"A self-proclaimed “shellfish deli,” the Capitol Hill outpost of this PNW bivalve institution is the Hill’s definitive seafood destination. It’s the place to be if you’re looking for oysters, especially on weekdays between 2 and 4 p.m., when they’re $2.50 each during happy hour. This is a great spot to initiate out-of-towners in the ways of Seattle seafood; the Salish Sampler includes a dozen oysters, half a Dungeness crab, rockfish ceviche, a can of smoked oysters, and the crown jewel, an order of geoduck sashimi. On cold days, when slurping bivalves off shells may not be appealing, try the chowder, which is peppery and warm and fishy rather than creamy — isn’t that what you want out of a fish soup?" - Sophie Grossman
