Sustainable seafood market & restaurant with rotating oysters






"Part sustainability-focused fish market, part restaurant, the patio feels nearly seaside. The crew at Flying Fish expertly shucks hundreds, if not thousands, of oysters per week. Everything comes from farms that are small or environmentally conscious. Happy hour’s salty, ice-cold oysters, a glass of sake or non-alcoholic beer, a shaded patio, and perfectly seasoned and crispy jojos make for a pretty near-perfect afternoon. Horseradish, lemon, mignonette, and hot sauce might adorn your oysters, and the thyme-infused malt vinegar, organic Portland ketchup, and barnacle hot sauce all complement the jojos perfectly. It’s almost like walking to the coast and then sleeping in your own bed." - Anastasia Sloan

"Flying Fish Company’s covered patio with ample seating and fire pits is synonymous with eating tasty things that come from the sea. The move: Check the oyster board for a selection of Washington varieties and prized picks from the East Coast, order a dozen, then move on to fish and chips served with a side of jojos, the city’s de facto fried potato dish." - krista garcia

"Flying Fish’s fresh market has been a standby among home cooks for years, thanks to its impeccably sourced fish. It’s since graduated from a word-of-mouth-powered seafood shack to a destination storefront complete with a lovely seafood luncheonette serving standards like grilled shrimp tacos and fish-and-chips alongside smoked salmon platters and wild tuna poke. Grab a seat at one of the outdoor picnic tables and start with a round of shucked-to-order oysters — the market offers some of the city’s freshest and most expansively sourced." - Ben Coleman

"Thanks to their heated, covered patio, this fish market and restaurant in Kerns can be enjoyed year-round, but everyone knows summer is the best season for sampling all the tasty things that come from the sea. Check the oyster board for a selection of lesser-known Washington varieties like Disco Hama and Lucky Penny, plus prized picks from the East Coast. If you come with a group, we recommend starting with a dozen, then moving on to the greaseless fish and chips, made with wild rockfish and served with a side of jojos, the city’s de facto fried starch. If you’re free weekdays, the 2-5pm happy hour delivers oysters, fish tacos, and more for fast food prices. photo credit: Sarah Yeoman photo credit: Sarah Yeoman photo credit: Sarah Yeoman photo credit: Sarah Yeoman Pause Unmute" - Krista Garcia

"Lyf Gildersleeve’s sustainable fish market and restaurant Flying Fish Co. has built a charming patio where diners can enjoy the seafood and wine of the market in relative comfort. Short, bright-toned hardwood walls, blue umbrellas, and bamboo offer protection from the rain, while fireplace heaters keep things warm." - Thom Hilton
