6 Great Seafood Restaurants in and Around Seattle, WA
1. The Crab Pot
You’re sure to leave satisfied after chowing down on one of the giant buckets of seafood that they serve up at The Crab Pot. Perhaps the most popular option is The Alaskan, which gives you a mix of king crab, snow crab, and Dungeness crab, along with plenty of shrimp, steamed clams, mussels, sausage, and potatoes to accompany that crab feast.
2. The Fisherman’s Restaurant
Family-style dining and some of the best seafood that the pacific northwest has to offer come together at The Fisherman’s Restaurant. Their crispy coconut-breaded shrimp make the perfect start to any meal, served with orange marmalade for dipping. Then try their wild Alaskan halibut tacos, spiced up with a sriracha aioli to bring the perfect level of heat to the dish.
3. Elliott’s Oyster House
Elliott’s is open seven days a week, meaning you can always go to the spot where Seattle goes to get our seafood. Get your favorite flavors of the sea served up on a stick with their grilled scallop or prawn skewers. Their battered and breaded cod and chips dish is another classic that they do to perfection here.
4. Athenian Seafood Restaurant
Enjoy dinner with a spectacular view of the waterfront nearby when you dine at the Athenian Seafood Restaurant. Stop in early enough to enjoy their lunch specials and you’ll be treated to dishes like their fresh wild king salmon with homemade pear chutney. If you’re coming by for dinner instead, we recommend the grilled sea scallops served over lemon butter.

Globally sourced seafood from well-managed fisheries allows Rockcreek to serve everything from local favorites, such as crab, mussels, or oysters, as well as east coast bass and more exotic flavors like Hawaiian ono. If you’re in the mood for a delicious sandwich, you can’t do much better than their crispy fried oyster po’ boy, topped with zesty red rooster aioli and chili peppers to bring some heat.
