East Anchor Seafood

I live in LA and literally fly into Seattle a few times a year and this is 1st stop for me. The best crab cakes hands down in the PNW....the Cesar dressing is amazing. I spend at least $120 on groceries here. To me it's worth it because it quality. I'm definitely far from rich so I know to budget for when I come here lol. This was the first time I actually ordered hot food and I was pleasantly surprised and now craving the Tuna melt Haha. The lady who cooked the food is definitely a top chef I didn't need to add salt or hot sauce to anything...winning! I will be back

Although they do serve food to eat there, for the most part, this is a neighborhood seafood market. We love the salmon burgers -- there are two varieties, and both are good. With such a small shop, the selection of fish (as in fillets) is fairly limited, but the quality is good. We still go to Mutual Fish, or Wild Salmon when we have need, or Wilson Fish in the Madrona Farmer's Market on Fridays in season, but East Anchor is very handy if we want the fish they have.

Um yum! I just went here to grab a quick lunch and was a little nervous all they'd have was salmon (I'm a weirdo in the northwest who just can't stomach salmon) but was delightfully surprised that had many offerings! I got the shrimp ceviche tostada and it was really yummy. So yummy I didn't catch a picture. I also got Mac salad which has a really fun spicy kick. As I was getting rung up I was confronted with a giant delicious looking chocolate chip cookie so you know that had to come home with me too and boy was it yummy. What a great fun spot. They have a selection of fresh fish and then some gourmet breads, teas, pastas and fun gifts. Check it out. Yum.

Cute little seafood shop in Madrona with outstanding crab cakes to take home and prepare. Prices are too high, but the food is delicious. One thing that makes me take pause about returning is the rude, sullen 20-something women behind the counter. I've been in prior and the people were friendly, but on this Saturday, the service was especially unwelcoming. After spending about $80 for an order, I wanted to peruse the shop, but they sharply suggested I wait outside for my order, using Covid as an excuse, meanwhile I was the only customer in the shop. I could have spent another 50 on vinegars, pastas, and cookbooks, but instead I was kicked out to wait for my order on the street. To those women, a big FU. Side note, they have a big friendly dog hanging out behind the counter, not sure that's per city codes, but whatever.

Such a great and convenient spot in "downtown " Madrona. Delicious and upscale delicacies to grab for a last-minute (masked) gathering with a few (socially-distanced) friends. Terrific, friendly service.

OMG... Thursday Seafood Curry Soup... seriously best soup ever. Definitely homemade. Asked for +bread and the sweet girl grilled and garlic salted a beautiful hunk of baguette... perfection with the soup. Plus a cute little fish market with fresh fish & hostess style gifts. Good music and lively atmosphere. Just go! Love! Thank you!

Enjoyed this flavorful squash and pecan winter salad at this very cute, very small boutique seafood counter & gourmet market in Madrona. It looked small but actually ended up being filling enough for a very quick lunch, so don't be deterred by the appearance! I love small markets like this but I do have a couple disclaimers about the shop: *Staff seem too preoccupied to render personal and friendly service. I didn't get greeted upon entering even though they have an open seafood counter that's pretty much half their shop.*I initially was interested in their special-of-day written on the chalkboard, only to find out at check out that it's $30 for a small specialty crab burger I understand high quality foods come with a cost. I also understand that to have a retail space in Madrona during a pandemic costs a more than a fortune... But.... I just couldn't get over the fact that they didn't put the price point up on the board. And that once they gave me the price and my jaw dropped they just brushed it off like "oh yeah, people in this neighborhood can afford that". I feel like the least they could have done was suggest an alternative option instead of me walking sadly to the fridge to fetch this salad.This shop is so cute and has such awesome things, but this experience just put a damper on how I feel about them. Is it just me, or is service in the food/beverage industry declining since the pandemic? Does wearing a mask make things less personal? Do service people see guests as just a body? I miss the days of smiling people across the counter who are actually happy to impart their knowledge on food products they carry and are more than happy to walk you through the store belong you find great things to try.

Good selection of fresh seafood. The seafood Curry was a standout. Only down is limited seating

Solid food, especially the specials. The grilled salmon sandwich and halibut burger are exceptional, though they are only sometimes on the menu. The salmon cake sandwiches are pretty good, though often salty.You can order online, but they accept ZERO changes. I tried calling to request a change for an allergy, but they rudely said they only take orders online. There's room to improve in terms of customer service.

Great customer service, cute place, melt in your mouth food. All around great place! We got salmon burger and tuna melt, soooo yum.
