Half Dozen Quilecene Oysters
Lulu T.

I visited jacks fish spot earlier in the day and they still had some seating available. This seems like a cheap, easy, no nonsense type of place. I got the 1/2 dozen oysters and they were alright. Briny, hit the spot, and only $14.. Staff were friendly but I probably wouldn't go back for oysters. One of them had a bit of shell in them, and they weren't that memorable.

Thick chowder and great fried fish. Fries could be crispier. But a totally no frills solid spot to get a quick bite

Fried oysters & clam chowder
Estella K.

Found this gem inside the market! Limited seating available but vibes were immaculate. We ordered fried oysters and clam chowder and it was just what we needed on a cold day. Had to dock off a star for the fried oysters because they were very undercooked but think it was just a one off. As we were eating, we saw a lot of people order their salmon plates and steamed dishes and I'd definitely be back to try other menu! Great place located in the market and shorter lines than pike place chowder! Prices are also very fair

3 piece True Cod

Best fish and chips in Seattle. I like going here in the off season on cold days...it's covered but in the open market so you're kind of exposed to the weather. The seating is pretty dive-y...stickers all over the sticky stainless steel chest high bar. Only have seating for maybe 10 if you're all cozy. But...market ambiance, and quality of product make this an all around Seattle experience. This is a regular spot.

The grilled salmon plate at Jack's Fish Spot is a standout, featuring perfectly seasoned, buttery fish that highlights the incredible freshness of the market. The vibe is classic Pike Place Market--bustling, rustic, and unpretentious, with the energy of a working fishmonger shop. Came during lunch hour, the service is remarkably efficient, getting high-quality seafood from the counter to your tray with impressive speed.

Garlic fries and One Whole Dungeness Crab
Leah P.

While shopping around pike place, I had stumbled across jacks fish spot. I was intrigued by the fresh fish and smoked fish at first. Then the signs of fresh steamed Dungeness crab drew me in to try. I had ordered 1 steamed crab and decided to pair it with garlic fries. The wait was only about 10-15 minutes but we got lucky there was a super short line. The line started to grow tremendously once my sister and I got seated. The crab and butter were so delightful and delicate. The meat was so tender, slightly sweet and had the perfect firm bite. The fries were on the salty side but the garlic was so good. Luckily we were able to get over the saltiness by just wiping/ tapping the excess salt off.

This spot has small menu but good quality seas food! I was there before a couple years back and was excited to come back this time around. I really enjoy their oysters and creamy clam chowder. Everything comes out super fast and looks great overall! They have some counter space to have your meal at, but it's crammed and gets crowded fast. Especially annoying when a group of people hold the space while eating food brought from a different food stall (a bombastic side-eye if you do this)

Steamed Clams
Smith N.

Well in Pikes Place, what can you do but eat! I stop by here for the steamed clams, fried oysters, and clam chowder. They had a decent line, but were able to knock it out. The staff are cool and chill. I been here a few times, things are becoming a little weathered. I get it, it's the ambiance, but having unwrapped forks in a container that looks it has rust. Cmon, at least change it out. But anywho, the food came out fresh and delicious. The clam chowder had decent chunks of clams in it. The fried oysters were nice and thick. Then the steamed clams were great, it had chunky clams too. Overall, I been coming back, it has what I need. Yummy and consistent food!

Clam chowder
Jennifer D.

A thick creamy and flavorful clam chowder. The smoked salmon cocktail was served cold on a bed of lettuce and smoked just right. The fried halibut, delicious!

Foodie road trip through Seattle and lucky to cross the pike place market off the bucket list. After taking a lap to narrow down my spots, I started with here for the crispy fish and chips. Really enjoyed the fish and the texture of the batter. Fries were fine. Good value for the area. Enjoyed how it reminded me of the strip district and oyster house ambiance back in Pittsburgh.

Successfully got all my friends to like oysters because of the oysters I had here! My only thing is I wish they served them with Tabasco because the cocktail sauce kinda threw everyone off. Other than that, super fresh and HUGE!

Chowder
Richard S.

In Pikes Fish Market....this place is a good option for lunch. You see that shrimp cocktail...sure...they're dinky little shrimp. But it was cheap cheap cheap....the shrimp were a great taste. Then the cocktail sauce: the best I've ever had! Chowders are decent...not best ever by any means. The place was busy as all get out...but they get the food out to you quick enough.

Got the fish and chips from here along with cocktail crab bowl and a clam chowder. It's average taste at the best . Not enough seating place here , so we took the food and sat on the public seating area in like market . My kids love Fish and chips but they too didn't like it . Fries looked old , as if it was cooked in morning and served in evening . Didn't like it much . 3 stars as the quantity justified the price although the taste didn't. .

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.

We initially were going to the Pioneer Square location but couldn't find a parking spot after circling a few times; I really wanted to go there as I've never been to this location. We came to this location and there is parking just across the street with easy access to this location. Love that the oysters are in tanks in the seating area and such a fresh smell. We ordered the sampling of most of the oysters and all were great and a few were fantastic. What really made this visit over the top fantastic was that they had fresh SEA URCHIN that was incredible. Not sure if this is normal to have sea urchin, but we scored this time. Definitely, Taylors is a fantastic place to eat oysters and has got better as we've gone to Taylors for years.

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.

Seattle Seafood Center was such a great find--one of those unexpected gems you stumble upon while…read morelooking for parking for a nearby restaurant. 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.
