Pure Food Fish Market

Just be incredibly aware of what you’re buying! Our most recent experience moved us from an occasional orderer to a never again orderer. The photo on the right is what we received. The photo on the left shows that it’s readily available from other vendors for a fraction of the price. We assumed (yes, that part is on us) that we’d be getting freshly in-store packed scallops. We assumed this because: —How they’re presented when you buy them in the store. —The product description on the website makes no mention of them being pre-packaged. —There’s a mandatory $25 charge for vacuum packaging, implying they’re vacuum packed in the store. C’mon!! $89.50 for the same product that’s readily available for less than $20! ($64.50 for the product and $25 for vacuum packaging when it’s being shipped in the original manufacturer’s packaging? The same packaging that’s standard for that type of prepackaging!) Never. Again.

I made several orders before I signed up for an account. Since I made an acct I've placed two orders. The last one being 2# of Alderwood Smoked Salmon. Without question it is the best smoked salmon, or any smoked fish I've had. Prior orders were for their large lobsters. The lobsters were absolutely fantastic. All the orders arrived when I was told they'd be here, were in excellent packaging and the seafood was at the right temperature. I highly recommend Pure Food Fish Market!!

Great customer service!!! Ordered early in the Am and it was shipped out before noon on the same day. Arrived at my doorstep the next day by 11am all the way on the Northshore of Oahu , Hawai’i just in time for our 14th anniversary.🙌🏾🙌🏾 Quality of fish and Oysters were off the charts definitely will be ordering from them again. 🤙🏾 Aloha

Ordered the whole salmon online. They didn't have the right weight even though they were showing on the website that they do have it. The seller stated that he can ship a bigger fish for 6 pounds, so we proceeded, hoping for the great quality since the price is not cheap. When delivered, it looked like fish has been frozen several times or not fresh, the structure was loose. We didn't even manage it to cut into proper filets as the whole body was just falling apart. Taste was not okay either. Not going to buy again and do NOT recommend. $210 is what we spent on the whole fish and after cooking a few filets, we threw the rest out as the taste and the look were suspicious.

So my fresh seafood order which was shipped overnight on 12/22/2025 from Seattle for next day delivery went to Oakland, Ca. From there it went to Spokane, Wa. Then it went to Moses Lake Wa. It’s now 12/26/2025 and I’m expecting to receive a soggy smelly mess today before 8:00pm so long as it’s not delayed yet a third time. Company states it does not offer refunds during the holidays only reship or store credit. Seems like they’ve experienced such situations many times in the past and passes the blame on shipping. Maybe they should rethink holiday deliveries. Not likely I’m going to need the amount of shellfish I was planning for the holidays anytime soon.

Reggie thanks for helping this Florida tourist out. The selection was fresh, however I found it a bit pricey for my budget; however he worked with me and packed our purchase really well to retain the freshness driving 3 hours away. Check out the tuna steak meal and Rock fish meal. Until next time my friends. To the younger employees inside joke, don't wash away your customers during closing time. 😉

Really disappointing experience. Shipping carrier took days longer than promised, with my fish just sitting in the south somewhere and they told me "it'll be fine." I don't know who's excited about pounds of fresh, delicate seafood languishing in a box somewhere but it's not me. Very disappointed in their handling of this and won't order again.

March 31, 2022 This was my first experience with Pure Food Fish Market. I’m on the east coast of Florida and the 3 times I called to inquire about ordering their Red King Crab Leg and Giant Shrimp Scampi, each time the guys were very Professional, Knowledgeable, and Polite. When I finally ordered, Issac was So Nice to Refund me 15% of my Order amount, since it wouldn’t let me do it Online for my First Order. I placed my Order about 1pm on Thursday afternoon and received my Order Friday morning about 10 am. I was SUPER Impressed with how fast my delivery got to me from the west coast of Seattle, WA. I was also Sooooo Impressed with my Jumbo Red King Crab Legs and those very HUGH JUMBO SHRIMPS. I usually can eat about 8/9 Blue crabs in one setting and come back for the rest a few hours later. But with these Crabs and Shrimps, each of the 3 of us were Only able to eat ONE crab leg and THREE shrimps. We are Seafood Eaters here on the east coast of Florida (Jax), and we were Sooooo Pleased and Satisfied !!! Thanks so much Issac and your great guys for an AMAZING and EXCELLENT experience that I had doing business with you all !!! I will HIGHLY recommend Pure Food Fish Market to all of my friends here in Florida. Job Well Done Guys !!!

