This spot is super popular, and there's almost always a line outside. They don't have too much seating inside, and you order at the counter then get seated with a number. We came on the earlier side and ended up waiting around 20 minutes before ordering. I got the dover and fries, and this was probably one of the best fish and chips dishes I have ever had! The fish was super duper thin and coated generously, and then topped with some seasoning mix that was so flavorful. The fries / potatoes were also insanely crispy and flavorful - the skins were the best part. I also really liked the tarter sauce that it came with! I can still remember how it all tastes. Definitely recommend the dover and chips, and I'll have to be back to try other menu items!

I have been wanting to try this place for a while now and finally made it ! This is a small shop in Fremont, and I have never not seen a line out the door, but they turn tables pretty quickly. On a Saturday evening, we waited in line about 20 minutes and then were able to order and be sat. All the staff was very friendly. Even though they were constantly busy and wearing different hats, they were helpful, smiling and overall really nice. The food was solid. We tried the smoked salmon dip with chips, the fried chicken sandwich and the the black cod kasusuke. The crab rolls were sold out by the time we got there or we definitely would have tried those. The salmon dip was good, lots of dill, and the chips were crispy. The fried fish sandwich was light, which was nice for something fried, and the roll it was on was soft and warm. The black cod kasusuke was my favorite dish of the meal. The black cod was tender and fell apart, and it was seasoned so nice. It came with a spinach salad and rice which was also delicious. If I could give half stars, this would be pushing a 4.5. Nothing blew me away, but everything was fresh and enjoyable!

Tried the salmon salad this time and it was delicious. It was well dressed and the salmon was very fresh and tasty. A great option for a lighter lunch or dinner

On the higher price-end, Local Tide has a small menu of gorgeous healthy and fresh dishes! The shrimp toast is 100% in the top 3 bites I have had in Seattle, absolutely no doubt!!! Just be mindful that the portions are a little small for what you spend though

POV: you just got out of the Fremont Flea Market(s) (both, mind you) after a morning of browsing through so many antique goodies that your head is spinning. The wind is howling. Your fingers are getting numb. Hunger blurs your vision. And then your trusty friend says, "I know a place for food." After a quick drive and gentle uphill walk, you arrive at none other than Local Tide. There's a line out the door. Your stomach gurgles. "It's worth the wait, I think," your friend proclaims nervously. You all choose to wait. When you get inside, you find that the crab roll you'd been salivating over is sold out. Devastating, but no matter-- you'd already chosen the salmon sandwich as your backup. Your friends also order the shrimp toast and smoked salmon belly dip to share. The sweet cashier thanks you all, offers you a seat quickly and says your food will be right out. The smoked salmon belly dip comes first. DELECTABLE. You're already starving at this point, but the staff notified you that there would be a slight delay with the other food, so you begin to ration the chips and dip. Fifteen minutes pass. Twenty. Once it's nearing 35 minutes, you're getting antsy. You're supposed to be at Pac-Sci by now, and it's already 3:15. Will you make it in by 5? Your friends are getting hangry. Tensions are high. Maybe you should just eat the cost of the sandwich and go... Just when you think all hope is lost, the waft of oil, mayo, and fried goodness hits your nose. It's here. The glorious shrimp toast and salmon sandwich arrive to the table, along with the cod, another salmon sandwich, and the rockfish bowl. The waiter serves you all an apologetic look and all of the previous heat melts away. Everyone digs in immediately, and for 10 minutes, the table is silent save for vigorous chewing and occasional "this is so good"s. You finish your meal. The sky is clear. You make it to Pac Sci in time. Would come back for that smoked salmon dip. Thank you, Will, for the rec.

I recently saw a post on IG about the food at Local Tide. I decided to take a drive over and see for myself, what this place was all about. There is not much parking available in the area, aside for the paid parking lots in the surrounding area; I almost gave up, but was able to find free street parking. Remember to check the signs, as not all street parking is free. I arrived for a late lunch, a little after 1 pm. The restaurant was fairly busy, around 70% capacity. There was a sign with instructions for seating and ordering posted outside. Upon entering, I was greeted by a very friendly worker; I informed her that I had never been there before and asked what she recommended. While I have done this many times, very rarely has the person opposite me asked my preferences in food and made suggestions accordingly. I explained that I wasn't too hungry but did want to try a couple items. She informed me that the shrimp toast was an item that almost every table ordered, then proceeded to detail how the dish was prepared and what it was served with. After ordering the shrimp toast, I was given a few more suggestions and decided on the smash burger. As many more businesses are moving away from accepting cash payments, I was asked for "exact change" if paying in cash. I explained that I wanted to leave extra money for tip, but if that meant paying by card I could do so. They were able to make the $5 change I needed. The shrimp toast showed up quickly after I sat at the bar. It wasn't as oily as I expected, which was great. Combined with the slaw, I really enjoyed this dish. The smash burger followed quickly behind the shrimp toast. The burger was quite filling, I ended up taking half to go.

