    One of the best LIVE seafood markets in the pacific northwest. If you fancy international, and…read moreexotic fish/crustaceans then you need to visit Wanli Seafood Market on Beacon Ave in South Seattle. Ran by a couple Cantonese guys, who speak barely any English but boy can they get their hands on some interesting critters. They import live seafood from various parts of the world; Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Although they will sell the familiar items you see in the wet markets of the Mediterranean and Asia. Do not be surprised to see the price per pound reflected with the cost of securing and shipping. Expect to pay upwards of $100 at a minimum when you come here. (Negating the basic North American species they offer like spot shrimp, Dungeness, Maine lobster, Rockfish, etc) Some of the delectable species I had the honor of feasting on: South American spiny lobster Mantis Shrimp (AKA in Cantonese "Laai Niu Haaa") European Langoustine lobsters Brown Edible crab Mud crabs Blue Flower crabs Marbled Sand Goby Opilio crab (snow crab) Cabezon, Greenling, various other bottom dwelling fish This place doesn't have a number. You basically call the owner to see what shipments he will be getting. This is my hidden, not so hidden anymore gem for tasty sea animals.

Yesterday, on my way to my aunt's house, I decided to stop by for some oysters. I was wonder why they don't have it. But the fact is they hide them behind. They didn't even let me see the oysters, they quickly packed into a plastic bag. When I got home, I saw that I have oysters'' size like an iPhone 10. The shell of the oysters is very stinky, like it's been under muddy water or sewer for years... so when I open them, the shell keeps breaking. Which makes sense to me why they Havee those that are already opened. I steamed some of the oysters and smell them, they are not fresh.. so I just throw 1.5 dozen of oysters into the trash.

    Seattle Seafood Center was such a great find--one of those unexpected gems you stumble upon while…read morelooking for parking for a nearby restaurant. What immediately caught our attention (for obvious reasons) was the bold sign: LIVE KING CRAB. We walked in and were instantly impressed. Large water tanks filled with live Dungeness crab and live king crab, crystal-clear water, and absolutely no fishy smell--always an excellent sign. The space feels more like a clean, well-run warehouse set up for both wholesale and retail, not a typical seafood market. A gentleman working there quickly came over and started chatting with us about crab. Super knowledgeable and friendly. They offer a wide selection: live, fresh, and frozen crab, Japanese scallops, fish, and a variety of shellfish. We considered the live king crab, but it was honestly too big for the two of us to handle in a hotel kitchen--and definitely would've been a splurge. So, plan B: I called my sister-in-law to see if she'd like some frozen king crab legs. She said yes immediately. The gentleman showed us the frozen options, and the king crab legs were long, meaty, and impressive--similar in size to what Costco carries, but priced better. We ended up negotiating a great deal and purchased a box of their Party Pack King Jumbo Crab Legs for her. Later that evening, she surprised her daughter with a king crab birthday dinner, and they reported the legs were super meaty and absolutely delicious. Safe to say, we'll definitely keep Seattle Seafood Center in mind for future seafood splurges. If you love high-quality seafood and especially crab, this place is worth a stop--even if it's an unplanned one.

You can choose from a variety of fishes as well. They were pretty fresh and yummy. The guy working there was really nice. He had a lot of advice and suggestions. The place is literally a fish market so not a dine in place. Parking is ample. Otherwise, it's pretty quiet and calm. The stuff is sometimes pricey but when they do deals like this, it's worth it. Will probably be back for their sushi and sashimi special as well.

But the lunch omakase special is what I really wanted I think. But even so. The poke bowl was mixed. I have to unfortunately knock off the stars/taste because the rice I got was literally the worst rice I've ever had touching raw fish. The rice was like hard and stale. I even had a clump that looked like it was the burnt part from leaving it on the cooker for too long and it couldn't bite it. I know this place is for the fish, but there's a bare minimum expectation on rice quality. And the fish itself was good? Maybe cuz it's the poke and not the omakase (so mixed chopped pieces) but there were pieces that tasted super fresh and delicious and then there were pieces that had so much tendon I couldn't bite through it. The folks there were super nice and friendly especially since I had no idea what to order. Just wish I was more delighted by the meal, especially cuz it was like $18 poke bowl. I'll give it another try with hopes it's better next time.

    This is one of few Safeway stores I frequent because I'm always around the Beacon Hill…read moreneighborhood. The general area where this one is located - Rainier Beach in particular - is known for being sketchy especially at night. Aside from those times, this place gets a ton of people and cars are always parked at its parking lot, so it's actually very lively, but of course that's left to each person's interpretation on what that means. It's your regular grocery store inside, with fruits and the floral section near the front and everything else organized in standard fashion. I like coming here since they have most things that I want and need in terms of food like strawberries and blueberries, strawberry jam, some cereal brands, cubed ham and bread. Employees here are in general pretty helpful like when I need to reach for an item I want that's too high up the shelves. This particular visit is for their deli area, though. Of course, if there's food then I'm reviewing it! Their deli section has a ton of fried foods and there's even a small section for their sushi. For this visit, I got 2 pounds of their fried chicken wings and thighs, which came to about $18 after tax. The skin is dry and not juicy, but the flavor and salt profile is spot on! Whule the skin wasn't juicy, the meat was and that's a plus! Server behind the counter also let me sample one of their tater tots, and I might just get that next when I'm in the mood!

The employees have to deal with the garbage outside that is dangerous. I will never shop here again. Meth is smoked right outside the store... and these drugs addicts leave trash everywhere. I don't want to touch the carts that are used by the druggies. The QFC down the street doesn't have this issue. It's sad to see moms, elderly folks having to navigate this horrible place. It should either have security outside or be shut down by the inept city government.