I love their smoked salmon and they ship to Hawaii next day which is fantastic! Only spot in pp market that will!

Ordered a month in advance four items for delivery on 12/23. Received three of the four items, missing the mussels. Called the store and the first person told me mussels were out due to recent rain storms, but reminded me i received free shipping. Told me he could refund the mussels. I was frustrated that they didn't call me to say that so he transferred me to a supervisor. The supervisor said they were waiting for customers to call since they were out of mussels. I said it made more sense to have communicated to me they were out. Transferred to third person who also gave attitude that I got free shipping. She said she would go ahead and refund and also claimed she called the day before which would have been after the items shipped. I've purchased from here for number of years in person and will find some place else in the market. The past few times I found the staff to be rude or less helpful than I think is normal. Made no sense they did not email me to say mussels were in short supply, made no sense that i ordered a month in advance and was surprised how they made this long time customer call to figure out why I was missing items in an order.

It's a NO for me. I was visiting Seattle and placed an order for seafood to be shipped back home for me. This is something I had done before while visiting Seattle about 2 years ago, and had no issues so I decided to return. I placed my order early while they were open but still setting up for the day. I asked for the order to arrive the following day (a Friday). I never received any tracking information and the order NEVER arrived. The next day I clicked the link in my emailed receipt, I noticed that the shipping address was a different address than the address that I provided, so I called in an attempt to resolve the matter - I had already paid after all. The person I spoke with apologized, committed to making sure my order would be sent out on Monday and said he would include a half pound of smoked salmon for the inconvenience. The order still was not correct. The trout was supposed to be filleted based on the conversation when I placed the order. I ordered 2 types of salmon and neither was labeled so that I could tell the difference between them. I called and complained, they admitted that the ticket for the order had been placed in the file cabinet as if the order had been sent, and it became very clear that there are internal communication and lack of follow through issues with this business. I will be patronize other businesses in the future when I want to order seafood while visiting Seattle in the future.

I had low expectations of buying crab cakes online, but based on reviews, I thought it worth the risk of such a high price per cake... I added them to a Halibut and Salmon order I was going to make. I am leaving a review here, because the business web site (with great reviews of the crab cakes - a 4.9 rating) does not seem to take reviews?? Unfortunately, the crab cakes came no where close to meeting the low expectation I already had. The 4 & 5 star reviews are either false or the product delivered is totally different. The crab cakes we received were like 90 to 95% cake and 5 to 10% crab.... I am not exaggerating. I expected something close to the restaurant quality crab cakes that Eddie V's serves as an appetizer... a crab cake that is probably 90% fresh crab and easily serves two as an appetizer for $31... and comes with sauce and garnish. Charging $44.50 (plus shipping) for two small, "crab" cakes is really poor. Will not be buying these again, and unfortunately this leaves me with a bad impression of Pure Food Fish Market for the first time in my 40 years of buying from them. Please ditch the items that you know are not of a quality level of the fresh fish you sell to focus on what you really do well. The Halibut and Salmon are great!

First, let me say I'm a strong believer in supporting local businesses. And I'm a big fan of Pike Place Market, the nation's longest continuously operating farmer's market. Sometimes, I let things slide on good will. But when a line is crossed I feel it is my duty to say something. This is the fish monger right by the Athenian restaurant. Today, September 21, 2024, I bought over a pound of King Salmon, and realized at home it had such a strong fishy stench that it never saw the inside of a pot because I had to threw it out. Over $40 straight into the trash. Based on other reviews here I believe it's incompetent inventory management to maximize profits. It's not how to build a base of local, loyal customers. Sadly, I heard that the stand downstream from that location, City Fish Company, is now also owned by Pure Food. Good luck to all but I will cease doing business with this fish monger - there are other choices for fish at this market. Enough said.