Seattle did NOT disappoint when it came to the food options! I spent my birthday weekend in Seattle and my godsister recommended this spot. It is counter service and a line was already forming, always a good sign. The menu is small but still has so many choices at the same time, so we ended up ordering almost everything. When I say everything was sooooo delicious and fresh, I mean I still think about that food to this day. Truly phenomenal. The place itself is really cute but there is not a lot of seating. Luckily we were able to sit, wait, and eat next door at the wine bar. The staff was friendly and very helpful. 10 out of 10 birthday stop!

Literally the best fish and chips my boyfriend and I have ever had. The fish has a house blend of seasoning on it and the fries are crisped to perfection. The tartar sauce with a touch of dill was a perfect pairing. Staff was friendly and attentive. Just go and get it.

I came for dinner and it was quite busy. You order at the front before sitting down, which can be confusing if you didn't know. I ordered the chowder and my friends ordered the Rockfish Banh Mi and Fried Oysters. Overall, the food was good but a tad expensive for the amount of food, specifically the Fried Oysters. I'd try the Shrimp Toast next time and maybe the Dover & Fries.

Buk O.

Your reliably delicious neighborhood quick eat seafood spot. The owners/front staff have always been really friendly to me. Yes, they get busy as they are high on tourist spots but if you can get there early, it's worth it. My go to order are the fish sandwich, crab roll (only available Friday to Sunday), and when I feel like red meat, the smash burger. Inside is clean, you can see the kitchen, no fuss vibes in terms of service since lots of people are waiting but you can sit and chat if you want.

My brother and I visited on a random Tuesday for a late lunch, and thankfully there was no line. I've heard the lines can get pretty long here, so what a relief! We ordered the tuna melt special, shrimp toast, and clam chowder to share. I was expecting the clam chowder to be creamy, but the broth was more thin and runny than thick and creamy. It was decent, but nothing mind blowing. I enjoyed the shrimp toast the most; it was flavorful, crispy, and made for yummy bites with the sauces provided. The tuna melt special was $24 and tiny for the price in my opinion. They should split this sandwich into two instead of having it be one gigantic mess to eat. It was pretty good, but again nothing to rave about. We spent about $37 each and I still left hungry afterwards which is not ideal. The ambience is cozy and warm, and service is standard. I do think it's quite overpriced and overrated so probably wouldn't go back, but I'm glad I got to try Local Tide!

Thomas N.

I got the rockfish banh mi. So good. All the flavors and ingredients pair together really well. It definitely is a messy sandwich and a bit difficult to hold together while you eat but the taste more than makes up for it. Really solid spot and I definitely will be back to try the rest of the menu!

Sarah H.

I tried the salmon dip and the rockfish bahn mi. The chips were warm and crispy, the salmon dip was such a great appetizer. The rockfish was cooked perfectly and I enjoyed the toppings and sauce on the sandwich. We sat at the bar so it was cool to be so up close to the food being cooked and the preparation. The presentation of everything was also so impressive. We went on a Saturday for an early dinner and we didn't have to wait for a spot to open up. Overall, I enjoyed that their menu wasn't too expansive but still had a variety. I will definitely be coming back to introduce friends to the place!

