This is an amazing fish market. The ladies who work there are super friendly and helpful. We stop in every time we go to Seattle to visit Larsen's Bakery. The hubby loves their pickled herring. I get their shrimp pasta salad. This last time we sampled their cioppino and it was delicious. So we took home a frozen container to have it next week. Yum. read more

This is the best place in Seattle to buy fish. (Former Alaskan fish grader & slimer here). I know my fish. It's better than the market, better than, well everywhere in Seattle. They always have the freshest fish and the best quality. Try the Yearling Otsters (smaller than the Extra Smalls). Just got some killer salmon. Right now the also have Halibut, Halibut cheeks, crab, prepared crab cakes and more. If it's in season they have it. read more

This place embodies everything I'm looking for in a neighborhood specialty market - friendly, knowledgeable staff and premium quality. The sign outside tells you what's freshest that day. I've purchased cuts of halibut, ahi tuna, salmon and opah there that were all among the best I've ever had. read more

Wooed by the gushing compliments of other fish fans, I tried Ballard's Fresh Fish Company on Saturday. Speaking on behalf of the service and product quality, this is a top shelf institution. Great suggestions and feedback, incredible quality (cod & crabcakes). At the register my sticker shock hurt a bit. But after frying 2 lbs of fresh ling cod and browning 3 enormous crab cakes (heavy on the crab, very little filling), I'm still a big fan of FFC. For those meals that require ultimate freshness and quality, it's worth a few extra clams to get the best. read more

We recently bought our first house and were delighted to discover this gem just down the street. We visit The Fresh Fish Co at least 2x/week and enjoy their fresh cuts of salmon, halibu, black cod, sole, and more, all which are really fresh and fairly priced. They stock enough extra items - tomatoes, lemons, panko bread crumbs, avocados, etc. - so you can prepare a full meal without a trip to the store. For a special treat, try the crab and artichoke dip! read more

This place has a decent selection of seafood with terrible customer service. If I had other options anywhere nearby I would go elsewhere, as it is I'm stuck giving them my business read more

I suppose "Fresh Fish and Weinies" or "FRESH MEATS" didn't sound as nice. But they do have a variety of animal fleshes. I picked up some sashimi-grade ahi tuna. Just as much as I could afford. I wish I had more flexible income, because in addition to the fish, mussels, sausages, and jerky there was beer, meat rubs, sauces, and all sorts of little jim-bobs to make dinner good. The staff are outstandingly polite - did everything short of bow after ringing me up. read more

The cioppino is pretty solid, the sausage selection (!) is surprisingly good, and yes, the seafood, so long as you stick to the local specials, is excellent. Wasn't super impressed by the sushi grade ahi tuna, but the price was quite reasonable and the quality wasn't bad. The king crab legs and the raw oysters on hand were impressive looking-- honestly probably the way to go! Lack of nearby parking can be a bit of a pain, but the friendly staff helps-- you're welcomed as soon as you walk in! read more

Being an "out of towner", I did a little research and this place had great reviews. I like the selection and prices at Pike Place Market much better. If you are a local, this would be a nice alternative as parking and crowds are easier to deal with here. read more

We had stopped at Larsen's bakery and then thought we'd stop in at Fresh Fish since we had wanted some salmon for dinner. Service was very prompt and friendly, the guys working had a good system worked out and greeted every customer. I picked out some ivory king salmon to take home. I also noted that they had some nice dungeness crab and they were only 6.99, same price as QFC! The salmon was quite expensive (23.95 per lb) but I hadn't looked at the price like a dummy and I wanted it, so I paid and went home. When it was time to cook it, I scored the skin side with a knife. This is when I noticed that there were a lot of scales left on the skin side. The more I looked the more scales I found. I had to scrape the skin and then wipe the fish with paper towel several times to get them all off. I have to say I was kind of pissed, I had spent a lot of money for this fish. Should I really have to scale it too (it was just a filet with skin on one side)? Allll was forgotten when this fish was on the dinner plate! OMG SO GOOD!! I've never had this kind of salmon and I've never had salmon so good! It was definitely worth the cost for such a luxurious piece of fish :D So, good product (minus the scales) good service and they also carry meats if you aren't in the mood for fish! read more

I absolutely love the Fresh Fish Company. Love it. Last weekend, I decided to skip the Fresh Fish Company for my seafood needs, and give Sandy's Seafood a try. Not happening because Sandy's is apparently never open. (See review.) So back to the Fresh Fish Company... ...and really, I think it was a blessing in disguise that Sandy's was closed. I got the most delicious prawns and smoked salmon ever. The customer service is amazing. They are so friendly, helpful, and knowledgable - no problem telling me the difference between the smoked coho and smoked sockeye. Prices are great too. Love it. read more

Amazing selection, friendly staff. My go to place for meat and sometimes even produce.

