Wild Salmon Seafood Market

Much of their case was empty during my visit — I hope that this is not a regular occurrence. The pickled herring they sell here is very good. I plan to come back next time I’m picking up wine and meat from the other stores in this building.

Wild Salmon is great! It’s right near our house and I frequent there so often that I have their phone number saved in my favorites list in my phone for quick access. Noah is the fish monger and he’s the best, not only does he offer the best and freshest fish but he always has advice on how to prepare and what to pair it with, doesn’t hurt that he’s super friendly and always remembers your name. Go check em out and get some delicious fish to cook up!

We thought the fish was right off the boat. but the fish monger informed us that it was frozen. But it was only because of the time of year. We bought 2 pounds of one of their salmons. It was more than enough to feed 4 adults and 3 kids. Really neat that they are right on the docks. You can walk to the boats in just a few seconds. The fish market in Pikes Place is something to see but this place (during certain seasons for certain fish) couldn’t get any fresher. If I lived in Seattle I’d come here weekly for my fish!

Today after buying 120#‘s of Albacore off a boat, my Aussie friend & his two boys went to Wild Salmon so he could buy some filets os Sanpper for the nights dinner, recommended buy the boat owner. We walked in, three guys trimming fish did not acknowledge us being there. It was 5 minutes before one turned, looked, & went back to ‘working’. We almost walked out until one asked what we wanted, then pointed to another ‘happy’ guy to try to get us taken care of.
Apparently this place is makeing too much money. My Aussie buddy was not impressed & wished he hadn’t bought there. The prices are too high for that kind of service. I’m not a business trasher & have been there before & met the owner who was nowhere to be found to discuss the issue.
Buyer beware.

I came here to buy food for our homemade Valentine’s Day dinner. I told the guy what was on my mind: homemade Valentine’s Day dinner, pescatarian and nice but also different than the usual stuff we made.
He was very nice and helpful, but I think he was kind of annoyed I didn’t take his suggestions. haha. Sorry but its just that the stuff he suggested (salmon, tuna) were things we ate a lot and the clam chowder had bacon! Totally not his fault but I just wasn’t feeling it. Sir, if you’re reading this, thanks for your help. Really, please don’t be offended or annoyed at me!
I settled on the clams for $ 3.99/lb, halibut cakes at $ 7.99 for 2 and crab cakes at $ 11.99 for 2. I thought the clams were fine priced, but the other items were not exactly cheap. It was what I expected for a specialty market though and I was willing to pay a little more for good stuff for a special occasion. I obviously don’t buy crab cakes as a normal Wednesday night meal.
I also got a nice supply of recipes for cooking in the future.
The crab cakes were definetely the standout of the meal. The clams were of a nice quality too. The halibut cakes were well-​done but we just thought overall it was wierd. I wanted to try it because it sounded different, but the texture was kind of dry and didn’t really lead well to a cake form. Gary mentioned the crab cakes had thyme or safe which sounds about right. The halibut cakes had cilantro.
All in all, this was a good experience. I would come again if I was looking to make a fancy dinner at home.

It’s worth it to hike/​bike up the hill for some fish from here.
They have a great selection of seasonal fish, crab, scallops, prawns, etc.
The fish is fresh and tasty. They will scale/​skin/​debone for you free-​of-​charge if you ask. Their crab cakes are good too — mostly crab meat, has thyme and/​or sage in it. Like your crab cakes flavored differently? Get their dungeness crab meat (cooked daily) and make your own.
Bonus that they are co-​located with A&J Meats– a one-​stop shop for protein!

Located in a shared space with A J meats, this little seafood market is a real gem for the Queen Anne neighborhood. The seafood selection is small but seasonal with the freshest options available. If you care where your food comes from, and want the freshest, highest quality available and live nearby you would be a fool to buy seafood anywhere else. Extra bonus, AJ meats is also a wonderful butcher, so you can do some serious protein shopping mulit-​tasking. Wonderful wine shop Mccarthy & Schiering is next door to round off a nice little foodie holy trinity. Three great small businesses worthy of your patronage.

The smoked salmon was delicious here and the staff person I spoke to was very knowledgeable.