This seafood-centric place offers a lovely mix of fried seafood and seafood sandwich roll options. Interestingly enough their fried fish options do not use the familiar deep sea cod but rather dover sole. Maybe more sustainable? Stuff tried: Clam chowder: love this! Excellent flavors with a good amount of veggies and Lots of pork belly flavor and whole manila clams! The bit of extra work to slurp out clams out of the shell is no bother! Salt and pepper home fries: perfectly done! Crispy and well seasoned! Fried fish sandwich: i really liked this! The American cheese and tartar sauce reminds gussied up Mcdonald's filet-o-fish which is in no way a bad thing in my opinion! This was inhaled quickly Dover sole bites: same sort of fish as in the sandwich but sort of in bits and pieces. Perhaps the odds and ends left after carving out the filets for the sandos? Good sharing option. Shrimp toast: takes me back to the shrimo toast you used to get on "pupu platters" in chinese american restaurants in the 70s and 80s . Shrimp is mixed with a bit of pork and is like the inside of a shu mai dumpling. It is deep fried and heavy in your gut. Dont eat too many or you will be too full for anything else Salad: why get a green salad amidst this fried armageddon? The hand torn sourdough croutons are a stand out touch. Your body will hate you a little less with some cucumber, romaine and green goddess dressing. I still need to try their dungeness crab rolls which is only a weekend thing and their home fries with smoked black cod looks good! My stomach is only so big so next time! read more

I'm a little surprised I haven't gotten to review Local Tide because I have been here so many times now. I love their rockfish sandwich and clam chowder - they are to die for. I recently tried the fried fish sandwich and that was good too. I also tried the bread pudding one time and that was a nice choice for brunch - it's really sweet but goes well with coffee. The representation is better when you dine in so I recommend eating at the restaurant over a takeout. Staff is friendly. Overall a nice vibe at the restaurant, but sometimes the music is too loud/repetitive. read more

We visited here for the first time today and I wish we had known a few things I'll share with you now. They have only 3 tables set up for dine-in. Totally acceptable social distancing wise, but definitely decreased capacity. You can get food delivered to the brewery next door but it's 21+. (We learned this the hard way) Apparently you need to call ahead and order the crab roll if you want any shot at getting one. And don't get excited when the sign on the wall shows you that they have some left. All of the food is very good, so don't be disappointed if you don't get a crab roll. I'm sure the crab roll is good, but I'm pretty glad we were forced to get something else. read more

Suffering from Covid-19 takeout fatigue? Local Tide is your answer. I stumbled across this place out running an errand and their clam chowder (clams made fresh in their shells) was out of this world! Absolute perfection. I paired it with a takeout lye roll from Sea Wolf but in truth the bread Local Tide included was fab too. Highly highly recommend. A fresh take on seafood. read more

Just had lunch at the Local Tide restaurant in Fremont. This place is hopping. There's a somewhat industrial feel to the interior. Crowded when we got there at 1 and still crowded when we left at 2:30. Never an empty seat. I had two small dishes. Fried oysters and the shrimp toast. Oysters were too salty but still quite tasty. The shrimp toast was very delicious, perhaps a bit rich. 1 of these dishes would not be enough. Two however was a little over the top. My friend had a crab roll. My common complaint with anything crab is there's usually not enough crab and too much breading. Hard to taste the crab which alone doesn't have a strong flavor. I believe he would agree. You order and pay upon arrival, so service simply consisted of bringing the food and refilling water bottle on table. However they did that quite well. We had a very good time but I probably won't eat there again. There's too many other places I'd like to try. read more

A Fremont gem - one of those "hey, I know a spot nearby" places that you're always happy to introduce to new friends when you're in the area. The service is wonderful, the space is modern and well-decorated, the food is unique and tasty. In true Seattle fashion, on the pricey side (e.g. an eye-watering $7 for a side of fries). We ordered the Salmon Burger and Chowder, which were both $16. The portions are small to medium sized -- good for a lunch or light dinner. - Salmon Burger (more like sandwich) 4.5/5 -- was crunchy and savory, with substantial pieces of whole salmon. The salmon was fresh and high-quality. It could have been improved by adding a small side, especially for the price, maybe some greens or fries to make it feel more like a complete meal. - Chowder 4/5 -- great seafood flavors, but thin in consistency for a chowder, more like a soup. I would try something else next time. We got lucky and found street parking across the restaurant and managed to snag a table right away. They also have a connecting brewery -- you can get drinks after there or order from the brewery if it's looking full inside Local Tide. read more

Fresh fish cooked perfectly in a really aesthetically pleasing setting served by super friendly staff. I had the rockfish bowl and my wife had the black cod kasuzuke. The rockfish bowl was excellent on so many levels. The fish was cooked perfectly and had a ton of flavor. The bowl was well balanced with some rice and a really delicious cabbage salad. I'm used to side salads being disappointing and this was the total opposite. I tried the cod and it was incredible, the texture was buttery and the marinade was perfect. It came with a really good spinach salad and some rice. read more