Crab Cakes....amazing!! They have lots of great items, but it's pricey. So we usually just get crab cakes. read more

Quality. Every time. Can be pricy, but the quality is always perfect. I go here once/week and its always been great. I usually get fish, but the meat products are excellent too. read more

The best the best the best. I don't know what took us five years to find this place?! If you're looking for the most accessible, best fish in town, Fresh Fish is where you'll find it. As I am writing this review the name is screaming out at me: FRESH FISH -- the name is program. You want fresh, wild-caught fish, never frozen, a fish monger you can trust. I am incoherent. This place is it. It's the shit. I doubt I'll find another like it, even here in Seattle. Fish fish fish. Fresh fish. P.S.: I just came back with some sushi-quality yellowfin tuna and (forgive me, please!) the best pickled Herring in town. Yummyummyumm! read more

I've been here a few time now and LOVE it! Staff are so friendly and helpful. Don't hesitate to ask about recipes, portions and how to safely store whatever you buy! The first time I stopped in, I was curious about trying to cook clams because I never had before. The gal helped me pick out how many pounds to get and how to store them. I stored them as she said but they all spoiled. I went back to buy more and she gave me a new batch free of charge! I was so pleasantly surprised! I cooked them that night and they were delicious! I've since been back a few times for clams and sausage. They have a great homemade sausage selection and we always pick up a couple when there. On the weekends, they have samples out and next time I'm in, I'm definitely buying the salmon spread- it's delicious on crackers. We are going to be regulars of this place. Lots of fresh and frozen options, even wine and basic produce (like potatoes, lemons, asparagus, etc). I hope they never go out of business read more

The name says it all: Fresh Fish. local catches. Yum. Try the crab cakes. Made me feel like I was back in the tri-state area (minus the old bay seasoning). Why not 5 stars? It's not cheap. I'm not saying it's overpriced, just not cheap. You pay for what you get. Did I mention the crab cakes? They're the bomb. read more

Good service. Good selection. Good price. What more can you ask for? Okay, if I could ask for more, I'd ask that they carry some produce so that I could make a whole meal out of the trip, but they do carry a decent wine selection, so I guess I'll let it pass. read more

I love this place. The employees are very knowledgeable and friendly. Every product that they produce in-house is absolutely of the finest quality (e.g. crab cakes). Fresh Fish Company is fighting the good fight against the Mega-Corp intrusion into the food trades; please support their efforts. read more

Basically this my favorite store. We live close and have been walking here forever, through a few iterations of the business. Their salmon dip is delicious, although I usually add a little smoked salmon to it. We love the fish, their brats/sausages, and they have a small but decent beer & wine selection. The staff is awesome, always friendly and helpful. And they do a nice sample snack tray on weekends. read more

Just moved to the neighborhood and stumbled across this little jewel. Best sea scallops I've had in long time, and great butcher shop too (Cascioppo Bros). Nice that alot of the seafood is local too (Colombia river salmon, Oregon dungeness crabs, penn cove muscles). Grocery stores have run places like this out of business, it's a damn shame. read more

I will buy frozen fish at supermarkets but I will not buy fresh fish from anywhere other than The Fresh Fish Company. They have a wide variety and all of it tastes so great! We have been going there since they were in the convenience store and now I am loving their larger space. The quality is second to none and they are always helpful. They'll skin and debone your fish if you want them to. read more

I work 1 block from Pike Place market, but opt to swing by the Fresh Fish Company even though it's more effort. Quality wise I have NEVER been disappointed and I've been a loyal customer for several years now. Call and they'll let you know what they're recommending right now. Best seafood in Seattle in my opinion. Spend the couple extra bucks, it's worth it! read more

Update to add in "OMG SALMON DIP WITH RITZ CRACKERS" If you ever are at a loss as to what to bring to a party or keep at home for a snack, buy a container or two of the salmon dip with a pack of butter ritz crackers. Per-fec-tion. read more

Outrageously overpriced! Even tourist-trap Pike Place is cheaper. Only people who are stupid and/or have money to burn shop here.

