"You’ll learn quickly that Pike Place Market can be a bit much. On your left, there’s a person who just shoved a sample of dried chocolate-infused pasta in your face. On your right, a lotion artisan from Mukilteo is yelling, “Hey, you never have to speak to me again if you just take a sniff of this hand cream!” But you’re not here for any of that (we mean it—the aforementioned chocolate pasta is not good). You’re here for seafood. Head to Market Grill, a counter located at the epicenter of the swirling chaos around you. Grab a barstool and enjoy one of Seattle’s great treasures: the blackened salmon sandwich. Stuffed with tasty spiced fish, rosemary mayo, grilled onions, and romaine on a baguette, it’s the perfect reprieve from the crowds." - Aimee Rizzo, Kayla Sager Riley