On my quest to eat local seafood in Seattle, I discovered Local Tide. A restaurant that showcases what the Pacific Northwest has to offer. The restaurant is small. There was a long line and you are seated after you place your order. No holding tables for your group. I was there on a Saturday so I was able to try the weekend only crab roll. The craft was bursting out of the sandwich. It was absolutely delicious. I read about the "Seattle freeze," but I did not experience that here. My server was great and came by to check on me. She was friendly and provide great service. The guy at the register wasn't as upbeat and friendly, but my server made up for it. If you're looking for local seafood in a trendy, modern environment, I recommend tasting it here. Looks like you can also order food next door at Asian Brewing, but I'm not sure if everything can be ordered from the brewery. read more

Been wanting to try this spot ever since I heard about it! Why did it take so long! I mean- c'mon...awesome menu, fair prices, helpful and happy team behind the counter and the food - full stop awe-mazing! Hubster got the Dover sole and fries, son got the special sandwich and I got the Black Cod! We also ordered a side of the fries. How can little chunks of fried potatoes be so crisp, soft inside and not greasy?!? I had a poor experience with some black cod this weekend at a Japanese restaurant in Bainbridge and just really needed a do-over! I jump started my love for Black Cod cuz Local Tide served me a delicious meal of perfectly cooked and beautifully plated Black Cod with some yummy spinach, cukes and takuwan served with red bean rice. I'm going to tell everyone about this place and bring my family here many times. We were super happy to sit in the restaurant but they also do takeout. I can't wait to try more of their menu. I doubt you can go wrong on anything! read more

Finally got around to trying this spot last weekend! We got there about 15 minutes before opening on a Saturday so around 11:45am and there was already a good size line (maybe about 20 people or so). We were super excited to try the crab roll that everyone was raving about online and we got the 27th one of the day (they only sell 30 crab rolls a day and they mark off each one they sell on a board inside). What we ordered: 1. Crab roll - 10/10. So good! The crab tasted really fresh and there was a good amount of crab meat stuffed in the roll. The bread was also warm and toasty. $27 may seem a bit steep for a sandwich, but with the amount of crab they give you, we thought it was worth it! 2. Shrimp toast - 10/10. Also amazing! They were like tiny bites of deliciousness. Tasted fried but not greasy with sesames on top. We didn't care too much for the dressing that came with it for the cabbage salad but overall still really good! $9 3. Smash burger - 7/10. The quality of the beef was good, but we felt like the caramelized onions overpowered the burger so all you tasted were the onions. Also for $12, seemed a little small for a burger. Don't think we'll get again 4. Crab bisque - 10/10. We didn't see it on the menu outside but my bf got a sample of it while waiting inside so we both got to try it. It was so good! Perfect to pair with anything on the menu, especially the crab roll. Crab/seafood flavor with a small kick to it. Will definitely order next time! Overall, definitely worth the visit! Come early on the weekends if you don't want to wait too long but it seemed like the line died down after about 12:45pm. So if you want to try other things besides the crab roll, it should be fine to come later! read more

I might be biased because I love seafood, but this place has great food. I would say it leans more into the fried seafood category for sure, but is a great PNW spot. I've been here twice and there are hits, for sure. I loved their shrimp toast and their albacore sandwich (it's huge and delish). But everything is really tasty so you can't go wrong. The inside is pretty spacious, it's a more casual place where you order at the counter and then find a spot to sit, and it has a cool PNW vibe with a clean esthetic. read more

This place is fantastic! Such a unique menu, fresh seafood, and in the middle of a great neighborhood in Fremont. You walk up to a counter to order, then take a number to a table nearby. A bonus is they're connected to Aslan Brewing and you can get a beer with you food, or in our case drink while we waited for our food to come out We tried the Rockfish Banh Mi, the Rockfish Bowl, and the Salt & Pepper Fries. Delicious flavor combinations, and sure to impress! This isn't like anything else I've had in town. Will definitely be back to try more of their menu! read more

Best place to get fish sandwhiches! Who thought fish sandwhiches can taste good? The salmon BLT is to die for. Melts in your mouth and you can barely taste the tomato but it along with the bacon and lettuce pair so well with the salmon and crispy thin bread. The fries came out and I was surprised it wasn't thin cut but it goes so much better with the thick cut. The clam chowder was good, reminded me of chicken pot pie for some reason, if you love clams this is yours because they give you so much! The rockfish cod sandwhiches is literally like a banh mi, if you love banh mi then order this! I'd come back! read more

