On the central waterfront we like Elliott's and the Bell Street Diner (downstairs from the pricier Anthony's but just as good IMO.) In West Seattle Salty's view is good enough to outweigh their good-but-not-great food. I don't much like Cutter's but understand its appeal.

On Lake Union Chandler's is okay, but the sushi at I ((L)) Sushi is also very good (it's seafood too.)

Ray's Cafe at Shilshole is still the gold standard for us, but Anthony's is also pretty good. Not convenient for downtown, of course.

Our favorite company's-in-town place for affordable food, interesting view, and the ability to walk around a bit afterward, though, is Chinook's at Fishermen's Terminal. Good for breakfast too, way cheaper than Salty's brunches.

If a view is not essential, some of the best seafood in the city is to be had in the ID/Chinatown.

The Six Seven is a gorgeous restaurant with excellent views of Elliott Bay. There is a small outdoor patio area where you are literally right above the water. :)

Salty's on Alki Beach is also good with pretty views from the outdoor patio area. Love the coconut prawns here! ***kim*** ((f))

Six Seven is one of the most expensive places to get seafood in Seattle. Not saying it isn't delightful (I wouldn't know since I can't afford it) but your hardly need to pay 40 bucks for a piece of broiled fish, to enjoy a seafood dinner in Seattle.

As long as it's been, that broiled fish was probably only $25 when kimamom was there, suze. ;-)

***kim*** dear, how do you bear it?

In the early 70s I took my mother to brunch in the space now occupied by Six Seven. It was a magnificent spread, and the view was fabulous. The cost couldn't have been much more than $4.95 each, because I couldn't have afforded much more than that.

Anybody remember those brunches? ***kim***?

ah heck i was a cocktail waitress at the bar in the Edgewater for a brief stint in the early 80's.

For Seattle people: friends went to Steelhead the other day and were very unhappy-- very cold airvent above their table, and at 7.30 they were out of oysters and all their fish entrees except salmon (and we ALL cook salmon at home, don't eat it out).

I didn't think Steelhead Diner was much of a seafood joint, really. There were only a few fishy items on the menu, and that included a catfish and fish and chips. Excellent desserts, though. :@)

Steelhead is new-ish and felt to me like it was still getting its "sea-legs" when I was in there for lunch recently.

I've never seen so many waiters in ratio to tables/customers, but the service wasn't that great.

My food was delicious though (rare steak w/ mashed potatoes, cranberry something, crispy onion-ettes on top). Great bread basket.

Any chance that Steelhead is related to the Steelhead in Eugene, OR?

Don't think so but here's the website:

Thanks Suze. I'll mention to DH as a brunch possible.

Can't remember. Are you by chance the Fodor's Suze who went to Normandy last May?

I agree with "suze" about Edgewater..I feel the prices are way out of line for what you get---minature servings !!My(2)"jumbo" crab cakes were size of dollar coin..
It is gourmet food however I'd rather spread my food money around the area..
I know the following is NOT noted for its seafood--but the view is great...
The Sunshine Cafe in Pikes Place Market..one level downand, very casual (bus your dishes), overlooks the whole Bay..
Great breakfasts,good service--lunches-usually 3 kinds soup-one vegetarian. I wish I were there now with a big bowl of oatmeal with cream and brown sugar and raisins...watching the ferries on the bay...

hopingtotravel, nope, not me. i live in Seattle with most recent travels to Mexico and Hawaii.

Sorry, looked back, I think it was sue4.

PS, Mexico and Hawaii are not bad!

no kidding ;-)
