“take home or enjoy at the seafood bar”
Jack Mathers is a Seattle native who hasn't minded the fish scales on his hands (and on his shoes, and in his truck, and all over his house) for the past twenty-five years. After working on fishing boats in Alaska and in fish processing plants, he started Jack's Fish Spot in Seattle's Madison Park. His first grass-roots marketing effort was a door-to-door campaign, featuring a coupon for fresh Dungeness crab at two dollars a pound. The Spot later moved to historic Pike Place Market where Jack has been daily since 1982. Today Jack's Fish Spot is a bustling scene of crab pots, shellfish tanks, and salmon on ice. The Spot features the best in Northwest seafood delicacies - Dungeness Crab, Littleneck or Manila Clams, Sockeye, King, and Silver Salmon, Quilcene Oysters, Halibut, and Penn Cove Mussels, to name a few. After customers have selected their seafood to take home, they can swing around back to enjoy the seafood bar, where Jack has put together a sensational menu including fish n' chips, steamed clams and mussels, Northwest-style clam chowder, cioppino, and seafood cocktails topped with a generous dollop of Jack's special spicy cocktail sauce. All the seafood for the menu comes straight off the ice and into Jack's special recipes. Despite all the oceanic chaos, customers are likely to have Jack himself weigh their clams, filet their salmon, offer serving suggestions, or help select a piece of his alder-smoked salmon, the only fish smoked right at Pike Place Market.
Was in Seattle and really wanted some fish and fries. I was surprised when I went to market place and I didn't see that many spots on this. I notice people coming here and decided to give it a go.... Read more
This place had one of the best salmon in Seattle. The salmon is fresh, soft, and has lots of flavors. Their salmon is delicious, but all the other food here was gross. The fries were very soggy... Read more
We chose to grab lunch at Jack's this weekend while we were at Pike Place because there were a lot of people in line so we thought it must be good. Unfortunately, we were wrong and Jack's Fish... Read more