During a craft beer outing (I went to Aslan Brewing's taproom right next door) I decided it was time for a bite to eat for lunch. I poked around on Yelp and Local Tide seemed to be something I was looking for. Something light and not from a chain restaurant. I went here and ordered their Veggie Sandwich. As I said... I wanted to keep things light. It was a perfect choice and the quality and freshness of the veggies that made up the sandwich did not disappoint in the slightest. The sprouts, cucumbers and caramelized onions were what I particularly liked from the sandwich. A fine place to go for a bite of lunch and you can get menu items bigger than what I had too like hamburgers which also looked great. read more

Small trendy fish restaurant serving fish sandwiches, small bites, salads, and platters with a warm inviting atmosphere. Counter service as well as table dining. I came for lunch and the restaurant was quite busy. No problem with seating my party of four. We ordered the popular fried fish sandwiches, along fried oysters, salmon BLT, and a side of salt & pepper fries. The fish sandwich consisted of two pieces of crispy fried fish, cheese, lettuce, and tartar sauce on a freshly toasted brioche bun giving it a nice tasty combination. Salmon BLT consisted a piece of freshly grilled salmon complemented with thick strips of crispy bacon to give a nice tasty sandwich. Oysters were a bit over fried but still good. The salt and pepper fries were potato chunks fried to a crisp and seasoned to perfection. Staff was friendly and attentive. Service was quick. Will definitely come back again. read more

Lovely food and people! I'd heard that this place had one of the best burgers in Seattle and had to check it out. It didn't disappoint; the burger was juicy and flavorful, with sweet caramelized onions and a nice light sauce on the pillowy bun. The outstanding part of the meal was the smoked salmon belly dip that came at request with an order of homemade potato chips; utterly delicious. I'll come back to try the other fishy mains... the special tuna melt sounded really good. read more

Second time at Local Tide. The first time was a Friday visit for a lobster roll a few months back, this time a rockfish bowl. The menu is sparse of details so if you want to know what's included I recommend scanning the QR Code or visiting the website. I instead relied on the workers to provide their guidance. I settled on Rockfish bowl -- which was a great choice. The fish was perfectly cooked and the mixture worked well. The Nioc Cham added a lot of great flavor, but perhaps a bit over-sauced so I couldn't taste the red rice or garlic dukkah, but I would still stay it was delicious. The mix of textures and freshness of the vegetables are all pluses. Next time, I want to try the fish and chips. Bon appetit! read more

It has been a while since I visited Local Tide. I ordered Dover nuggets, house fries, and a rockfish sandwich. Definitely recommend the items listed above! I personally like the grilled rockfish better than the fried fish sandwich I had in the past. The rockfish sandwich is mixed with pork and fresh vegetables which each bite has texture and great flavor. The house fries were crispy on the outside and soft center but not too greasy. The Dover nuggets were great and I love the texture of the fish. It was a bit over seasoned with salt but still delicious! I ordered a sandwich to-go and the chef offered to make it when I'm about to leave so it doesn't get soggy which I greatly appreciate! read more

Stopped by Local Tide during the Fremont Solstice Festival and was so happy to see that there was space inside to dine! I ordered the Chowder, which comes with a piece of sourdough. Surprisingly, the chowder is NOT just clam chowder. It comes with a good amount of veggies and other things, and the clams are in-shell. It was pretty filling for the amount, so I'd recommend getting it. We also got the Salt and Pepper Fries to share, which are SO good. I'd come back to try other items on the menu! read more

One of the best meals I've ever had in my life. Made sweeter by the owner, Victor who was super kind to us when we came in. We had the salmon sandwich, albacore tuna sandwich, salt and pepper fries, and the clam chowder. This chowder is the best soup I've ever had. BEST SOUP IVE EVER HAD. The fish in the sandwiches were so fresh, the bread was great and perfectly buttered, and the home fries were amazing and crisp. We wish we were visiting for longer so we could eat here again. Thank you guys for the amazing meal! Will definitely be back if we're in Seattle again. read more

Local Tide is a Fremont hot spot, and for good reason! Take a deep dive into their mini-ocean of a menu for some incredible seafood and other savory sides. The food here is fresh and flavorful, everything you'd want and more. It's the perfect spot for lunch. If there's a line, it'll move fast, it's worth the wait - the kitchen and staff are fast and focused. If the salmon is ever available, order it before it sells out.

