Although there is certainly an abundance of fine, old-school establishments where the chefs can turn out sublime seafood on a regular basis, the best seafood is sometimes found in the city’s street food carts, particularly in the late spring when the Alaska salmon start to run. So instead of looking through the tourist guides for the “best” seafood restaurant in town, take a trip to where the street food is and give yourself the time to absorb the vibrant sights and aromas of this area before deciding on dinner. Whatever you decide on should be eaten outdoors.

If you’re visiting the city at a time when temperatures make you reluctant to dine al fresco, look for the seafood places tucked away on side streets. Go away from the light and the glitz, and walk until you see a restaurant with a small pot of herbs at the door. You won’t be sure at first that it’s even a restaurant, but at that moment, someone inside is cooking the best seafood in the city.

Every spring, for instance, the city celebrates the arrival of the first planeload of Copper River salmon from Alaska’s pristine waters. Wild Alaskan salmon is found in almost every quality eating establishment in Seattle and is frequently featured in the seafood cases of local grocery stores. Although salmon is also fairly abundant in Washington waters, wild salmon from Alaska is still one of the most prized item on anyone’s menu.

If you are new to Seattle and looking for a quality source of local and Alaskan seafood, you should pay a visit to Pike’s Place Market.Get more information here. http://www.thecordovatimes.com/article/1309alaska-symphony-of-seafood-top-honors-go-to You will find all of the different types of Pacific seafood well-represented here.
