3.5 stars. Went on a weeknight and the line was pretty long. Was fine with that but then also waited about 40 minutes to get our food after we ordered. Not sure if they were short staffed or it was an off night? Service was friendly though! Dishes we tried-- *Shrimp toast: crispy and flavorful, probably my favorite. sauce it came with was spicy and delicious. *Clam chowder: good flavor, not too heavy, decent amount of clams *Salmon sando: standard flavor, salmon tasted fresh but it was also cold (not sure if it was supposed to be cold?) *Rockfish banh mi: rockfish tasted fresh, otherwise banh mi was difficult to eat in its open faced form. flavor was just okay. Good place for casual vibes and fresh fish! But not sure I would consider it worth the wait. read more

My family took me here for my birthday. I've been wanting to for a while. The atmosphere is really cool and the decor really nice, especially the paintings in the hallway heading to the bathroom. The service was good but we had to ask for more water a few times as well as extra napkins. We ordered the Salmon House, Teriyaki Salmon Bowl, the Rockfish Bowl and the Smash Burger. The Teriyaki Salmon Bowl was delicious as well as the Rockfish Bowl. The dressing on the Rockfish dish was awesome. The Smash Burger was just okay taste wise and was really small. The Salmon House had a nice piece of cold salmon but the salad was tasteless. The disappointing dish was the Shrimp Toast. It looked so good from a distance but it was very greasy and no one would eat it after taking small bites. Overall, this place has a nice vibe and I may try it again. read more

What I've found to be interesting about restaurants in the Seattle area is that the best restaurants from a culinary perspective are often not those that are expensive. Local Tide offers some of the best seafood dishes that I've had anywhere. I had the Dover & Fries. Though that dish is fish & chips by another name, it would be a terrible shame to just think of that dish just as your everyday fish & chips. Those Dover & Fries were utterly delightful to eat. Though the queue to get in can be long, it's just a good indication of how good this restaurant is. I'll be back again soon! read more

BROTHER... where do I even begin?! This was the best fish I've ever had in my life. Was in Seattle for 4 days and came here for lunch on 2 of those days. Tried 6-7 items from the menu and all of them were absolute bangers. Staff are super chill vibes and very helpful. Interior is cool. My favorites were the albacore sandwich and the filet o fish. Every single item was a hit though. This is an absolute MUST TRY if you're in Seattle. I may consider making a trip back to Seattle just to come eat here in the future tbh. read more

Came here on a Friday early evening, and there was a line out the door. I was visiting my sister and had been craving a good fish sandwich, so we decided to give it a try. We ended up waiting a little over an hour, even after the restaurant officially closed, but they still served everyone who was already in line, which I appreciated. Once inside, the staff were very friendly and apologetic about the wait. Service was a bit slow, but that's understandable considering how packed they were. The restaurant itself is also fairly small, which likely contributed to the wait. We ordered the fried fish sandwich, salmon sandwich, chowder, and fried oysters. Overall, everything was good, but the standouts for me were the salmon sandwich and the chowder. The salmon sandwich was served cold, which initially caught me off guard because I was expecting it to be hot. After taking a bite, though, I understood why it was served that way, it was fresh, flavorful, and worked really well. The fried oysters were also delicious, especially paired with the dipping sauce. The chowder wasn't quite like the style I'm used to, but it was still rich, flavorful, and worth ordering. The fried fish sandwich--the item I was most excited about--was good, just not my favorite of everything we tried. The best way I can describe it is as an elevated Filet-O-Fish. It wasn't bad by any means, but it's probably not something I'd order again. As for the long line, I wasn't upset about waiting because I knew they were busy, but I probably wouldn't wait over an hour again. I would definitely come back if there wasn't such a long line, because the food and friendly service made it worth another visit. read more

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! read more

Local Tide - Dover & fries - Seafood Near Me - Seattle, Washington

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! read more

SOOOO GOOD! Fresh and delicious food. Fresh fish. Love the salmon teriyaki for that fabulous pacific salmon! Long lines for the crab roll on the weekend. Casual and pretty dining room. Great service. A couple outdoors tables and a bar. Great neighborhood for walking around. read more

I don't get the hype here.Food was definitely very solid but the service was poor and the wait times post ordering took way too long for what it is. They could run the floor a lot more efficiently than they do. I'm not opposed to coming again but I'd go when they are slower. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

Delicious and fresh seafood! We ordered the Dover & Fries which is like Fish & Chips but cooked in an asian salt & pepper style. The dover is very thin and crispy and PIPING hot. I liked their clam chowder, you can really taste the clam-umami. it's not your typical cream-based chowder, rather more clam-broth based with a hint of cream instead! We also ordered the crab roll - I'm more biased towards hot rolls so it wasn't my thing but if you like a cold crab salad type roll it's worth trying. You get seated after you order at the counter and service was great. read more

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. read more

I got the rockfish banh mi. So good. All the flavors and ingredients pair together really well.