I came here at the suggestion of a coworker--they have absolutely incredible crab cakes. This place is a Seattle gem, and I encourage anyone and everyone to support this local small business. The people are wonderfully friendly and as knowledgeable as you could imagine. The tarter sauce is rich and delicious and you can get huge $7 blocks of Beechers cheddar for making that great mac and cheese. This place is a Seattle landmark and we should take care to preserve it. read more

The Fresh Fish - Seafood Markets Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The service here was great! Everyone who helped us were incredibly nice and efficient. We got the Columbia River King Salmon and some Mediterranean mussels from Washington. Both were incredibly fresh and the quality was amazing. All but one of our mussels were good and they all opened up beautifully when we cooked them. The fish was absolutely perfect when we grilled it up. I would definitely recommend coming here for your seafood needs. read more

Friendly service and a very decent selection of seafood and essentials. I purchased crab and whitefish cakes, salmon, breakfast sausage and a delicious red wine. The Cioppino was delicious too. Will definitely stop by next time I'm in the neighborhood. read more

the wife and i found this place last weekend..wow what a great little shop they have all the wonderfull seafood and even meats in the case in seprate ones dont be crazy..this place is like fat guy heaven.. we got some cod and some lean ground beef..oh what a neat place.. cant wait to go back and get more fish to put in my belly. read more

Excellent quality and fantastic counter help. Seriously, I'm not related to them! The fish was really good. I got herring, smoked salmon and some kind of jerky that was so good it disappered before I got back to the car... read more

Don't be deceived by the convenience store appearance on the outside, just head straight back on the right for loads of fresh fish and shellfish. They don't have it every day, but their sashimi grade tuna is the BEST and they won't sell it as sashimi grade unless it really is. I buy it by the slab. Penn Cove shellfish, Copper River Salmon, local fishermen catches, good lox... and they make their own crab spread that's outta this world. read more

Thanks to the owner at the Trident fish store down the street for telling me about this place. Got Ling Cod and some halibut. Also got 2 crab cakes. Eeekss...at $17.93 for 2 crabcakes they better be good. Did not disappoint..they were the best I've had! Awesome cakes with very little fillers. Fish was ok..but I think it was because the cakes were so good that nothng else mattered on my plate. This will be on my must visit places when in the Seattle area. read more

I dont know much about fish, esp pickled herring. So I show up at this store and the guy working there (on Sunday) is very helpful about all the different aspects of pickled herring and totally hooked me up. Then he told me where to go get Akvavit (a drink that is usually consumed with pickled herring). Excellent service! read more

We shopped here for years when they were in the back of a quick stop on Market, and were bummed when we heard they were moving. YES, the moved to a new spot even closer to us! Have never had a bad experience here. Great fish and great service. read more

I grew up with my dad in the seafood business, and as a result our family is very particular about the quality of fish. This is consistently the best fish around. The staff is friendly, the quality is top-notch and they have the best pickled herring around (for all of you Scandinavians out there). read more

Very good fish and meat store. This previously was the Cascioppo Bros meat market and then the Fresh fish people that use to operate out of a convenience store on market took it over but kept selling the terrific Cascioppo Bros sausages and meats. The fish selection is very good and the product is fresh. It is real gem except during the holidays. Good luck getting in there it will be packed. That corner also has Larsen's Bakery next door, so you can really stock up in one little corner or Ballard. read more

Ive had their fish cakes, salmon, cioppino (my favorite product of theirs), etc, its all delicious and high quality stuff. Some people complain about the price but I think its worth it. read more

Stopped by here last week for some clams and mussels and smoked salmon. Friendly staff and good prices. More importantly, tasty, fresh seafood! Quality spot I would recommend. read more

Sausages were quite tasty, but still disappointed by the lack of selection and high cost. Oh well.

Smoked salmon dip. OH MY GOD. I recommend eating it with Wheat Thins. The sweetness of the thins with the smokey salty salmony goodness = HEAVEN IN YOUR MOUTH. read more
