Tim’s Seafood

Another winner winner on my list with great selection of fresh seafood, to die for crab and artichoke dip (homemade is the best!) and they do it just right! The Cioppino Seafood soup is a must take home in a bucket size. Prices for soup is very reasonable.
Tim will be open until December 26 and then the store is moving in a month or so nearby. Be sure to stop by and tell them Amiga Debbie recommended their place and get an extra special treatment.
If you like super sales, go on December 26, this will be their closing day until the new relocation. I’m going to stock up!
Seeeeeeeeeeeeeafoood and service at its best!

Should always be people’s first choice. No better place for smoked salmon, salmon dip, crab cakes, or fish fresh enough for homemade sushi
Try the salmon dip!

the statement once shame on me twice shame on you is very apt at Tim’s. This is the second time I have purchased ‘fresh’ Dungeness crab only to get it home and discover it is ‘frozen’ watery, mushy and zilch taste. I tossed this last purchase $ 26.75 as I was embarrassed to serve to guests. The cocktail sauce is awesome but the crab is crap. I have asked for a refund, we will see if Tim stands behind his product. I will not shop there agin as one never knows if it is fresh or frozen food.

I’ve come here a few times, but mostly for lunch to treat myself to their calamari salad! So good! I haven’t tried the poke like everyone is raving about, but I plan to soon.
They have a great selection here. Good prices too, I don’t see why you would want to hop next door to QFC when you have this right here. Smoked salmon, beautiful filets of assorted fish, crab, shrimp; literally everything!
And the customer service is always on point. They are friendly and quick!

Tim’s has replaced going out to eat for our family. Pretty much every meal involves some type of fish from Tim’s. The people are friendly, courteous and that complements their exceptional fish products. I don’t know how they do it but fish is about as fresh as you can get without taking it from the ocean yourself.

I would love to give them 5 stars. The ONLY reason that I don’t is bc they are a tad on the pricey side. I don’t necessarily blame them — they’re a «Mom and Pop» shop and their product is always fresh and tasty… but I only go there about 2−3x/year cuz they’re pricey. Other than this, they definitely are a 5-​star establishment.

Great quality seafood, but it’s pricey!
I don’t have seafood that often, but when I do, I want a high quality, super fresh product, and this is where you can find it. It’s extremely fresh, and beautifully displayed. The crab cakes are AMAZING, and I will drive all the way here, rather than pick some up at Whole Foods (which is much closer to me).
Tim and his team are friendly, and know their stuff. Worth every penny!

I’m so hooked on Tim’s it’s my weekend ritual to stop by to get some fresh high quality seafood. Their workers (including Tim of course) is super friendly so you get the best seafood and great service. Just an awesome shop all around :).

Wow. I was really hesitant to buy the crab cakes b/​c of the price tag, but I’m so glad I did. They were amazing. :) I will definitely come back again, which is sad. B/​c my wallet isn’t going to appreciate it. :P

Definitely a positive experience at our first visit to Tim’s Seafood! The selection wasn’t huge, but it was larger than I anticipated based on other reviews here — a nice surprise! The fish looked really fresh and there were ready to eat options as well as ready to cook options too. We opted for some halibut cakes (my husband is a huge halibut fan) and some cioppino (’tis the season!). The halibut cakes and crab cakes are about ¹⁄₃ pound each, and not skimpy at all with the fish inside. The fillets of seafood looked amazing and I’m definitely planning on heading back to get something yummy to cook up another time!
The service was very friendly, polite and professional. We were greeted almost instantly when we walked in, and we never felt pressured to buy more than we wanted (which can be an issue at some places — but not here!).
I’m glad we were finally able to step in here — I’d say it’s on par with the Whole Foods fish department for sure… none of that scary stuff you see in other supermarkets here!
Good Aloha spirit here!

Fresh fish daily. The staff can help you with the perfect seafood choice. Nice to have them right in Kirkland.

Best seafood store on the Eastside. No joke these guys da kine. If your not in the mood to cook up any of their wonders have their cioppono it’s simply amazing. Maholo Tim!

Went here for the first time today, after passing by many times, and I will definitely be back! The staff was beyond friendly, fun and charming. I ordered a half pound of sweet and spicy salmon jerky, which I was planning on taking home for family to try… It was gone by the time I got back to work. Perhaps the most delectable thing that’s ever graced my mouth. They had an extremely impressive display, and the cioppino on the lunch bar smelled divine.
I’ll be back. Probably weekly. And I’m going to check the laws in the state of Washington about the possibility of marrying that salmon jerky.

