Steamers Seafood Cafe

Yes, this is the same Steamers outlet that can be found on Alaskan Way and Seattle Center. The biggest thing I have to ask is why not just get Ivar’s. Certainly there is higher customer familiarity for that brand.
When comparing Ivar’s and Steamers, they are pretty much even in regards to what they offer. Similar menus, though I do think that Ivar’s is a bit better on some items. Like the salmon chowder they offer.
Still, it is nice to have a fish and chips type place at The Commons for a casual menu. Their menu is full of fried seafood items, with a few healthier options. There also are daily specials. Wednesday means coconut prawns & chips ($ 7.50).
The prawns were fairly large. They are better known as butterfly shrimp. The shrimp and fries were both decent. The meal was fine. It feels you up, though it kind of leaves you feeling hungry after a just a few hours.
I do have to say the service here was pretty quick. If you are in a hurry, I think Steamers would be a good bet. Just do not like the stomach hunger that comes so fast after eating.