Even before a recent trip to Seattle, my partner and I knew about this place thanks to YouTube....and we knew exactly what we wanted to try....their smoked salmon. There's a huge smoker at the ready for samples... What we didn't expect was how magical it was. It brought me back to my childhood days of attending bar/bat mitzvahs and Jewish weddings...this is the kind of smoked salmon talked about for years...and then everyone in the family tries to outdo them when it's their turn to plan an event...but I digress.... We brought some home with us. Pure Food Fish Market packed it up incredibly well and we carried it on the plane. Such a treat to have a bit of Seattle at home! 5 stars! Don't miss this place!

We shop at Pure Food when sending gifts out of state and when buying fish/seafood for ourselves . The staff is friendly and helpful and the everything is always good quality.

I ordered some seafood online. The process was fast and easy. Unfortunately, through no fault of Pure Food Fish Market (the problem was a delay on the part of the shipper) some of my order was damaged and inedlible . I called Pure Food Fish Market to make them aware of the situation and they insisted on making it good. They far exceeded my expectations.

Ordered some Dungenous Crab meat on Dec 2 for Christmas. I did not receive it for Christmas. Day after Christmas I get a message from Fed Ex and Pure Food that my Crab will be delivered today Dec 26, I called the Pike Place number to say I don't need the product the day after Christmas as my family has left and I don't any seafood that's been on a truck for four days. I was told that refunds can't be given, only store credit.... which is useless to a dissatisfied customer who has no plans to order from Pure Foods again - just sayin

We got some smoked salmon samples from the lovely girl working the samples counter. And my husband loved it so much he returned to buy some! Great service, the samples girl is fab!

I purchased some frozen monkfish about 6 weeks ago. Since it was frozen already, I vacuum sealed it and stuck it in our freezer at home. I thawed it to cook yesterday and when I cut open the packaging the smell was horrible. The fish was rancid and since it had been frozen from the time I purchased it, it was rancid at the time of purchase. I contacted Pure Food Fish via email and received a very curt reply saying "Per our terms and conditions you have 14 days from time of purchase to contact us if something is wrong with your seafood. Ive attached a direct link https://www.freshseafood.com/pages/refunds-and-returns" I have purchased from them a number of times in the past but based on this I will not purchase from them again and will not recommend them to anyone.

Pure disappointment for me. As a seafood lover, we eat a lot different stuff but we really enjoy salmon. During my last visit to Seattle, I purchased some smoked salmon from them for my sister which was good. Although the piece we sampled in the store wasn't as salty as the one we received. Since that trip, I have ordered from them twice. The first box arrived damaged and wet. They also didn't cut the order as requested. This last order was for 4 - 1lb pieces of Alaskan King Salmon. Unfortunately, I received a large filet. I also wanted to buy more and add a 1 lb piece of smoked salmon & they require you to order 3 lbs which is rediculous since the box is paid for with extra room and they have 1 lb pieces. When I called and emailed them, they really didn't seem to care and I get inconsistent stories depending on who answers the phone. We have plenty of choices out there to order great seafood, I'm afraid others seem to care about the customer more and also offer special deals.

sold me all end pieces and I purchased 6 lbs of mostly end pieces. called and reported and the manager asked for photos, I sent and he claimed he never received photos of garbage salmon. don't purchase always an issue. I have received spoiled fish over the years. Managers hide behind the phone and rip you off selling butchered pieces as in the photos and almost spoiled smelling as well. Told manager all of this and no response. When there is free shipping, the company ups the prices on the fish as well.

fish I got here had worms in it. so disgusting. Then when I contacted them very rude staff. Guess they have been in business so long quality and service don't matter.

