The Best Seafood Restaurants in Seattle

"You probably know the Walrus for its oysters — this perpetually crowded Ballard bivalve bar is the most famous restaurant from Renee Erickson, one of Seattle’s most famous restaurateurs. And granted, if you come here you should get some oysters on the half shell. But don’t forget about the small plates that pair top-flight fish with seasonal ingredients. The grilled sardines are a great option if you want something slightly meaty, and the fried oysters with cilantro aioli are the secret menu stars." - Mark DeJoy
