Forget the showmanship of Pike's Place. When I think of an authentic local fish market, this is the kind of place I'm thinking of! We got here around 11:30AM to buy some crab bait, which is really just the fresh scraps / ends of fish that they can't normally sell. It's pretty cheap at about $2/lb. We also bought a baguette for the road trip, which was actually pretty good here. They also sell chowder and of course, many different types of seafood. Everything seemed very fresh and people were helped very quickly. Would definitely come back for fish if I was local. read more

Super friendly and helpful staff! They were very knowledgeable about what they offered that day. We ordered some oysters to take home / shuck ourselves, which were so deliciously briney and fresh. They packed them up on an ice pack to survive the ride home! read more

Wild Salmon Seafood Market - Seafood Markets Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I used to love this plane and count on it. This year we bought our annual King crab legs which arent cheap ($150-200 a couple times during the holidays)... but it's our thanksgiving, so it's worthy of a splurge. One of the legs was putrid. I had to spit it out and for the cost, that's a lot and I had to eat something else to make up for it. Anyhow it happens but I reached out directly. We saved the leg (frozen) so they could confirm. No response. So now we're afraid to go back because come on. We have since changed to seafood specials we can get at Costco instead of supporting a smaller local business, and sadly will continue that in the future. Literally a response and any kind of gesture could have changed that for us. For the price it's the least that could have been done. read more

Beautiful, delicious, fresh salmon, and a wide selection of other seafood. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful and the King Salmon was amazing. read more

Wild Salmon Seafood Market - Seafood Markets Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Super fresh! This is the place in Seattle to get the best fish! The staff here is very knowledgeable and their fillet skills are superior.

These guys are great. I frequently stop by and grab a dozen oysters for shooters, or get some salmon to cure (they have so many options and the quality is excellent). The staff are very knowledgeable and always make the best recommendations. I've been going here since the 90s for a reason. Top notch. read more

Wild Salmon Seafood Market - Coho salmon after a 2 hour cure. - Seafood Markets Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Just tried to order salmon advertised on their web site....I called to ask questions..and was handed off to the manager...and instead if being asked hey what I get you..I was given the run around on price and quantity...not available on web site..yet clear as day advertised...in those cases an established well run customer oriented business needs to simply make that customer experience a success! Make it work! I grew up in Magnolia where they are located...buying product... I live on the penninsula now...I'll never deal with them again...it was a shit show. read more

What a great place to buy seafood. I'm not a seafood fan myself but I've stopped in here a few times to pick up halibut, prawns, crab cakes, etc for my family back in Spokane. Everyone has said the food is delicious. I feel pricing is appropriate given the freshness of the seafood. They've even secured in a box with ice during my drive to Spokane (4ish hours) during the summer months. read more

Good service and incredibly reasonable prices just had the most amazing red king crab from here.

Unlike other "seafood markets " in the Yelp search this is actually a Market! Most others are restaurants wrongfully categorized

Fresh salmon and they have some wine and other stuff you can grab to make a yummy dinner

Stopped by here to pick up some fresh, local seafood for a holiday celebration and was pleasantly surprised by how reasonable the prices were. The guys working were so helpful, knowledgeable and patient with us. We were picking out ingredients for a seafood chowder (that came out insaaaanely delicious) and their suggestions were ~chefs kiss~. Side note: if you are in need of fish stock/broth, be sure to pick up some of theirs, made in house! It's incredibly fresh and flavorful and really elevates any recipe. Absolutely love this spot and cannot recommend it enough for fresh seafood in Seattle! read more

Always fresh seafood. My go to place for the variety and quality. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Outstanding selection of seafood. It is the only place on the south side that has live, whole lobsters.

Called in to order fresh seafood. Great service and great prices! They are shipping overnight. Would recommend using this place if you want some fresh Seattle food. read more

Trying to enjoy a rainy day during the Covid-19 quarantine, we drove to see the Chittenden Locks and stopped by Fisherman's Terminal on the way back. My guess is, during a normal Saturday in healthier times, the Terminal would be packed with tourists and people out for the day. Wild Salmon allowed only three masked marauders in at a time, and health and safety were paramount. Wild Salmon is for "real," and the information posted let patrons know what was fresh, what was frozen, and how much it would cost. I loved the experience. Our purchases included 4 pounds of fresh Coho Salmon and fresh Halibut with a cost of about $100.00. Seattle ain't cheap, and prices are not going down. In fact, real estate is still going up. (Amazon's earnings are up during the pandemic) As always, we broil or bake seafood lightly, with just a touch of mustard. The fish was delicious, well worth the price of the swallow. I will be back to Wild Salmon to purchase fresh seafood. Next time, I may have to wait longer, but it will be worth it. read more