Another 5 stars for Pure Food Fish Market. I ordered 50 lbs of whole Ling Cod last week. Tyler was a fantastic help again. He made sure he had fresh in and made sure it was up to his standards or he wasn't going to ship it. Before finalizing the order, he again called to make sure how I wanted it cut. Everything was shipped on Wednesday and received early morning on Thursday (Seattle to Alabama). Everything was well packed and arrived super cold with frozen jell packs. Everything looked great. We fried a portion up last night and it was OMG. Light texture and not overpowering on smell or taste with 3 different batters we used. If you haven't tried them, give them a try. It is best to call and order to make sure you let them know your desires.

Yeah idk what's up with these other reviews but I've order from them idk how many times over the last 4-5 years but I've never had an issue at all. Great service if you call! lobster was amazing and the scampi shrimp are so damn big they're easily as big as some low end steak house lobsters imo. Their actually lobsters are as big as my forearm (of course you need to order ones these big 2 pounders)

What a fantastic experience and great local store here in the heart of Seattle. New to the area and glad I stopped by to take a look. The shop has that classic pike place feel. The staff was top notch. I had the pleasure to be taken care of by a young gentleman named Willy. He was very professional and knowledgeable. He took great care on helping me make a great selection of fish for my upcoming party. The shop smelled very clean, the fish seemed very fresh, and the staff was just amazing to deal with. Thanks to Willy and the crew I am hooked and will most certainly be getting my fish from them again.

Excellent quality seafood. I usually always stop by to pick up some smoked salmon. It's a wonderful snack when your walking around. Don't be afraid to ask for a sample. That's how they get you hooked.

My cardiologist stressed that I needed to eat more seafood. Not exactly a penance. So having had a positive in-person experience with Pure Food Fish Market several years ago, I placed an online order for 2 pounds of fresh 'first landed' halibut and 3 jumbo whole Dungeness crabs. I placed the order on March 14, knowing the fish would ship March 19, and received notification of shipment on March 20. OK, cool! Then I waited...and waited... I called the store and the staff seemed chapped that I hadn't called sooner, as if them not delivering was my fault. Things got sorted and my purchase was finally delivered for real on March 27. Remember how I ordered 2 pounds of halibut? That would be 32 ounces. I received two 11 ounce bags of fish strips as measured on an O Haus laboratory scale, including the tare weight of the bags themselves. So I only received two thirds of what I paid for. The fish was nothing more than skinny strips which posed a quandary wrt how to cook it with it staying intact. I pan roasted the strips and they did indeed fell apart in the pan. I was hoping for thick halibut fillets but I got a mess. As for the crabs, they were nothing special. Certainly not jumbo as advertised. Maybe 50% larger than a Chesapeake Bay blue crab. Nowhere near as large as the Dungeness available at my local supermarket. All-in-all a pretty pitiful experience. Pure Food Fish Market requested I review this purchase, but (big shock) my review never got published on their website. Pitiful. Avoid.

Helpful people and fairly personable. The smoked salmon is the best I've had. However, I don't think it's appropriate they play music with loud obscenities behind the counter. It's Pike Place Market where families walk by. And if I'm paying a bunch of money for fresh seafood, I want a professional experience. Maybe I'm just getting older but since when is it appropriate to think it's okay to expose your customers to rap music with f@&k and B@&!ch lyrics as I'm paying you money? I hope they thrive but that suggests a lack of respect for the customer.

Came early in the morning and was immediately helped out. Great staff with beautiful views of fresh seafood all around. Came for the smoked salmon and smoked scallops. Both were delicious. Definitely returning when back in the area.

This has been our favorite fish market in Pike Place for about 30 years! We see the same great helpful crew over the years as well. We usually get the amazing smoked salmon that they give samples of. Also we love their wild salmon, prawns & halibut cheeks- all so delicious! We made garlic basil linguine with the prawns last night- so fresh & yummy!

My husband wanted to grill for Father's Day weekend, I remember Pure Food Fish having a great grilling selections that he would could choose from. What stands out the most about Pure Food Fish Market is the customer service, Nale and the entire crew takes a moment to make an interaction with every customer (buying or spectating) feel personable. We met Neal a few weeks ago as we were passing by and even though we were not purchasing he took the time to interact with our boys which made us want to return as customers. Aside from the customer service the selections are top quality cuts, cleaned for free, abundant in variety, and size!! My husband couldn't wait to get home to prep the grill, and was beyond happy with his first meal for the weekend. We will definitely return, and I highly recommend Pure Food Fish Market.

