La Marea Marisqueria

We ordered the entire menu and I’m salivating again just thinking about it! They are serving up some of the most authentic Mexican flavors made with love and impeccable care for fresh ingredients. The skill and passion Bo brings to his menu is his own, and the love and excitement of what both Liz and Bo bring to their work is what keeps bringing us around their table! Saturdays they serve up a bagel worth getting out of bed for: pillowy Toasted sesame bagel from Backyard, topped with Bo’s secret saucy,creamy and spicy smoked albacore and salsa macha cream cheese bagel 🤩👀, need I say more? Bring your iced coffee and Take. A. Seat!

I’ve been a regular since they started making tacos about a year ago, and I’ve been loving their switch to mariscos (seafood in a Mexican style). They do oysters every Monday, and I’ve realized that oysters should really always come with a passionfruit sauce and lime— it’s the perfect kick of fruity sweetness and acidity. Alternating that and the aguachile makes me feel like I’m on a beach. The hamachi is what I go with if I’m craving something a little less spicy, it has subtle hints of savory and salt. The ahi tuna tostada is the thing I basically always order— it’s spicy, savory, delicately flavored. It’s a really good balance of smoky, fruity chile morita, with top grade tuna. It’s like a nice sashimi dinner but with additional complex flavors. One thing I’ve loved in the year I’ve been coming is hearing a lot more Spanish as they get more buzz, and watched them grow into their community. It’s a nice place to talk to people at the bar and spend an hour or two.

My wife and I decided to make a trip over to Fair Isle brewing to try out La Marea. We have been following them on instagram and finally made a trip to try out the food. We are super happy we made the trip because this food is amazing! My wife took her first bite of her tuna tostada and said " this has to be one of the best things I've ever had" and she wasn't lying. That tostada was amazing and had so much flavor! She ended up going back for another one. I ordered the Mixta tostada and the aguachile with Scallops and passion fruit Habanero. The mixta tostada was so good and the flavors were insane. The aguachile was really good too. I wish it was spicer but the habanero and passion fruit was really good. We sat at the bar and the chef was talking to us and telling us about his journey from pop up to full time kitchen for fair isle. Very excited to see what other food items they come up with because they are making some great food! I can't wait to keep coming back for delicious beer and even more delicious food!

La Marea has the most creative fish dishes I’ve had in Seattle! I got the Mixta tostada, hamachi/tuna tostada and the clam chowder. Every dish was a burst of flavor and super fresh fish. Great people and great food will definitely have me coming back often.

Starting off with $2 oysters all day monday! So damn good and really likes their verde and passion fruit sauces (?). Food was yummy and fresh, definitely would come back again. PS: One of my fav micheladas in Seattle!!! They do the rim right and mix was just insane. LOVED IT.

This is exactly what Seattle has been missing!! Incredible Mexican seafood. The tostadas are a must. Honestly, these rival what you would get in Baja! Try the tuna tostada, guaranteed to love it! Also, their habanero salsa is 10/10. ☺️ Get that on the side!

Wow! The Tuna tostadas and the aguachile were incredible, some of the best Mexican seafood I’ve had outside of Baja California! This was our first time here and we enjoyed everything we ordered. Their micheladas were also very tasty! 😋 10/10 Great friendly service too!

Best Mexican seafood in Seattle and amazing staff. Highly recommend.

I always preface by saying this: I lived in NYC for over 10 years and I think most Seattle restaurants are "meh" at best. I just had the aguachiles at the Seafood Festival....wow. It had a nice spice to it and sweetness of passionfruit-- and the team working was so nice. I'm so glad the festival featured local restaurants and pop ups so I can go back and enjoy in the future!

La Marea is it. The hunt is over. As two Southern California transplants, my husband and I have been searching for the best mariscos in the Seattle area. After 3 years, we can conclusively say La Marea is #1. All fresh ingredients, incredible flavors, and really creative dishes. The staff knows what they're doing and are some of the nicest folks out there! The Tuna tostada is out of this world. My brain melted as I ate it. Truly a work of art. Grab yourself a delicious beer from Fair Isle then snag anything off the La Marea menu -- you can't go wrong. After visiting two days in a row, we're planning our next trip back to Ballard for our fix ;)

Just went here for the sandwich saga and I was blown away! Especially the tuna churro that thing was a dish to remember the rest of my life! I don't know if it was just a special but it should be regularly on the menu. The seafood dishes all tasted so fresh were creative without being pretentious, they were also very friendly. It is so fantastic! I wish they would open up a brick and mortar!

Happened to be staying around the corner and was looking for something fresh and new (at least to me). My first time having uni and it was a stunner. Fresh, bright, just the right amount of brine, on a perfect tostada. Then, I just had to get in on the oysters as well. The last day both were being offered and I had 0 regrets getting both. A delightful amount of spice. Not too much but enough to know it's there and complement the flavors of everything else. Wash it down with a michelada and I was a very satisfied customer. An incredible meal done by a 2 person crew. Sat by the kitchen and got to talk with them as they slung so many plates of delicious food. I can't wait until I can come back and share this gem with others!

Delicious! What Seattle has been missing . . . Amazing Mexican seafood. All the tostadas were incredible. You must try the tuna tostada! Honestly, this rivals what you get in Baja. Also love their habanero salsa . . Order as a side, you won't regret it!

Such fresh seafood and incredible flavors on their dishes (and very generous servings). Nothing better in Seattle and as good if not better than dishes I've had in CA.