Butter. The King Salmon flaked, the texture was butter, and it was worth every penny. Years I've lived here and never went down to Fisherman's Terminal much less that the Wild Salmon Seafood Market was even there. I had been spoiled for years by being a beneficiary of other people's fishing. I want to eat the fish. I don't want to meet my meat. But times change and I realized long ago as the fishers retired and sold their boats I had to find another way. I was pleasantly surprised to find this market. It wasn't my intent when I visited Fisherman's Terminal but I was pleased when I saw it! I studied the board that had the different fish listed. I saw the sign that proclaimed not to enter, that we would be summoned. But once inside I was poorly prepared! It is one thing to look at a board of fresh fish and another to be surrounded by so much food! Only three customers in at time resulted in my companion being asked to leave. That was fine - he wasn't buying anything anyhow so he could go. The gentleman who weighed all my fish was particularly fastidious and patient - a rare combination of traits indeed! My eyes couldn't take in everything. A pound of smelt for my friend so he'd be willing to portion my fish and my fish consisted of black cod, king salmon, and red salmon. I then spied crab meat and got some added to the order. Everyone was so pleasant! I wish I had more time but the demand was high and space small. Then I took the food home and proceeded to eat it and it was delicious. Every bite, every morsel has been exquisite. I am very pleased! read more

The staff at Fresh Fish are more congenial, but the prices are a bit lower here at Wild Salmon, so if I'm in the neighborhood, I stop and pick up a piece of fish like I did today. Check the price board out front for what's been caught that day. There's also plenty critters stocked in the freezers, too. Smoked Black Cod is a standout. Get some fresh halibut if they have it. Buy a can of sardines packed in brine in case of Armageddon. Sardines go great with beans. read more

Thank you! That's truly the only way to start off this review! The guys were great! I had never been and just wanted to look at everything available. I went around 10:00am on a Sunday which is a little risky in my opinion. To my delight they still had plenty of great cuts available! I said I would be grilling the fish and the piece he was going to give me unfortunately didn't have the skin on, which was cool in my mind. No biggie really. But he insisted if I was going to grill it to get a piece from the back with the skin on. So sweet! Truly loved the service. It's close so I'll definitely be going back to support them! read more

Great service and prices! Will be my go to place to get fresh salmon for my family visiting from out of town.

Our family of 6 from LA just dropped into town for 2 nights at a nearby Airbnb, prior to taking a cruise out of Seattle port. With only limited time, instead of looking for a seafood restaurant amidst the "Seafest" congestion happening in downtown that day, we decided to cook ourselves a seafood dinner. When yelped, wild salmon market was just around the corner! The staff were friendly and helpful, and dinner... voila!! Seafood was fresh and tasty! read more

Wild Salmon Seafood Market - four plates of food on a table - Seafood Markets Near Me - Seattle, Washington

If you are looking for a good fish market you have found the place. Fresh fish and great prices! Everything is seasonal so don't expect fresh salmon all the time. You can get smoked salmon from the fridge though for a good part of the year. They also have clams, oysters and other things like pickled herring available. There are a lot of choices and the cases are pretty stocked with fish so no matter what the season is, you'll get fresh fish. This place is pretty busy. Moreso in the summer and fall because the fishing seasons hit on those times. Worse comes to worst you can always check the website to see what they have in stock. The best option is to visit in person though. Fish is updated daily and the website is only a quick view of what they have in stock. The guys are busy but are willing to help out. Don't be afraid to ask for recommendations either. They can tell you what fish is best for ever cooking method. If you are traveling they will also help you package fish and tell you how to transport it without any issues. They'll even wrap it up for you! If you're looking for quality fish at prices cheaper than other places you need to stop here! I mean, the boats stop here so you might as well get the best right? read more

I love this place. They have the most delicious, fresh salmon and halibut. This is the only store where I buy fish.

I brought in a giant bloody bag of about 10 fillets of king. They freshly packaged it in a sealed box in no time I had that thing on the train headed south within the hour, great service. read more

This a great little market for fresh seafood. I ordered a ten oysters for around $16. The oysters were fresh, delicious, and of great quality. The market itself is very small and allows for three customers at time to enter at a time where which could result in some significant wait times. However, there was no wait time when I arrived (1pm on a Monday). This is a great option for those seeking out fresh and local seafood for a special occasion. You should expect to pay more than your local grocery store. read more

I was visiting from SF and offered to cook for eighteen people in my wife's family. First question: what is a classic Seattle meal? Second question: is there a place I can get salmon fresh off the boat? The folks at Wild Salmon Seafood Market were friendly on the phone and extremely helpful in the shop. I opted for a whole Marbled King Salmon. It was not the usual pink-orange color so I thought I'd try something new. They filleted it for me and even put two pounds in a cryovac so my BIL could enjoy it after the hordes had left. Great selection of spices, accessories, and of course local seafood. It was the kind of place I'd imagined in my more optimistic dreams, and the dinner turned out really well with these bad boys on the grill. read more