Open during COVID and business was clearly still brisk. Got the standard smoked salmon. Then added smoke mussels and also some salmon skirts. The salmon was still creamy and smoky, but I think it was a bit on the salty side. The mussels were tasty with a bit chew. One of them carried the grit, probably broken off shell, and nearly chipped my tooth. I still like it, but will be careful biting them off. The skirt is not for everyone. They were really like jerky.

The fish markets were about to close, but all the fresh seafood caught our eyes, so we decided to buy some for the graduation party the next day. We got to sample their smoked salmon, which was tasty. The seafood here is really expensive, so we just got a couple of raw giant crab claws and some raw shrimp. We steamed the crab claws and they were delicious and sweet! As for the shrimp, we marinated them with Old Bay seasoning and some other spices, and then grilled them afterwards. The shrimp were very plump and juicy, but didn't have as much flavor as I would have liked. We should probably try a different recipe next time.

I have to come into this market for 10+ years. The smoke salmon is the best around. The taste is delicious and refreshing. The smoke is not too strong and the fish is tender. Today I bought smoked salmon, Alderwood smoked, and some huge grilling prawns. It is always fun To look around the market and watch the men throwing the fish and other places that have their niche. For me, it's pure Food Fish market all the way! The service is wonderful the prices are great. Check it out

Business wasn't as busy as I thought it'd be on a Saturday @ 2pm due to COVID I presume. Came for the smoked salmon! Staff is super nice and ready to help you out. Was intimidated walking in at first but was super worth it. Definitely ask for a sample - they ripped off a solid chunk for me to try out. Was a bit too salty for me, but had a great smoky flavor. Will try to come back again soon :)

It's nice but not nice. Service was nice but not nice at the same time. Came through a couple times, not just once. The sample of smoked salmon you get is delicious. However, Bought some for on the go and it was totally different. Shrimps are good, crabs are good, lobster was okay. If I am paying for a premium..I can't tell. Can't put my finger on it but just feels like I overpaid for seafood and they didn't even cook it. Felt hustled instead of feeling welcomed. I don't mind paying but give me what I paid for. Hopefully will leave a better taste next trip I'm here. 2 stars for free samples and a store that looks like you're on a fishing boat .

I live in UP State N.Y. I ordered and received 6 lbs. of Alaskan King Salmon, 2 lbs. of Alaskan Halibut, and 2 lbs. of Alaskan Spot Shrimp. The order came within 24 hours. The fish was in perfect condition and very fresh. We had the Halibut that night. I made Pan Seared Halibut w lemon butter sause. My wife said it was the best fish she ever had. I am retired Army and my Wife is retired Navy. "Go Army beat Navy." We have both been around the world, and have caught, cleaned and eaten all of these fish. I can tell you that these fish are as fresh as our fish that we caught, cleaned and eaten the same day. Enjoy Everybody.

Great place, great service. They are approved to pack fish for you to carry home on a plane these guys know what they are doing! Stop by!

I hate to do it but I was so disappointed in my delivery. The crab wasn't cleaned well and most were broken. I could have gotten the same quality here in Phoenix AZ. Definitely won't do it again.

Phone order from our home in CA. King Salmon. The product was cut fresh, packed immediately and shipped overnight with a 9am delivery to our doorstep. I just portioned out into individual serving and the fish could not have been fresher. The shipping box was packed with great care with a generous amount of ice packs. Great job fellas.

I ordered a whole salmon for my family's post-vaccination get-together. Ordering online is very simple. The shop even called me the morning of shipment to make sure I wanted it whole and not filleted. It came on time and was super fresh! No fish smell when I took it out of the shipping container. It was fun to arrange a giant salmon so that its face was looking out at whoever opened the refrigerator. I slow-roasted it for an hour and a half and it came out perfectly. You can see my presentation in the picture. The fish tasted delicious! I would absolutely order from PFFM again.

