The Fresh Fish

I came here Fathers Day weekend to get King Salmon.I called several days in advance to check availability, and I was told they'd have a fresh shipment coming in a certain day, at a certain time.I called the day of, and sure enough, they had it in.My FIL said it was better than any restaurant, and the best cut/salmon he's ever had. Ever. In his life. He also said it was pretty darn fresh haha.This place is going to be my go to for fresh fish. And we came all the way from Bothell!! It's more than worth it! Pricing great too!Customer service is wonderful too!

I used to like this place, but the staff aren't being safe during COVID. I saw one them with a mask pulled down while working with the fish in the case and breathing all over it.I lost my appetite and left.

Poor customer service and a rip-off! Ask for a certain weight of fish... they always go over and don't ask if it's okay. Plenty of other businesses that have better service and product!

My kids went in on a whim after we picked up some pastries at Larsen's. This is small market with a nice curated selection of seafood. I just got home and tried the smoked black cod - and I have to tell you my dudes that it was fantastic. Really well done - some of the best I've had. The mistake many people make when smoking white fish is that they over salt it - and in the smoker that gets intensified. The salt here was perfect - it tasted deliciously smoky. Really top notch. Will return.

This quaint fish shop has a great selection of seafood but the cioppino here is a MUST. I came for a visit from California and my host insisted we come here. I am still thinking about that bowl of hot cioppino that the young lady behind the counter so graciously topped with a generous amount fresh crab. The quality of fish is also top notch. We grabbed a few variations to cook that evening and it tasted straight from the pier. Pay em a visit. You won't be disappointed.

Has tuna poke and sashimi grade tuna. The lady at the counter is very nice. I'd return when I crave some simple sashimi.

The gentleman behind the counter provided good insight on what he believed was the best part of the salmon. He suggested the tail because it was boneless and got crispier. They also had some samples that were tasty. Good service and good products!

Great place been going for years. If I started my own fishmonger store I would come here ask the owner for her business plan. Moved out of Ballard but when I visit I come here and the place next door. The fish co has the best potato salad like better than your gramma. beautiful seafood well appointed produce section and Wine at decent prices. Heck go in here and walk out with a whole date worthy meal..well save dessert which is why we go next door too.QuinmsterHonest

Really good selection and a good price too. Guy at the counter was super friendly. Got the smoked salmon collar and it was amazing. Also got some mussels and needed white wine so I just picked up a bottle that was sitting out so front of the case and OMG the wine they selected was so good and matched the mussels perfectly. The mussels were fresh and only one was broken, and I think it's because I washed them a little too aggressively . When I cooked them they all opened and tasted amazing.

It's hard to fathom how Ballard's karma caused us to be blessed with both The Fresh Fish Co. and Beast and Cleaver right next store. Fancy a pastry or dessert? Then you've got Larsen's right there, too. Three awesome specialty stores, all in a row.The Fresh Fish Co. has a wonderful assortment of seafoods. Razor clams, lobster tails the size of a baseball bat, various salmon varieties, glorious fish filets and shellfish. My three favorite items here are the shrimp cakes, the creamed herring and the homemade poke. The potato salad and pasta salad with shrimp are also on point.You're gonna have a great meal if you shop for it here. Count on it.