Local tide and Aslan brewery work great together to bring a diverse menu of beer and food, being neighbors and a service window to exchange food and drinks. Very convenient to be sitting at the bar enjoying a organic brew, looking over a small but diverse menu, before choosing the rockfish bahn mi, service between the two businesses is quick, friendly, and knowledgeable. The sando was out quickly, almost looking to good to eat, but after walking all over Fremont, it wasn't going to just look pretty. Lots of flavors, the rockfish was mild and not fishy tasting, the cilantro, mint, fennel, and purple cabbage added more flavor and crunch, the Fresno chilies were mild, it went well with the Strawberry habanero disco lemonade beer.All kinds of flavors and spiciness being enjoyed. Aslan always has a good laid back vibe, and never a empty glass before asking for another. Looking forward to return visits to try some more temptations from both places. Great stop when you're in the Fremont area. Happy Yelping! God bless and Cheers! read more

Got the rock fish sandwich and salmon salad and a sparkling water and it came to around $50 plus additional for tip. Food was decent but not worth the price in my opinion. At the end of the day it was just a fish sandwich. You order as you walk in at counter. Service consisted of a server dropping off water at first, then utensils and napkin, then food: all three times without saying one single word or greeting. Ambience was casual. Tight quarters and very few tables. read more

I went to Local Tide for lunch after hearing much hubbub about it in the neighborhood, as the kids are saying these days. I got the Rockfish Banh Mi and Salt & Pepper Fries. Here's the rundown. First things first: the fries are not fries. They're little skin-on potato wedges, which I would argue are better than fries. They're really good, but a side of them is $6, and that's a dumb price for a side of "fries" of any kind. You do however get A TON of them, so at least there's that. These should definitely be served in half the quantity, at half the price. If you have "friends" to share them with, well then that's perfect, and I'm happy for you. The sandwich was good, not great. The bread was excellent, and the flavors were mostly there...the kewpie complimented the fresh cilantro and pickled daikon nicely, and the chilis lent a (very) slight kick. Unfortunately, the star of the show let the rest of the cast down, and really just didn't shine. It's hard to blame the fish though...clearly it was mistreated in its past, by someone who was entrusted to care for it. Who's responsible for this trauma we may never know, but it was the fish that paid the price. It ended up a little soggy, and a bit greasy, with very meh texture, and only a hint of crunch around the edges. Not exactly the flaky, crispy filets that I was hoping for, and that all fish sandwiches yearn to have inside them. I was waiting in the restaurant when my order was finished, and I work within 2 blocks, so being in the bag too long was not the problem. All in all, I wasn't terribly disappointed with my lunch. It was on the pricey side, but it also had a lot of good things going for it. But at a place that is so clearly seafood-focused, I really expect the fish to be handled much better. read more

Specialties

Local Tide is a NW seafood eatery. The Pacific Northwest is our home and we love it. We feel fortunate to have access to incredible ingredients from land and sea and want to support all the like-minded small businesses and communities that make this possible. We specialize in seafood sandwiches. The salmon sandwich, fried fish sandwich, crab roll, vegan sandwich, cheese burger and shrimp toast are all legendary. We source all of our products locally and sustainably. When it comes to food, we like to keep it simple. We prepare each dish with intention, allowing the ingredients of the NW to speak for themselves.

History

Established in 2020.

Local Tide started by doing pop-ups in Pike Place market in 2017 featuring a hand cracked dungeness crab roll and salmon sandwich. The success of those pop-ups turned into an opportunity to open our first restaurant in Seattle in Aug, 6th of 2020. Our mission is to make quality local seafood easily accessible to the people who live here. Local Tide is located in Fremont below the new Evo headquarters and next to the Aslan Brewery Tap House. We opened our doors on Aug 6th of this year. Join us and eat like a local.