Really solid spot and I definitely will be back to try the rest of the menu! read more

Local Tide - Rock Fish Banh Mi - Seafood Near Me - Seattle, Washington

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! read more

Food 4.5 stars, service 5 stars, serving and seating process was NEGATIVE 10 stars. Knowing that the industry is hard, and we are all human, I just have to say - we got there and there were 7 people in front of us in line... we ordered 40 minutes later. Then 30 min to get our food, which wouldn't be too bad on its own, but after the first 40 min, it added up. I was confused at any system designed to work this way. It was very difficult to enjoy the food, since I was super annoyed. Everyone who worked there was nice, and the food was good but I'll never go back unfortunately. read more

I came here with a friend today around 2pm! There was a line to order but we didn't mind waiting, Sunday afternoon on a sunny day so we expected it! I've been wanting to try this place for awhile and I am so glad I finally did! We ordered a few things to share and every single dish was delicious! Shrimp toast: this was a great appetizer to share! Very crispy and the sauces on the side gave it a more complex flavor! It came with a sweet mayo and chili sauce. The chili sauce is definitely spicy if you can't handle spice so beware on how much you're using if that's the case. I also really enjoyed the slaw that came with it, it was very refreshing and it had a bit of sweet mayo flavor to it, I think it's the same as the dipping sauce but I could be wrong! Fried oysters: these were delicious! I think fried oysters can be a hit or miss for me, sometimes the interior can feel too dry and feel kinda of mushy-like, like I'm eating bread rather than seafood. But this had great texture on the inside while being crispy on the outside! The sauce on the side tasted like a pepper aioli which gave the oyster a nice tang *the fried dishes were great but after having a few, it definitely felt heavy, so this would be something I share with someone else vs eating it on my own Smoked salmon belly dip: I really enjoyed this! It was creamy and had chunks of salmon in it. It wasn't too dense or thick so it was perfect for scooping onto the kettle chips. The kettle chips were lightly salted so it was the perfect combo with the dip. Clam chowder: wow I absolutely loved this! This is different than any other chowder I've had. While I love a white creamy chowder from your typical seafood places, the base being a fish stock definitely brought out the seafood flavor vs a white chowder feeling like a cream base. This chowder still felt creamy and rich without the seafood flavor being overpowered. Rockfish bowl: the crab rolls were sold out by the time we made it to the register so we opted for this instead and I am so glad that we did. I didn't really expect this to blow me away but this was such a refreshing dish that balanced out the fried dishes we got. It used viet flavors that you may typically find in a banh mi which made it refreshing and had great texture from all the different fresh ingredients and fried garlic. I also loved how the fish came in patty form mixed with pork, it was flavorful and moist. I love any type of fish tofu/patty, I think it really makes fish flavorful when it sometimes can have a really mild flavor. I'll definitely be back to try the crab rolls! read more

TLDR: fresh and delicious seafood, must try spot I've come here a couple times at various times for lunch - there's usually a bit of line but moves pretty fast and you get seated right after ordering. Honestly you can't go wrong with any of their menu items - everything I've tried is super fresh and always has complex flavor notes. My favorite is the shrimp toast - paired with mayo and a chili sauce on the side, the buttery shrimp on toast is straight up comfort food. All of their fish, no matter what variation, tastes super fresh and flaky. All their sides are chosen to complement each type of fish making each dish have that perfect combo of salt, fat and acid. read more

This has been on my list for a little while. We popped in on a holiday weekday and were pleasantly surprised by how efficient they are during a lunch rush. You order and then get seated. They bring out the food to you. Everyone was super friendly and the whole operation ran super smoothly. The person that took our order was awesome. He explained some things to us and was really personable. They make the most out of a smaller space. They have booth seating with stools on the other side of the tables. They have some counter seating too. There are also some outdoor tables. The food was delicious and filling. I was so happy to see a mushroom sandwich that was battered. And the flavors were great! For being a seafood restaurant, they still took care of the vegetarians. We also got the potatoes and they were delicious. The portion was huge too! They have alcohol and sodas. It was a great experience! I can't wait to go back. read more

