Fresh Seafood Seattle Style
By Seafood Specialist | April 29, 2009
When it comes to fresh seafood, Seattle has plenty to offer. Situated along the Pacific coast, our Seattle seafood restaurant has access to salmon, crab, clams and other popular seafood caught fresh daily. What can’t be found in the waters around Washington and British Columbia has only a short trip here from the cold, pure waters of nearby Alaska.
Pacific salmon is far and away the favorite among all the fresh seafood Seattle provides. What many visitors to Northwest and even quite a few Seattlites don’t realize, though, is that our shore side location is great for other fish like halibut, cod, and rockfish.
Of course, fish isn’t the only fresh seafood Seattle offers. Crab is almost as popular on menus around the Northwest. From the prized King crab to the often underestimated Snow crab, we offer a wide selection of succulent crab dishes like Savory Baked Crab Cakes with mustard and green onions, Creamy Crab Bisque, and refreshing Crab and Broccoli Salad spiced up with diced bell peppers.
Another type of fresh seafood Seattle boasts is the local clams. Frankly, we think they taste best lightly steamed and dipped in melted butter, but we serve them up baked and fried, too. A hot bowl of chowder is another great way to enjoy local Washington clams, especially on one of those chilly grey days Seattle tends to get plenty of.
It’s important to realize, however, that even here in the Pacific Northwest not all varieties of seafood are available fresh year round. Salmon, for instance, is caught from May to September, so that’s when it’s at its freshest.
Our menus are based on seafood that’s in season and when we say “fresh” we mean just that. While the quality of any frozen seafood we may use during the off season is of excellent quality, it cannot rightfully be called “fresh seafood.” Seattle restaurants that value quality and respect their customers won’t try to fool you into believing it is.
No matter what time of year you visit, though, we’ll always have something fresh to serve up. Whether it’s a light salmon salad on a warm summer evening or a steaming bowl of King crab bisque on a rainy January morning, you’ll find something at our place that hits the spot. So if you’re hungry for seafood, make your reservations to try some of our “fresh seafood Seattle-style” right now.