got the Notorious PIG sandwich and the Buttermilk Biscuit while I was here…read more Starting with the sandwich, there were a ton of things to love about this The very first thing I noticed was how all-time crispy the pork belly was. Interestingly, the meat came in two separate pieces, arranges somewhat like an X or a cross in the middle of the sandwich. This certainly wasn't the eating experience of a typical sandwich with a circular meat patty, and I appreciate the creativity here. The meat was insanely crunchy, oily, and quite plentiful. Each bite felt a bit like you were biting into a crunchy churro, but without the sweetness. I did think the outside of the pork did overpower the inside, though, as I didn't taste the meat or the fat inside much, and due to the amount of breading the pieces ended up being a bit chewy The bun was quite good as well - it was pretty soft, fluffy, and served as a really good bookend to all the ingredients inside. I thought the lettuce and onions also were good. I don't know if I'm a fan of the jelly on the sandwich - but again, I do like the creativity. What did shine here was the aioli, however. In a lot of places, you don't really taste the aioli on a burger - but that flavor was ever-present on this sandwich, and it was really fantastic. The absolute best part of the meal, by far, though, was the biscuit I have to start with how huge this is. This is certainly not the size of a typical Southern-style buttermilk biscuit - rather this biscuit makes no apologies in its effort to stand out from the crowd. Absolutely nobody would mistake this for a traditional biscuit - on the contrary, I think on first glance most people would assume this isn't a biscuit at all. It's shaped more like a massive pastry. I hesitate to say that looks are deceiving, because it does look great, but its taste manages to elevate past that. This was SO good. The edges are baked perfectly - they're oily, crispy, crunchy, and perfectly flaky. All four sides provide an amazing base - like the walls of a fortress that surround the soft, tender interior of the biscuit. You can see the different layers from the outside as well. When it comes to the inside, there was so much to get through but every bite was heavenly. So much credit here goes to the honey butter - which when spread onto the biscuit, raises the taste level of the entire thing. I put so much honey butter on mine that I nearly finished the whole thing. When it came to the jam, it was good, but since it didn't combine great with the honey butter I mostly ended up just using the latter This place was expensive - around 16 dollars for the sandwich and 8 for the biscuit - however, I was quite full at the end

The signature noodle was much better than the prime rib esp considering price. The hand pulled noodles are def good - chewy and thick. Soup was flavorful. Pork was moist and tender but beef much less so. The prime rib noodles were ok but not sure worth the up charge. The drinks were not good. The popcorn chicken was ok. I think what stood out for me was the poor customer service. Our waitress clearly did not want to be there and it came across when we asked for water, napkins, etc. That flies when the food is great but in this case it was ok. I think wha

We had an unpleasant experience with the host today. When my boyfriend and I arrived, we asked for…read morea table for 2 and were told it would be ~ 10 minute wait. The host asked us to wait outside and said she would come get us when our table was ready. A family who was already waiting outside was called in shortly after, and we continued waiting. We saw several parties leave and many people come in and get seated right away, so we assumed they had reservations. After waiting about 25 minutes, we went back inside to check on our table. The host told us that we "didn't leave a phone number," even though we were never asked for one and were told to wait outside until she comes get us. Instead of acknowledging the mistake, she complimented my shirt mid-conversation, which felt like she was trying to brush it off. The entire time we were outside, we were the only people waiting, and we even saw her setting up the outside seating as the restaurant got busier. She never once checked in with us or said anything. The food was good, and our service once we were seated was great. Unfortunately, our first interaction with the host left a bad first impression and took away from the overall experience. That's why we're taking off two stars.

As we looked at the menu, we thought that the food choices were interesting and that it wasn't a typical american brunch offering. Upon our arrival the host was very accommodating as we wanted to bring in balloons and cake. They were very friendly and the food was amazing that we weren't able to take photos before devouring the meal. The place had a very cozy feel. 10/10 would recommend and would come back to try more.

This was easily one of the best meals we had on our trip to Seattle. Everything we ordered was so spot on but my favorites (yes, plural) would have to be the House Fries, Manila Clams, Albacore Tuna Sando and the Shrimp Toast! Why? 1. House Fries - deep fried tri-cut fries (extra crispy cause of the corners!) topped with melt-in-your-mouth smoked cod!! Seriously, don't miss out on this one. The cod on here is to die for!! 2. Manila Clams - these were cooked in a coconut milk based broth but they must have added some special ingredient giving it that extra richness and flavor. This dish was sooo good, especially with rice!! We cleaned this plate up in 2 minutes. 3. Albacore Tuna Sando - seriously, just look at those slices of fresh Tuna. You can't leave Seattle without trying their Albacore Tuna, and this place makes it perfectly. Their bread is also something I love here since they're sliced thinner than usual so each slice is extra crunchy and so light! 4. Shrimp Toast - The shrimp (turned into a homemade shrimp paste) was placed on top of extra crunchy fried bread and it was so good. Add this to your order - you won't regret it. We were really full and definitely happy when we left this restaurant. With this level of skill and freshness of food, we found ourselves saying that the food is worth much much more than what we was charged. I hope this place becomes a Seattle staple soon because it really deserves it read more

