Forget the showmanship of Pike's Place. When I think of an authentic local fish market, this is the…read morekind 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.

This hole in the wall restaurant is super small but has gotten very popular over the years…read more Nowadays, the lines have gotten pretty long so come at an off hour or be prepared to wait a while. The wait is worth it though since this place has some of the best seafood in Seattle! Despite the seafood focused menu, my favorite thing is one of the non-seafood items, the smash burger. The patty is fatty and juicy with a delicious beefy flavor due to the heavy sear. The caramelized onions and melty cheese add a creaminess and depth of flavor, and it's all wrapped in a super pillowy soft bun. Order two of these with the freshly fried crispy salt and pepper fries and you're gonna have a good time. For the seafood options, my favorite things are the shrimp toast and the rockfish banh mi. The shrimp toast has a bunch of delicious springy shrimp paste fried together with crispy bread, topped with a fresh slaw and creamy chili oil mayo. The rockfish banh mi is more veggie forward than your traditional Vietnamese banh mi, but the veggies are well seasoned and are super fresh, which is nice if you're getting some of the fried appetizers. The rockfish on top is a rockfish patty that has the texture in between a meatball and a fish cake, and is light in flavor but goes well with all the veggies.

It was lovely even though it was overcast. Nice view, the food was so comforting and the butter old fashioned topped it off. What a gem down here on Phinney Ridge near Woodland Park Zoo!

Finally used the grocery pickup option as we're shielding so we can see an Immunocompromised friend, and I'll never use another. Not only is the quality of the produce better, but our shopper made sure that we received a much-needed substitution treat when our original choice was out.

I've been coming here for a few years now and then I left the city but whenever I do come back, I make sure to make a pit stop here. Why? Work is right next door to it. So that helps. But also, I feel like the veggies and fruits here are fresh, crisp, and tastier than other places. However... I do feel like prices are a bit higher than last time I was here a couple of months ago. They have parking in the back. It's small and getting in and out alive is a miracle each time. But it exist. If you elect to park on the street, parking enforcement is out everywhere and so be weary. I like their hot bar and salad bar. Always a rotation of items that keeps it busy interesting over time. What I don't think they are good for is snacks. Sometimes I just want something simple and not healthy and this place ain't it. I think this place is better for medium size shops.

I love this farmers market! There are so many vendors offering produce, hot foods, flowers, and…read moremore. Some grocery stores really stretch the definition of "local" to somehow mean selling fruits from California, but this market enforces a tighter definition of local meaning exclusively from Washington state farmers. The market is well spaced so that while it's busy, you're not packed cheek to jowl, and there's room to form orderly queues. The only downside of this market and the main reason I don't visit more often is that getting here poses some challenges. The light rail doesn't go here (I'm still waiting for a legitimate ETA for the Ballard Link Extension, really, how long can 8 miles take??) and finding parking is a nightmare. The other reason is that I'm always so tempted to over buy the hot foods and bakery goods since everything smells so amazing here!

Ballard Farmers Market was my favorite farmers market in the greater Seattle area for many years…read more Recently, the booth count seems to be less than before, with restaurants occupying the street space (understandably) along two blocks. Subsequently, I lost some interest since I don't live nearby. While I was in Ballard on a recent Sunday, I rushed to the market to see if it was still open. Officially, it was not; they closed at 2pm. But they were still packing up. I believe they are not allowed to sell after the official closing time; I asked one vendor, they declined. The staff wants the streets to reopen as soon as possible. As I walked the two blocks, several vendors still have some items on display on their tables. With a bit of wink, wink, accidentally dropping cash on the table and accidentally taking things off the table, I walked away with goodies. I won't say what I bought to avoid anyone getting into trouble. Street parking was easy enough nearby on a Sunday.

Staff was helpful and friendly.

It's super convenient to have a HMart in Ballard so I don't have to drive all the way to Asian…read moreFamily Market on Aurora for some of our Asian ingredients. There are pros and cons to this market though. One big pro is they have a decent selection of ingredients for Asian dishes. I was making potstickers for friends last month and I got a medium green cabbage for $1.90, a bunch of green onions for $1.99, and a knob of fresh ginger for 12 cents. I also got two packages or potsticker wrappers for $3.99 (they are in the freezer section). I could have bought some of these things cheaper at a different market, but for the convenience of getting it all at one place, it was worth paying a bit more. Another pro is sometimes their prepared food section has some tasty vittles. Recently, I bought a large piece of grilled mackerel for $8.99. It was tasty but boy do you have to watch out for bones! Another pro is they carry the delicious and local Sugimoto brand green tea here and it's a lot quicker to get it here than to drive all the way to Uwajimaya's in the ID. Another pro is the free parking lot! Now, on to the cons. One major con for me is the super loud and irritating music blaring from the speakers. I don't know how the staff keep from going insane listening to this loud music all day long. Another con is sometimes the prepared food section is filled with old and sad looking foods. Like it looks like someone cooked the stuff hours ago and who knows how long it's been sitting there? Another con is I wish there was an actual butcher available to help with the meats. Like, I needed some ground pork but they didn't have it. They had some good-looking sliced pork tenderloin that I could have had them grind up for me like they do at some Asian markets but that wasn't an option. Another con from my fellow Yelpers is it seems that some of the plastic wrapped produce is rotting or molding inside. I don't buy produce here very much so I haven't encountered it yet and I hope I never will. So it's a mixed bag at the HMart in Ballard but I am still glad that it exists.
