Sustainable seafood market & restaurant, fresh oysters, fish & chips
"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
"Burnside’s Flying Fish Company makes a compelling argument for sustainable seafood in the form of Korean jjamppong abundant with shellfish and wild Sockeye poke. Yes, the market sells Pacific Northwestern essentials like house-smoked salmon, rockfish and chips, and bracingly briny and sweet Washington oysters on the half shell; however, the restaurant also illustrates the versatility of the fish owner Lyf Gildersleeve sources. Chef Erik Englund dollops delicate mounds of Dungeness on shiso leaves, the faintest hints of brine and acidity highlighting the quality of the crab, while seasonal market catch fish — recently, white fish — shows off its heartiness in a luxurious saffron-miso butter, served with coconut jasmine rice and citrus kale slaw. Gildersleeve has developed personal relationships with many fishers throughout the region, so passionate about sustainable fishing and the health of our oceans that he has a full attached nonprofit dedicated to policymaking, advocacy, and education." - Eater Staff
