Burien Fish House - Review - Burien - Seattle - The Infatuation

"This laid-back strip mall joint isn’t near any body of water, but it feels like a beachside diner. There are crab nets adorning the walls, a wooden boat hanging upside down on the ceiling, an aquarium, and wafts of freshly fried seafood coming out of the kitchen. Of that deep fried stuff, the fish and chips dish stands out the most, with a wonderfully flaky casing that leaves a satisfying crunch. Get the halibut over the cod for the best flavor. And don't neglect the restaurant’s crab rolls, either —they come with a substantial portion of meat mixed with celery, diced red pepper, and housemade tartar sauce that adds depth. Food Rundown Captain's Platter You can get the salmon, cod, or halibut individually, but all three as a combo is the best choice. We like the beer battered version, though there's a panko option, too. And you can mix and match tartar sauces (go for the habanero for a little extra kick). Crab Roll A more than admirable hunk of crustacean, but you’ll probably need to sploosh in lots of lemon to add brightness. This roll also has nicely toasted bread and crispy fries are included. photo credit: Gabe Guarente" - Gabe Guarente
