"Welcome to The White Swan Public House, where there’s a toddler throwing french fries at their mom on your left and a picnic table full of Sperry catalog models on your right. The patio at this Amazon-adjacent seafood shack in South Lake Union is perfect for a casual dinner, especially if you decide to shove every document off of your desk and leave work two hours to make the Happy Hour that starts at 3pm. Once you get here, fish and chips are yours for the taking." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
"The smart move is to visit this Lake Union spot after the sun goes down. You won’t have to wait for a table, the water looks even more beautiful lit up by party boats and booze cruises drifting by, and if you’re lucky, an otter might glide past. The oysters here are great, served with an array of sauces in little droppers that make the whole thing like a rhubarb-infused mignonette science experiment." - kayla sager riley, gabe guarente, aimee rizzo
"This outdoor counter on Lake Union is one of our favorite spots for seafood, and an order of their fish and chips is no exception. The breading on their cod is light and delicate but has a great texture from plenty of cornmeal, and their fries are thin and well-salted. And while we really miss how they used to serve them tossed in fresh dill alongside a pickle mayo, their classic tartar is terrific." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
"So you want some quality seafood without spending too much, and you still want to eat it in a nice space worthy of out-of-town guests or a date. Also, the sun is out. For this specific scenario, we give you a specific solution: The White Swan Public House. We love their warm-weather stand on Lake Union, complete with a pretty patio lined with picnic tables and string lights. It works well for oysters and champagne along with some fish and chips and a beer." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"Whether we want fresh oysters or fish and chips, White Swan Public House is one of our preferred places for seafood of all forms. And while we admit that Lake Union doesn’t look as magical when the sky is gray and misty, it’s still nice to spend some time by the water while also avoiding water." - aimee rizzo
