"The Pike Place Market Preservation and Development Authority (PDA), the entity that governs Seattle’s most popular tourist attraction, is apparently a fierce defender of its trademark,. In September, the PDA sued Pike Place Fish Market, one of the market’s most famous tenants, for using the words 'Pike Place' in non-market contexts, which the PDA argues amounts to trademark infringement. The suit is ongoing." - Harry Cheadle

"Yes, it’s the place where they throw the fish. Call this Pike Place staple to place an order for pickup, and they also offer national shipping of local seafood like king crab and housemade smoked salmon. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

"To deal with opening delays, seafood restaurant and microcannery Little Fish began lunch pop-ups at sister space Jarrbar on July 10, and the resulting photos are giving future patrons a peek at the upcoming menu. Recently the lunch offered included pork and chicken liver terrine, Irish soda bread with gravlox tartine, summer squash fritters, and lots of tinned fish option. When it officially opens, Little Fish aims to be a full-experience destination like Pike Place Market neighbors Beecher’s Handmade Cheese and the Seattle Fish Guys, with windows into a microcannery revealing the seafood preservation process and an open kitchen to show off chef Zoi Antonitsas and team at work." - Erin Perkins

What an amazing place! They have so many different offerings and the vibe here is awesome! I bought a couple pounds of mushroom and the guy here was incredibly helpful...to the point that I flew home with POUNDS of produce, nearly packed for TSA - they didn't even bat an eyelash. The seafood is outstanding, the produce is next level, and what a cute place to spend the morning having the freshest breakfast ever. Pike Place was a highlight of the trip! If you're anywhere close to this place, you HAVE to go?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Pike Place Fish Market is an absolute must-visit when in Seattle! The lively atmosphere, combined with the iconic flying fish experience, creates a fun and unforgettable stop in the heart of the market. The staff is incredibly friendly, skilled, and they really know how to put on a show. Beyond the entertainment, the seafood here is top-notch—fresh, flavorful, and responsibly sourced. I picked up some of their famous smoked salmon, and it was the best I've ever had! Whether you're a local or a tourist, this place truly embodies the spirit of Seattle. Highly recommended!

A popular local market known for selling a lot of hand crafted stuff in Seattle. This place also has the very first Starbucks. Always crowded and many new things to explore. The waterfront view is also beautiful. There is a famous gum wall made from bubblegums (sounds gross though).

Don’t miss this place! Your kids will totally geek out on all the fish! Watching these guys toss really big fish around, playing catch with a twenty pound salmon is fun and amazing! They will let a customer try their hand at the fish occasionally! There are always free samples and the fishmonger guys all repeating orders in loud sing song voices. It’s really an amazing little spectacle in the middle of what is truly a wild scene in the Pike Place Market. Don’t miss this!

Pike Place Fish Market is one of the world-famous fresh fish markets. The storefront is lined with fresh, locally caught seafood, including wild salmon, halibut, cod, king crab, and caviar, with seasonal seafood arriving daily. One of the highlights of this market is the flying fish. It's a must-see as fish soar through the air for several yards between the staff!

Okay, this is a must for anyone going to Seattle. The food, culture, shops are you would honestly need if this was the one place you were going. Just minutes away from the ocean, piers. The food is amazing. Highly suggest going or making it a stop. Go early for good parking

This experience is not to be missed on a trip to Seattle! The guys that run the shop are very friendly and will answer all of the touristy questions. Fun fact: they can ship any requested item on ice (overnight), guaranteed to arrive fresh, NOT frozen! You may wait a bit to see the “fish throwing” as they only do it once someone buys something. It’s definitely worth waiting to see!