In feel rotten giving Pure Fish a mediocre review, but when four pounds of salmon and halibut cost more than a $100, I expect good stuff. The market was almost empty during the pandemic, and Pure Food Fish wasn't catering to patrons at 11:30 on a Thursday morning, looking decidedly wholesale. I walked in to be noticed, piles of stuff hid me from view, and I was swiftly hustled to an outside corner. Unlike many at the market, every worker at Pure wore masks. I asked for two pounds each of anything he suggested, and he brought two wrapped pieces of fish. My credit card was exchanged, and I walked away with $101 worth of salmon and halibut. Once home, the pin bones needed to be removed. Something I didn't expect to do considering the cost. The salmon was broiled with a little mustard on top. Unfortunately, if it wasn't for the mustard, the seafood would have absolutely no taste. The texture was also kind of mushy/soft. I was so disappointed. I so hope the halibut is better. Next time, I'll try a different fish shop. Maybe the salmon was an anomaly. Halibut, please be good.

Wow, what a disappointment. Was given what seemed to be a very nice gift from a relative. Unfortunately the package arrived with the ice packs melted and the salmon (smoked and raw) nearly room temperature and smelling rancid. Could not reach the company over the holidays, called them shortly after new Years and spoke with an incredibly rude and disinterested person named Willy. Extremely defensive, and seemingly hostile, he told me simply they ship to places everywhere and over the season had only 2 issues so I must be mistaken. That is great news, for the company, but not for me. The fish is not edible and I understand that thing happen in shipping--my hope was simply they would replace it. Instead, the customer service was abysmal. The miserable rep Willy informed me it was "too late", and that regardless their products always arrive in good condition. He refused to accept any responsibility or to offer any assistance at all, rather he just informed I should see their website for their policy and that the company would do nothing. So today we tossed all (a significant order) of the product that arrived from them spoiled. I asked to speak to a manager or owner--he informed me that the owner Carly would call me back but in his words would do nothing to help either. She did not call. So disappointed as I have heard so many good things about the company. My relatives and many friends have had positive experiences with the company previously. Most people, including me, understand that things can happen when sending this type of product. Unfortunately, Willy has made it clear that in "his" view this is our fault, not theirs, and that they would make no accommodation whatsoever. Fortunately the interaction was well documented and the sender will recover their purchase amount from their bank as the product delivered was NOT close to what was advertised. It is a shame to see what seems to be a good business spoiled by this type of customer service.

My favorite place to buy a fish! Definitely worth the drive from Mercer to this shop to pick the most fresh fish and get the best advice and clean and cut the fish the way I like

I bought a delicious Alaskan King crab leg from Pure Food Fish Market and they chopped it up so I could eat it in my hotel room. At $29.99 a pound, this is cheaper than City Fish Co., at $39.99 a pound. Both crab legs were fresh and tasty! Pure food is cheaper and just as good. Chase helped me and he was so friendly and nice. Gave me a sample of smoked salmon too. I'm considering buying some crab legs to take home. Much cheaper than at a restaurant (but of course, no melted butter and side of cous cous). The crab leg I had at Cutters last night was hot, and did not taste as sweet as the crab legs I bought today at Pike Place Market.

I've been coming here since I was a kid. Huge fan of the halibut cheeks. They catch impressive size halibut and its major quality fish. The best stand out (and what they are known for) is the smoked salmon. All the flavors are amazing and it's all year round!!! It's tender and true perfection. The service here is amazing. All the guys here want to actually TALK to you, not just sell you something and move on. This place is where the true locals go to get the best fish.

Smoke salmon and spokes scallop was really good. There are closer to the end of the pike fish market

The smoked salmon was great, and they were open to giving samples which was similar to the other shops around which was good to get a taste of the items before purchasing. Bought a few pounds of smoked salmon here as they had the best price at $48.50 and it appeared to be the same as the Pike Place Fish Market smoked salmon. There were a few items that were questionable, the first is that the employee who grabbed the smoked salmon used their bare hands to grab it to put it into my bag without gloves or anything, it is hard to tell if their hands were clean or not. Secondly, I think this is a tourist trap in a way in that the way that they weighted the smoked salmon was questionable. Essentially what happened was once the employee grabbed the salmon for me, they handed it to the cashier who puts it on the scale for 2 seconds (doesn't let me look at the total price) and then makes up a number and starts wrapping it up while handing me the credit card machine with the stated price and not letting me re-weight it. I believe I was overcharged at least $12 for the smoked salmon making the price per pound way more than $48.50 and way more than the $49.99 at Pike Place Fish Market, guess sometimes when you want to save some money you end up spending more...

