"This Alki fish and chips shop closes annually during winter, but usually flicks their neon open sign back on in February, right as our toes start to collectively unthaw. The lightly battered cod is flaky and buttery like a Pillsbury biscuit while meaty fried oysters get sprinkled with Greek spices and a lemon wedge that add a nice zest. If the fried stuff isn't your jam, get the fishkabob—which is not only fun to say, but delicious with chunks of juicy halibut, prawns, peppers, and onions all stamped with char marks from the grill." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
"Alki comes alive in the summer, and Sunfish is committed to the bit. Once the temperature consistently creeps above 65 degrees, people pack in here for excellent fried oysters, flaky cod and fries, and lemony calamari. You can enjoy it all just steps from Seattle’s version of a beach (mostly rocks, grass, and a miniature Statue of Liberty)." - gabe guarente, kayla sager riley, aimee rizzo
"For exceptional oysters dredged in cornmeal and deep-fried, there’s Sunfish and only Sunfish. At this Seattle summer institution, you can snack on meaty fried oysters brightened with lemon, while enjoying one of the best views of Alki. Just be sure to take advantage while you can—the place hibernates once the weather gets cold." - kayla sager riley, gabe guarente, aimee rizzo
"There are few things more West Seattle than pouring Alki beach sand out of your shoes as a roller skater in a Speedo whizzes by. Sunfish is one of those things. This seafood shop closes over most of the winter, but comes alive once the temperatures get above 65 degrees. Their fish and chips are fantastic, and while you’re here, squeeze a lemon wedge over meaty Greek-spiced fried oysters for a perfect post-sun snack." - gabe guarente, aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"There are few things more West Seattle than pouring Alki Beach sand out of your shoes just as a roller skater in a Speedo whizzes by. Sunfish is one of those things. This Alki fish and chips shop closes annually during winter, but usually flicks their neon open sign back on sometime in February, right as our toes just barely start to collectively unthaw. And much like a drunk outburst from Andy Cohen on New Year's Eve, everyone looks forward to it. While you’re here, squeeze a lemon wedge over flaky battered cod and meaty Greek-spiced fried oysters." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