Once again, a long overdue review. I've been going to Wild Salmon for many years. This is my go-to place for seafood in Seattle. Many years ago, I worked on a seafood processing ship and picked up some pointers on grading salmon. Well, I have to say that WS is top notch In not just that way. There, you get the double-whammy of best quality AND price. Sure, you can find seafood on sale at a better price, but quality won't necessarily be there. Moreover, WS tends to have everyday prices comparable to your average sale price. That said,let's talk product. WS has it down. To die for: Salmon spread, Bay shrimp cocktail (though they're now selling separate the shrimp and their house cocktail sauce), salmon jerky, etc. They also provide fillet service for all whole fish they sell. For free. What seafood? Their first focus is local, fresh, and in season. It's early summer today, and I saw two or three salmon, trout, Black Cod, rockfish,Halibut, crab, clams, squid, and the list goes seemingly forever for such a small store. There will be flash-frozen, but that is actually not a bad thing. I know flash freezing. Just like how an extremely sharp knife cutting an onion goes a huge way to prevent tears, flash freezing doesn't (or, at least, minimizes) molecular rupture. Honest. This is true. Still, what catches my eye is the minimal fish scale loss on the salmon. That's what tells you how gentle their seafood is handled. There are many other side items that keep catching my attention. My wife thinks I'm weird for liking Pickled herring (Scando-local!). Well, put on a good multi-grain cracker, you have a naughty-nutritious snack. WS also sells salmon caviar. "Ikura" is what the Japanese call it. You see on one kind of sushi. Party the local on crackers and wash it down with sparkling wine! Going back to the salmon spread, it's worth getting their crab cakes (!!!!!!!) and making a burger with WS's salmon spread. Whoa, Nelly! You gonna brok yo' mouth!!!!! read more

I have come here twice for seafood. Both times I've picked up black cod and it has always been excellent. They also have some prepped foods like crab cakes and clam chowder. Highly recommended. read more

If you are shopping for fresh seafood, this is a great place to stop. I like to go to a nice dinner at Chinook's and then come here afterward and pick up a shrimp cocktail and some crab cakes for brunch the next day. They have a great display of fresh seafood ranging from salmon to crab, shrimp, scallops, squid and fish. They also have some great condiments like tartar sauce, garlic butter, cedar planks and seasonings for your seafood. The staff are super helpful and always very friendly. They pack up your order and if you tell them you are traveling, they will include an ice pack and wrap it up so that nothing leaks. The service is outstanding. read more

Knowledgeable and helpful staff to answer any questions you might have, not to mention a great selection of seafood!

Local favorite for fresh and seasonal seafood. Located at the fisherman's terminal this small airy and fresh seafood place can't be better situated. From all varieties of fresh or previously frozen fish varieties, smoke salmon, crab, mussels, oysters, clams, clam chowder soup, seasonings, wine pairings- I can go on. For seafood lover this is the place. Of course catch of the season is a big hit here. Staff here have a great passion for seafood and is courteous, knowledgeable and friendly. Service is prompt with proper packaging to carry home your catch. read more

Fresh fish and friendly staff that ALWAYS asks if I'm going straight home (want some ice?). Doesn't specialize in off season stuff, but the in season stuff is GOOD! read more

Prices were super fair and the service was absolutely amazing. Clearly the woman behind the counter new that I wasn't from around here and she took the time to clearly break down the different types of salmon and pros and cons. She made the experience wonderful and we bought some of their spice rubs for future meals. Thanks so much! read more

Stopped here for some snacks and chanced upon salmon jerky and salmon candy. Absolutely delicious but certainly an acquired taste. Great selection of products. read more

I visit the store whenever I need to buy fresh salmon. There was something off with my last purchase, we tried to cook the salmon but it gave a bit of a weird smell. I contacted the store, explained what happened, and they asked me to bring it in. They then replaced it with a fresh one no questions asked. Happy with the quality. Thanks and keep up the good work! read more

More like "wow" salmon seafood market because this place is amazing! A little seafood market with tons of fresh seafood! Dropped by here and got some salmon drip & fresh oyster another day and wanted to come back since. The oyster costed around $1-2 each. Will come back soon! read more

I come here almost weekly to buy seafood. It's the best place in Seattle for high quality fish/clams etc. The employees are always friendly and helpful and I love that they will vacuum seal portions of fish for me to then freeze. Plus the prices are competitive if not better than most other spots. Highly recommend. read more

The place to buy fish in Seattle - located at Fisherman's terminal, next to Chinook's The prices are competitive, and the fish are far fresher than you get at a grocery store. Combine that with a truly knowledgable staff (seafood is all they do), and this is the place to go for fish (though they have one good competitor in the Rainier Valley, if that's closer). If I want to be sure my fish is good (as in for a special occasion), this is the place I go. Grocery stores sometimes do OK, but not always. This is always good. read more

Overdue review.. A week or so ago, I placed my order through a 3rd party delivery service and it did not go well.. I had never had issues prior to this but things happen.. Wild Salmon called to let me know about the issue and that they would figure something out.. They sure did.. Paula called me back a couple minutes later to inform me that she would deliver it. Amazing.. Paula and her team consistently impress with their above and beyond customer service and the quality of their seafood speaks for itself. Keep it up!! read more
