Fish comes first at Old Salt, but the bagels are very good too - Review - Seattle - The Infatuation

"This Fremont bagel operation from the folks behind Rupee Bar goes beyond the basics—and we like it that way. Case in point: sesame bagels include aleppo pepper, lox sandwiches are packed with pea shoots, and vegetable cream cheese has chunks of roasted red peppers and lemon zest. It’s all undeniably pleasant smashed between the proprietary dough rings, which almost resemble pizza crust—mostly spongy throughout with a resounding crunch here and there on the bottom. But what really sets Old Salt apart is the fish, as we’d go to great lengths for their anatomically perfect lox. And when you consider easy online ordering and ample weekday availability, beyond-basic couldn’t be more attainable in the morning. Food Rundown Everything Bagel It has caraway seeds, so make the right informed decision for you based on that fact. We can’t choose for you. Black Sesame Bagel With Chili Cream Cheese Prepare to detail your car afterwards if you eat this one in the front seat, as sesame seeds will start shedding upon contact. But the added aleppo is nice paired with Old Salt’s calabrian chili cream cheese, earthy from a hit of urfa biber and loaded with bright lemon zest. photo credit: Aimee Rizzo Lox Sandwich Old Salt succeeds at bagel-destined fish, as evidenced by sushi-soft salmon cured with gin and dill among other aromatics. Slapped on a sandwich with a cucumber-y vegetable cream cheese, grassy pea shoots, and salmon roe, it’s worth the $16, especially when there are similarly priced breakfasts in town that don’t involve caviar." - Aimee Rizzo
