great things to try. read more

East Anchor Seafood - Squash & Pecan winter salad - Seafood Markets Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Although they do serve food to eat there, for the most part, this is a neighborhood seafood market. We love the salmon burgers -- there are two varieties, and both are good. With such a small shop, the selection of fish (as in fillets) is fairly limited, but the quality is good. We still go to Mutual Fish, or Wild Salmon when we have need, or Wilson Fish in the Madrona Farmer's Market on Fridays in season, but East Anchor is very handy if we want the fish they have. read more

Cute little seafood shop in Madrona with outstanding crab cakes to take home and prepare. Prices are too high, but the food is delicious. One thing that makes me take pause about returning is the rude, sullen 20-something women behind the counter. I've been in prior and the people were friendly, but on this Saturday, the service was especially unwelcoming. After spending about $80 for an order, I wanted to peruse the shop, but they sharply suggested I wait outside for my order, using Covid as an excuse, meanwhile I was the only customer in the shop. I could have spent another 50 on vinegars, pastas, and cookbooks, but instead I was kicked out to wait for my order on the street. To those women, a big FU. Side note, they have a big friendly dog hanging out behind the counter, not sure that's per city codes, but whatever. read more

Solid food, especially the specials. The grilled salmon sandwich and halibut burger are exceptional, though they are only sometimes on the menu. The salmon cake sandwiches are pretty good, though often salty. You can order online, but they accept ZERO changes. I tried calling to request a change for an allergy, but they rudely said they only take orders online. There's room to improve in terms of customer service. read more

Good selection of fresh seafood. The seafood Curry was a standout. Only down is limited seating

Um yum! I just went here to grab a quick lunch and was a little nervous all they'd have was salmon (I'm a weirdo in the northwest who just can't stomach salmon) but was delightfully surprised that had many offerings! I got the shrimp ceviche tostada and it was really yummy. So yummy I didn't catch a picture. I also got Mac salad which has a really fun spicy kick. As I was getting rung up I was confronted with a giant delicious looking chocolate chip cookie so you know that had to come home with me too and boy was it yummy. What a great fun spot. They have a selection of fresh fish and then some gourmet breads, teas, pastas and fun gifts. Check it out. Yum. read more

Great spot for healthy and fresh seafood preparation the spot or to take away. We particularly like the soups and Poke. Look in the Frig too when you go in for salad and pasta options. Hoping they get another quality bread source since Columbia City is no longer delivering. read more

I am so very pleased that I discovered East Anchor soon after it opened, because I work right down the street. I eat lunch there about three times a week, and I am always thrilled with the variety this seafood shop offers. In the winter, they usually have a superb housemade soup, and when they don't, they offer a hot sandwich instead. They also make fresh, inventive salads and vegetable dishes daily, not to mention cookies made from scratch! Their consistently delicious lunch options can either be eaten at the shop (they have tables along the window, and you can watch the cute dogs go by while you eat) or you can take your food home with you. I also love everyone on the staff at East Anchor -- they are warm, kind people who love to socialize while they work. Seems like they're always whipping up something new, too! In sum, I think East Anchor is a terrific place to eat, the staff is wonderful and creative, and I definitely think you should check it out. I will not be surprised if you become a regular, just like me. read more

Such a great and convenient spot in "downtown " Madrona. Delicious and upscale delicacies to grab for a last-minute (masked) gathering with a few (socially-distanced) friends. Terrific, friendly service. read more

Great customer service, cute place, melt in your mouth food. All around great place! We got salmon burger and tuna melt, soooo yum.

Amazing fresh seafood and food served in a clean and inviting atmosphere. Love having this gem in our neighborhood!!

This is my absolute favorite place to get lunch!! I work right around the corner and come here at least twice a week. I usually get the Caesar salad and add crab. It is so tasty!! They put a ton of crab in it and its pretty big. I also get things from the fridgerated section and the poke! So good and such great people! read more

We ordered the fish tacos, salmon burger, 2 drinks, and a dessert to go. The tacos were good, but Unfortunately, the salmon burger was both made incorrectly ( wrong toppings) and was way over salted making it practically unedible. If you're going to pay the expensive prices this restaurant charges, you don't expect issues like this. I also wish they had added napkins as everything was messy and eaten with your hands. read more

Two things going on here that go well together.... lunch fresh and quick with incredibly fresh fish and seafood to go. -- the in house daily fresh made Grab and go lunch boxes of different seafood based salads my favorite is the crab salad but the smoked salmon is also impressive with in house light smoke. And while you are there, daily fresh fish to go for dinner. While you are there ask to see the private dining room available for rental in back. Grab a lunch to go here and you will be back weekly, it's that unique and fresh. read more

East Anchor Seafood - Crab and Snow Pea Salad, a 10! - Seafood Markets Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Came here just for a glass of rosé with a friend from out of town, and was pleasantly surprised to find so much more. We loved watching folks from the neighborhood come in and all be greeted as friends as they picked up seafood presumably for their dinners that night. The lone woman working the spot on a Sunday (pouring our wine, greeting and ringing up customers, preparing crabcakes) was delightful and super-cool in entertaining my 4-year-old when she could. We came just for the glasses of wine, but left with some market items from the small pantry shelf and a couple of sockeye/feta/spinach patties for our own dinner. read more

I never imagined anyone would open a fresh seafood shop in Madrona - good thing someone has a better imagination than I do! This place is fantastic and so convenient. I'm trying to eat more seafood but I'm über picky about it being fresh and sustainably caught, etc. so I can't believe my luck that this place opened in the neighborhood! I've purchased fresh halibut and prawns so far on two occasions. Both times I was very happy with the quality, freshness and price. I asked for my halibut to be cut into specific portion sizes and they politely did this for me. I love this place! read more

Love East Anchor! The food is always amazing... so fresh, delicious, and high quality! There is such care and thought that goes into this market, and it shows. The staff are always friendly and attentive. I recently showed up for a spontaneous "birthday party surprise", and the staff was extremely accommodating. Plus, they have the best prosecco in town :). I recently moved away from Seattle, and this is a *must stop* each time I visit. Do not miss out folks! read more

Some of the most fresh fish in the city. I live nearby and it is a pleasure to walk over and pick up a piece of salmon, tuna, crab cakes, to make for dinner. And the staff is friendly, professional and delightful to deal with. I am so glad they moved into the neighborhood. I can pick up an amazing piece of fish for dinner at the last minute. read more

This is a wonderful establishment. Truly embodies the values of the Madrona neighborhood. I come here very often.

Amazing selection of seafood and prepared dishes. Always friendly! Love this neighborhood gem in the heart of Madrona. Dog friendly too, can't resist stopping by with my furry friend to say hello and grab a bottle of wine on the way home. Highly recommended! read more