Freshness of the fish has been mostly a miss over the past year or so . The last several trips my salmon has been old. Make sure you point out specific pieces you are interested in. The fish today also had a 6 inch black hair on it when I unwrapped it. I always came here to avoid the throwing fish crowd but going forward I'll just head to my local market.

Your classic flea market type vendor, always want your money and more. I wanted to try some fresh shucked oysters and the other stands were closed and these guys wouldn't provide. They did offer some good oysters. They defintiely try to slide in some fees. Guy said he would throw in a shucking knife since I was out of town. Yea right, was getting charged when rung up. Told them to take the knife away, I'll use a fork. But I don't blame them, it's all about the money.

Thieves! $650 for 4 lbs salmon, 2 lobster tails, 5 crab legs and 1/2 pound halibut cheeks

Ordered fish from here online. Got here smelling rancid and not on ice. Called them and talked to. The manager Neil and he was extremely rude and even laughed at me. Never buying from here again

Tried 2 versions of their smoked fish and was just blown away! On our food tour, we were allowed to sample the Alderwood smoked salmon which was meaty and absolutely imbued with smoke flavor. It can certainly be a little intense at first bite, but it really grows on you. Plus, the hot smoke process makes it flakier than traditional cold smoked salmon. While this was really good, our tour guide said that what we should really try is the smoked salmon belly jerky. Now, I've had salmon jerky before but the version I had was dried to almost a leathery state and really not that enjoyable. The version at Pure Food Fish Market is salmon belly that is cut into long meaty strips, cured, then cold smoked. It has a texture that was a hair bit drier than lox but still full of the same tender meatiness. It's salted just right in my opinion and also full of that same smokiness as the hot smoked salmon. We couldn't bare to wait and started snacking on it as soon as we bought it! As we walked around Pike ripping pieces off, it did seem a bit oily which was a minor downside but we didn't experience that as much on the pieces we flew back home. Maybe it had a little more time to dry out? It does lose it's smokiness over time though. I'm looking at it online now...$90 for 2 lbs is nothing to sneeze at but I am definitely considering it...

A wonderful family owned business int he market that has the best price / quality ratio in town. Fantastic shellfish and fish in every season from honest sellers.

Flying up from LA - purchasing seafood isn't the sort of thing I come here to do. It's interesting to walk by and see but I couldn't careless about trying to purchase and ship home. No thanks, don't have time to deal with anything of the sort and I'm just not into seafood at that level. However this trip, the Jumbo Shrimp caught my eye. I purchased a little less than half a dozen to sort of take around town as a snack ;) accompanied with some cocktail sauce I was good to go. Really great idea, when we were stuck in a pretty lengthy wait for some Clam Chowder. Little did I know I'd end up wasting about half :( I really wish I would have just over done it and eaten them all, not tried to save any for later. Don't do that with seafood friends! I thought I would but later tossed what was left instead of putting myself or anyone else through what may have occurred had I eaten them after not being refrigerated for 12 hours. If I lived local, this would probably be a nice spot to occasionally pick up some Chilean Sea Bass from and the scallops looked incredible too. Everything looks great! Just not the sort of thing this here visitor is trying to ship home.

My hubby made sure we stopped here to get his favorite smoked salmon kipper. He spoke about this place for years, so happy to finally stop and take some with us. The crew is polite and made sure we knew that they can ship yummy salmon to us. We loved it here and now we will always purchase our fish from here. Fresh and organic #yummy

Update: both recipients received their shipments. Can't speak to the quality of the packaging/ items received but they got it!