THE BIG: Located in the Fremont area of Seattle and right off of 36th street. Small interior space with limited seating. Street parking available. THE BLACK AND WHITE: I came here with the wife and a friend to check out this hot new fish spot. I heard the waits were pretty bad but fortunately when we came, there was pretty much no lines. We ordered our fish sandwiches and ended up sitting in the brewery next door to grab a beer and let me tell you, that was the move. It was cooler in that room and you still get your food delivered to you. The wife and I got the salmon salad and the hot sole sandwich. I thought my sandwich would come with fries, nope, it was just the burger for $20. It was delicioius but at least serve it with some fries. THE FINAL BAMBOO: For two dishes, we spent around $44. Fish was good but damn the prices are kind of expensive. read more

Lovely spot! Was visiting Seattle for the weekend and literally stopped in this place 3 times! Every single item we had was delicious, from the shrimp toast (a crowd fave!) to the smashburger, fried fish sando, fried oysters (juicy, plump and delicious), smoked salmon dip to the clam chowder. It was all sooo good! Staff is super friendly and helpful. Everyone seems happy to be there! There's also a cool collection of cookbooks when you walk in, which is a nice touch. There's also a nice selection of soft drinks, like root beer and ginger beer. There is often a line, but it's worth the wait! read more

Visiting Seattle again this weekend and we decided to stop by Local Tide for brunch because we heard there were crab rolls on the weekend! There were a few tables for seating, but I can see how it fills up fast! We ordered at the counter and then someone brought over water as soon as we sat down. Our food was delivered to our table really quick after we ordered and the staff were really friendly! We tried the crab roll which was filled with fresh crab meat. It definitely is delicious and worth the price tag ($30). We also tried the fried fish sandwich was crispy and had a great tartar sauce with it. The salt and pepper fries were really well done and a huge order. Overall looking forward to coming back for future meals here. read more

Tried Local tied the other day after the gym. I loved the healthier fare they offer, it felt like I can enjoy a night out without feeling terrible about my waistline. I had the salmon teriyaki bowl and it was really good! The rice was really tasty and the salmon was very tender and not dry! My favorite was the salmon belly dip. I almost bought one to go because it was so delicious, will definitely be back just for that. Sort of a weird set up when you dine there. You order first + pay then they point to a random table for you to sit at and then when you're done eating you can just leave. It was a bit tight and there's not a ton of seating so be prepared for that. Otherwise it was a great experience. read more

After hearing about this place for a while, I was excited to finally try it! There was a long line out the door and it was a tuesday night, so be prepared to wait! But it was worth it. The menu has a variety of sandwiches and salads and other entrees to choose from. Unfortunately, one that I wanted was out (the black cod) so be aware they may run out of certain dishes. We ended up trying the salmon bowl and the rockfish bowl, along with the shrimp toast. Everything was so good! I could not stop eating because it was all so flavorful. The shrimp toast ended up being the surprise hit for my dining partner! He wasn't sure if he would actually like it, but said it had a dumpling like texture. The salads had a lot of flavor and textures, which I loved. The salmon was cooked perfectly! The staff were very friendly and didn't even kick us out even though were were the last ones there. read more

Absolutely incredible, do not miss out on eating here. Local Tide gets busy, but they make sure you order first before you get a table, so the food comes pretty quickly after you're seated. Be prepared for a line, but it's so worth it. The staff are so so friendly, they actually treated my friend and I to a free bag of their housemade chips and covered our drinks since we had been waiting in line for a while. They really make sure you're taken care of. We ordered the Fried Oysters, Smoked Salmon Belly Dip, Rockfish Bowl, and the Black Cod. Honestly, I wish I could've tried everything on the menu. We loved everything except the Fried Oysters, but that's a preference thing -- we just didn't love that the outside was so fried and the oysters inside remained very raw and wet. Otherwise, everything else was very much a hit! This was so much food, we only got 2 bites into the Rockfish Bowl and had to take it as leftovers for the next day. I thought I had tried good seafood, but Local Tide blew my past experiences out of the water. I'm dying to come back again. read more