I recently dined at Local Tide in Fremont, Seattle, and I'd give it a four stars. The highlight is definitely their fresh seafood--the quality is good, with flavors that showcase the Pacific Northwest's bounty. The fried oysters were a standout, perfectly crispy with a briny sweetness that popped. The cod was equally impressive, flaky and fresh, cooked with care to highlight its natural taste. That said, I was disappointed with a couple of dishes. The shrimp toast, while flavorful, was way too oily, leaving a heavy aftertaste that overshadowed the shrimp's freshness. The crab roll, which I was really looking forward to, was served cold. My biggest gripe, though, is the portion sizes. For the price, they're small--fine for a light bite, but not satisfying if you're hungry or expecting value for your money. Also, you need to stand in line to order before they give a table to you and it does feel a bit confusing. Overall, Local Tide nails the fresh seafood angle, and the vibe in Fremont is great, but the small portions and a few execution misses keep it from being a five-star experience. read more

Local Tide is hands down Mr. and Mrs. C's all-time favorite whenever we visit Seattle! This spot perfectly captures everything we love about Pacific Northwest dining -- fresh, flavorful, and comforting without any of the guilt. Every dish feels like comfort food made healthy -- satisfying yet light enough to enjoy without regret. Even the salt and pepper fries, which might sound like "wasted calories," are absolutely worth every bite. Perfectly crispy, seasoned just right, and addicting in the best way! The location makes it even more special -- right next to Aslan Brewery, where Mr. C can enjoy his favorite local beers with an amazing variety on tap. It's the ideal combo: great food, great drinks, and a chill atmosphere. Whether it's rain or shine, this is always the place to be in Seattle. Local Tide never disappoints -- from the friendly staff to the consistently delicious meals, it's a must-visit spot for anyone who loves good food made with care. read more

Local Tide absolutely lives up to the hype! One thing to know before you go: there's usually a long line on weekends, so I'd definitely recommend getting there early. I stopped by on a weekend and tried the crab roll, and wow--it was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and packed with delicious crab. The buttery brioche bread deserves its own shoutout because it perfectly complemented the filling without overpowering it. We also ordered the salt and pepper fries, which are actually more like thick-cut wedges. They were super crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and seasoned just right. Honestly, they were the perfect side. Beyond the food, the vibe is really cool and laid-back, making it a great spot to hang out and enjoy some seriously good seafood. Between the fresh crab roll, amazing brioche bread, crispy fries, and fun atmosphere, I can definitely see why this place stays busy. Pro tip: arrive early and thank me later! read more

I had an amazing meal at Local Tide in Fremont, Washington! I tried the fried fish sando, the smash burger, and the salt and pepper fries, and everything was spot on. The fried fish sando was crispy, fresh, and bursting with flavor, definitely one of the best I've had. The smash burger was perfectly cooked with just the right amount of char and juicy goodness. The salt and pepper fries were crispy and seasoned to perfection, making them the ideal side to both dishes. The casual, welcoming vibe of the place made the experience even better. Local Tide is a must-visit if you're in Fremont--highly recommend! read more

Checked out Local Tide recently and overall had a good experience. I tried the shrimp toast and the fish sandwich -- both had great flavor. The shrimp toast tasted really good, but it was a bit on the oily side. Not a deal-breaker at all, but worth noting if you're particular about oily food. The fish sandwich was solid -- fresh, well-cooked, and nicely seasoned. I'd give it a 3 out of 5 -- not mind-blowing, but definitely enjoyable. Overall great vibe, good service, and interesting menu. Worth a visit if you're in the area. read more

I have grown up in Seattle and eaten seafood my whole life. Local Tide opened their doors this week for the first time. I got the Salmon sandwich and shrimp toast with an ice cold Aslan Coastal Pilsner. Let me tell you. It was a transformative experience. Hands down the best seafood I have ever had. The salmon was so delicate and perfectly cooked and the shrimp toast was legendary. Get you some!! read more

I recently tried the Dungeness crab roll at Local Tide. The flavor was spot on--the crab was fresh, sweet, and perfectly seasoned, and the roll itself was soft and buttery. However, for $30, I was expecting a bit more. The portion was pretty small, which left me feeling like it didn't quite match the price. Great quality, but not the best value. read more
