Shark Bite Ceviches
Shark Bite’s ceviche showing is good, but the space needs work - Review - Seattle - The Infatuation
"Outside this Phinney Ridge walk-up window, giant yellow banners flap around like there’s a blowout sale at a mattress store. But instead of 20% off memory foam, they’re advertising Shark Bite Ceviches. Here you can get a decent version of the namesake dish, even if the dining setup leaves a little to be desired. The short-and-sweet menu includes a generous pile of lime-marinated fish of your choice, mixed with colorful add-ins like onions, tomatoes, and mango chopped so finely they could pass for Party City confetti. The halibut option is pretty tasty, as is the tosticeviche. We just wish there were better seating options besides a bunch of picnic tables. When it's chilly out, eating raw fish outside here is uncomfortable, and the compostable takeout containers tend to get soggy fast. Best to head here on a warm day when the large patio makes sense. Food Rundown Shrimp Tosticeviche Plump cubes of shrimp and Salsa Verde Tostitos (arguably the best kind) get cozy inside the chips bag alongside jicama and peanuts for crunch. A squeeze of lime, a shake of Tajín, and a generous drizzle of hot sauce add tons of acid and salt, and a little moisture to tie it all together. Definitely worth ordering, especially when the straight ceviche starts to feel a little monotonous. photo credit: Kayla Sager-Riley Halibut Ceviche This one’s the best of the ceviche bunch. Fleshy halibut soaks up the lime juice and seasoning well, injecting bright, zesty flavor into every bite. photo credit: Kayla Sager-Riley Salmon Ceviche You don’t get a ton of fishiness, but this version's still a solid option, as tiny mango chunks make things a little more exciting, adding refreshment and sweetness. photo credit: Kayla Sager-Riley Octopus Ceviche This is the least interesting of the lineup. Finely chopped tomatoes, celery, and red onion do most of the work, as the chewy, bland octopus gets lost in the mix. photo credit: Kayla Sager-Riley" - Kayla Sager-Riley