was pretty excited for this - as I'd heard really nice things about the restaurant itself, along with the crab roll especially the crab roll seems to be quite popular - as it seems like it often sells out on weekends starting off, this buttery brioche bun is magical. it's so soft yet so well toasted on the outside, and yet astoundingly fluffy on the inside the exterior has just the right amount of butter where it's a complimentary flavor rather than taking over the entire bun the level of toasting achieved on this bun is highly impressive - there's not a single part that isn't perfect might be the best roll i've ever had the roll is pretty stuffed with crab meat i don't think i'm a huge crab lover - I do like it - but it seems relatively flavorless compared to other meats however, there are a few things i loved about the crab in this bun first, obviously, you can eat it with the roll, which just makes everything better second, the seasoning on the meat was absolutely fantastic - there was a mayo-based sauce, there was lemon juice giving it a slightly acidic taste, and there was a sprinkle of seasoning that made everything really could while I don't know if the meat itself had great flavor - I loved the fact that the restaurant did everything it could to impart that flavor onto the dish huge props for that I also really liked the amount of crab placed in this roll - it was pretty stuffed with the meat - even coming pretty significantly out of the hole in the split top so, the food was really good, but i do have an issue for the really expensive price point ($30 for a single roll) this was not filling at all i recognize that crab is expensive - and the amount of crab placed in here was pretty impressive - but for 30 dollars this needs to come with some sort of a filling side whether it can be clam chowder, fries, or anything - no matter how good the food is, when you pay that amount for a meal, the meal needs to leave you satisfied I understand that you can't just place an infinite amount of crab, but increasing the size of the roll, or adding another side are ways to increase the portion size of this meal read more

Looking for seafood on a Friday near but not in downtown. This place looked promising in Fremont. The food is Ala Carte, you have to order sides separately. The fish is fresh, sides were solid. It does get pretty busy in the restaurant with a medium sized dining area with several tables. Service was friendly and quick. We ordered a salmon sandwich and rockfish bowl with a side of fried potatoes. Portions were a bit small for the price but very tasty. read more

A good stop for lunch! They have a great seafood selection that is not as daunting as I would have thought. Located in a pretty busy part of Fremont, I highly recommend giving yourself some time to find parking. I regularly park in the neighborhood area and just take some extra time to walk. The restaurant is quite busy on a weekend day so also plan for a bit of a wait! You order at the front and pay for everything beforehand. After ordering, you will be directed where to sit. The menu is quite simple so making a decision was not hard! There ie minimal seating both inside and outside but it seems like most people don't dine in for too long. My partner and I got the salmon sandwich and the shrimp toast to share. We were perfectly content after sharing those two things but if we were stopping for a proper lunch, two entrees would have been perfect! The flow of the restaurant reads fast casual and the kitchen has an open concept which can make the dinning experience a little overwhelming so that is another thing to keep in mind. The salmon sandwich was so fresh. It is a cold sandwich so it is great to have on a hotter day. The salmon itself was delicious so I could tell the seafood quality was quite high. The shrimp toast was also so so good and was accompanied by a tangy sauce. I would definitely come back if I was in the area and in search for a really refreshing lunch! read more

Another win for the Seattle seafood scene. The flavors are fresh and comforting and the restaurant atmosphere is great for a casual yet elevated meal. There isn't a ton of seating, so you might have to wait. I recommend getting the shrimp toast to split and the rockfish bowl. Chowder was light and tasty as well. read more

Local Tide - Chowder, shrimp toast, rockfish bowl - Seafood Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Updating my review since it's been awhile. I am still just as big a fan of Local Tide as I was when I first tried it in 2021! Everything is good (and I've tried most items) but my faves are (items w/ * are my go tos that I almost always get!): - *Rockfish banh mi (as opposed to the rockfish bowl) - *smash burger - smoked salmon belly dip - fried oysters - shrimp toast - fried fish sando But, you can't go wrong w/ anything on the menu as it's a relatively small menu. This is a counter service place - wait times can be a bit long during peak times but it's understandable -- they are making everything fresh/to order. read more

Local Tide - 8/2025 - rockfish banh mi - Seafood Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Glad I was able to pop in, line out the door on a Thursday night at 7pm. Line moves fairly quickly, concept/order then be seated works well. Service is super friendly and interior is very cute and clean. We ordered the smoked salmon dip to share, the rockfish banh mi and the fried fish sandwich. The dip was super salty and the chips were heavily salted (really good and crispy). The rockfish banh mi had good flavor and amount of chilis helped improve the fried fish since it was very bland...like no seasoning and the fish was over fried to the point where it was just hard. Unfortunately, we weren't fans but can see the appeal for sure. read more

Local Tide is a neighbourhood gem! We lunched here twice during our recent stay in Fremont. Both times we were seated right away, had quick friendly service and amazing food.

Prices were reasonable considering they use good quality ingredients and prepare them with care. Highly recommend. read more
