When it comes to seafood, Washington State is a formidable force. Washington has some of the freshest seafood in the world because of its position on the pristine fishing grounds of the northern Pacific Ocean. There are many seafood restaurants in the fishing culture. Below are the state's top 5!
Pike Place Chowder
There is award-winning clam chowder and other specialty chowders at Pike Place Chowder. Besides the Chinese menu, the Japanese and Mandarin options are also available. There are plenty of choices here if you want traditional chowder or Asian cuisine.
The mission of Larry Mellum is to prepare and serve great chowders with the best quality ingredients such as fresh oysters, farm vegetables, fresh milk, and perfectly balanced seasonings. In the meantime, Michelle Trulson set out tools and condiments while Larry prepped and simmered. In the morning air, Larry's doubts vanished as the briny scent of seafood and herbs filled the air. Eventually, there were queues around the block as chowder-lovers arrived - in groups of two or three, then in ever-growing numbers. It was Chef Dario Guerra who took the kitchen over a few months later. Fourteen years later, the chowders continue to be popular, and the team remains the same.
