Description

Seattle Fish Guys is a "gleaming, upscale" fish market and restaurant in Seattle's Central District, according to The Seattle Times . [1] The business operates in the "nondescript" Verse Seattle building at the intersection of 23rd and Jackson. [2] [3] It has sold bivalves (including mussels), [4] clam chowder, [5] crab and shrimp cocktails, fish, poke, [6] and smoked lox. Ingredients in bowls include kimchi, macaroni salad, octopus, brown or white rice, salmon, seaweed salad, and tuna. [7] The crab rolls (or Dungeness crab "subs") [8] have Japanese mayonnaise, Sriracha, and scallions on a toasted bun. [9] The restaurant's aioli has garlic. [10]

Seattle Fish Guys also stocks flowers and spice rubs, [11] and has created take-home meal kits for special occasions; one for Lunar New Year included steamed black cod with black bean sauce and mochi donuts. [12]

History

Co-owners Desiree Chinn and Sal Panelo opened Seattle Fish Guys in 2016. [3] [13] [14] The restaurant's grand opening celebration was held on September 4, [15] [16] and featured free samples and a mussel eating contest. [17]

Reception

The magazine Seattle Metropolitan says of Seattle Fish Guys: "One of the Central District's favorite destinations for a convivial lunch is also an after-work godsend for picking up dinner." [2] Aimee Rizzo of The Infatuation said of the poke in 2020, "Between the soy-marinated tuna, spicy salmon, furikake rice, and smoky macaroni salad, this is a bowl that's better than the sum of its parts—even though each part is excellent." [18] She and Kayla Sager-Riley included Seattle Fish Guys in a 2023 overview of the city's best poke [19] and a 2024 overview of the city's best seafood. [20] In 2023, the South Seattle Emerald said the shop was among chef J. Kenji López-Alt's favorite South End eateries. [21]

Alyssa Therrien included the business in the Daily Hive 's 2021 list of Seattle's "most poppin'" poke establishments, [22] and Megan Hill included Seattle Fish Guys in Eater Seattle 's 2022 overview of fifteen "great places" to eat in the Central District. [5] Noms Magazine ranked the business eighth in a 2023 list of Seattle's thirteen best seafood restaurants, and recommended the crab sub, the idako (marinated baby octopus), and the poke bowl. [23] Allecia Vermillion included the restaurant in Seattle Metropolitan's 2024 overview of the city's best seafood. [24]
