Fish & chips, crab puppies, gumbo, and po' boys
"This fish and chip shop on the corner of Rainier Ave S. and S. Charleston does serve great crispy halibut, salmon, and everything in between. But Emerald City’s true pièce de résistance is their crab puppies. No, they’re not a zoology experiment gone wrong—they’re made up of a crab cake mixture combined with hushpuppy batter in one convenient package that has a brittle shell giving way to fluffy, crabby cornbread fritters. Dunk them liberally in the accompanying zesty tartar sauce." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"This fish and chips spot serves great seafood with a ton of variety, from perfectly-seasoned cod to crunchy, breaded salmon. And their incredible crab puppies—which sound like the cutest baby animals in existence—are a delicious cross between crab cakes and hushpuppies. Order those with extra sides of Emerald City’s spicy tartar sauce, or be eternally sad when you run out with still a handful of fries left." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"Down near Columbia City, there’s a fish and chip shop on the corner of Rainier and Charlestown that you might have driven right past without noticing. Not only do they serve some of the best fried seafood in the city, but there’s a ton of variety here, from perfectly-seasoned cod to crunchy, breaded salmon. Their incredible crab puppies—which sound like the cutest baby animals in existence—are also a delicious cross between crab cakes and hushpuppies. Order these with extra sides of Emerald City’s spicy tartar sauce, or be eternally sad when you run out with still a handful of fries left." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
"While known for excellent Southern-style fish and chips fried-to-order, this takeout spot has many menu gems including crab puppies and oyster po boys. The homemade spicy tartar sauce is the ultimate french fry condiment and those who swing by from Sunday to Tuesday can get a cup of great seafood gumbo on the side." - Joey Carreon
"Combining the spice and flavors of owner Stevie Allen’s Southern roots with Pacific Northwest traditions leads to things like crab puppies, spiced vinegary sweet potato fries, and crisply fried breaded Alaskan cod with a dusting of spices. There’s no shortage of great fish and chips in Seattle, but Emerald City is a particularly special bargain." - aimee rizzo
