02 / At the counter
Pike Place counters, Fishermen's Terminal dock sales, and the neighborhood fishmongers in between. This is where Seattle buys its fish.
Fishermen's Terminal in Interbay is the working home port for much of the North Pacific fishing fleet, and two businesses there sell straight off the dock. Loki Fish Company runs dock sales Saturday–Sunday, 10am–4pm, selling wild Alaska and Puget Sound salmon frozen onboard their own gillnetters. Wild Salmon Seafood Market, also at the Terminal, sells Copper River salmon, black cod, Dungeness crab and spot prawns sourced directly from the commercial fleet. Read our full Fishermen's Terminal guide.