This is my go to fish monger! Super great product, exceptional staff! I highly recommend the Ahi Poke and dry pack scallops. Everything here is perfect! Truly the best crab cakes you can get ANYWHERE! Had some unreal FAT King Salmon tonight that was beyond words! Support a superb local business!

Fan-​friggin-​tastic! I especially love their crab cakes and halibut cakes… they are some of the most flavorful, freshest cakes I’ve ever eaten, and they are LOADED with crab and halibut! The mini shrimp are great, too, especially when combined with green salad. I think their homemade dill sauce is to die for, and the tartar sauce is pretty tasty, too. Unfortunately I don’t live nearby, so when I’m in the area I always try to stop in. The employees are always super friendly and attentive, and I can’t wait to go in again soon to try out some more seafood goodies!

First time here today even though I’ve known about it for a while and live right up the street. I was craving ahi poke and decided to stop by. The poke was fairly expensive (about $ 21/​lb — pricey, but not outrageously pricey), but very fresh and SO ONO and worth every penny! I was in heaven eating my poke in the car in the parking lot. Hahaha. It took every bone in my body to save some for my boyfriend. I actually should have ate it all and not told him about my visit to Tim’s. I’ll be back for more fresh fish… even if I go broke and have to eat saimin every other day of the week. The guy working there I am assuming was Tim? The owner? Not sure, but he was super friendly and helpful!!!

This place sums up exactly what i love about the Pacific Northwest and confirms to me that I made the right choice about moving here. First off, I love the focus on local and SUPER fresh product. I love being able to gaze deeply into the eyes of my rainbow trout to ensure they are shiny and healthy looking, before asking the fishmonger to fillet it for me. I’ve never had that experience before, to actually have a fish filleted on the spot for me. To tell you the truth, it was kind of magical. He took care to remove a lot of pinbones, which I appreciated. I docked them one star because there were still quite a few left, but I was able to remove those myself at home. But since not everyone would do that upon getting home, I think it’s a slight flaw that requires referencing.
The second thing that makes this place epitomize this part of the country is just how friendly everyone working here has been, every time I visit. So incredibly helpful, whether it’s to assure me about using dungeness meat in my crabcakes (I’m Maryland born and New England bred, so I took some convincing that it would be as tasty as jumbo lump blue crab), offering me samples of their amazing spicy salmon jerky (so worth the hefty price tag, I promise), counseling me on portioning my fillets for dinner, or telling me about their own fishing adventures. They clearly love what they do and their product, and I am forever grateful that they are located so close to my apartment.

I love the seafood here, and owner Tim is great.
But last time I was in there the guy behind the counter was SMOKING. I asked if someone was smoking back there and he said yes, with a look and tone that said I could F off if I didn’t like it. Seriously SMOKING and cutting fish at the same time. I was in shock. The whole store smelled so much like smoke I could barely stand it. Then I left and my clothes stunk too.
The guy was a total JERK. Texting, ignoring me, actually trying to rip the fish apart when the knife was not sharp enough.
I was a loyal customer — there every weekend and spending $ 50-​$ 75 each time. NEVER AGAIN.

If you want seafood thats fresh that come from small vender’s Go here! The staff is always helpful and will tell you how to cook something. What I love about this place. Once I came in wanting to cook fish tacos and I was going to buy the expensive fish. The owner told me that the cheaper fish $ 9 a pound rock cod would give a better flavor for my tacos. Well, he was right and I appreciate the fact that they weren’t trying to just make a quick buck You will pay a dollar more for your fish here but its fresher and doesn’t taste like shit. Their manilla clams are wonderful. I bought them from qfc once and will never go back. The ones from qfc tasted like pooh and half were dead after I cooked them. I’ve never had bad seafood from Tims. Try their parmesian dip that Tim’s wife makes sooo good.

Want good, (read: expensive) high quality (expensive) seafood (expensive) with great service (expensive) and friendly advice (free)? Check out Tim’s Seafood. For a seafood place, they have a pretty consistent selection which would normally make me suspicious except the fishmongers seem to personally know all of their suppliers.
Penn Cove mussels, cod cheeks, salmon fillets, U10 scallops (dry packed (expensive)) all presented in a clean (expensive), helpful environment. Don’t know how to cook something? Ask and you’ll receive thorough directions on how to best prepare your (expensive) fruits of the sea.
Unfortunately, they’re a little expensive.
