This is a cool and authentic place where you see real fish being sold to real people.
Obviously plenty of tourists are watching the fish throwing game but it remains a lively place not designed for tourists
Visited the Market two days. There are so many great places to shop and what a show at the Fish Vendors. Beautiful flowers, fresh foods and unique shops to wonder thru.
Other than saying you have been to the market or paying for the food tour which has entertaining food guides this market is crowded with terrible parking in the area, fish that does not look as fresh as other venues and is way overpriced. They had great produce vendors that were minimally used. There are specialty items like the cheeses maker. The Starbucks line for the original Starbucks that wasn’t is almost comical. The local farmers markets in Seattle have amazing local food and produce. If you are looking for food go there. If you are looking to feel like you are in a place where a startup food or clothing company was for an ethereal experience it may be psychologically worth it.
If they don't have it, you likely don't need it! I don't remember seeing so many different things for sale in one location! It was a delight just to walk through and see!
Had to see this place in person. Have seen this fish market on TV several times. This is so much fun watching the fish tossing when someone purchases fish. Very good fish market with so many fresh caught various species. You can get purchase FedEx on dry ice to your home. Tried the shrimp cocktail and was delicious.
