SEAFOOD in SEATTLE! || [Waterfront, Seattle] Fresh Oysters, Crab Legs, Fish & Chips and Salmon!

[@pnw_element9822]

Welcome to the Pacific Northwest ya my home thanks for visiting as I visit ur islands every year

[@scotkamimae2531]

Great choice going to Elliott's! The sun sets early during Winter. If you come in July the sun sets at 9:00. The best crab is Dungeness. Get the whole crab and eat the "kane miso". One thing you should eat on a cold day at Elliott's is the cioppino. Great Italian style seafood soup. Hot and full of shellfish, crab, cod and veggies. I'm glad you got to go to Ivar's. Next trip, try feeding frys to the seagulls.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo for the suggestions!

[@libbypetersen3523]

My husband used to work in the building above Elliott's--the views were distracting! Def. a great choice for oysters & the sunset. Kumamotos are an all-time favorite, and agree with other commenters that I hope you find some Dungeness crab while here or in Vancouver. It is a local specialty--we have come to love it more than lobster. Thanks again for sharing your trip!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Wish we knew about the Dungeness crab! Sounds amazing 🤤

[@DaSharedVideos]

Welcome to Seattle. Boeing hired me when I graduated from UH back in 1980. Started work just before Mount Saint Helens erupted and blew its top. Nice to see you enjoying the waterfront and pier scene. Looks like you had a great sunset. 🌈🤙

[@AmandaFelixEats]

It was beautiful!

[@glennnanod3160]

I used to live across the Puget Sound near Bainbridge Island back in the 80s. I loved the Sea Food. I ate Fish and Chips at Ivars many times, but in those days it was s Rustic looking area. We used the Seattle Ferry to get into town and Ivars was close. Ivars was always such a Scenic location with wonderful food. Such memories. Mahalo and Aloha. 🥲🤙🤙

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Glad you enjoyed this one! 🤙

[@christinaalameda6206]

Thank You Amanda and Filex want to try everything Yummy Ono. Luscious Beautiful Seattle, LOVE GOD Bless Aloha Sister Chrissy Honolulu Hi😘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘💜💙🌿

[@janejay8119]

A tip from a local; if you want to eat crab, buy it at Pike Place Market and eat it at home or in a park. Its much cheaper that way. Dungeness is my favorite, followed closely by King.

[@ceceyangg]

Every time I watch you two I feel like I'm on vacation, lol!

[@russellsmith1048]

I love their reaction to the taste of the food and their complete honesty .

[@PNWeucGamer23]

So glad to see you guys food adventuring Seattle. I’m from Seattle and thoroughly enjoying these Seattle videos

[@AmandaFelixEats]

That means a lot! Mahalo! 🙏🤙

[@tj-kv6vr]

you did a great job avoiding the homeless and their tents

[@hulamamma5330]

I live in Orange County and Seattle is a short flight; never been, but after watching this series, I'm planning on a trip in September. You made it look so easy to take the train to downtown. I'm generally a solo traveler and I love seafood. Really been enjoying these vlogs

[@AmandaFelixEats]

The transportation system is fairly easy! Plenty of things to eat/see! We're so excited for you! 😬

[@MarkyMarkyMarkk]

I’ll be there at The end of sept

[@mzjeannine]

Really loving your Seattle tour! I see that you two went to Dick's Burgers on Broadway and Hotcakes! I was also going to mention those two places. I can't wait for the next video! Hopefully you guys check out the views from the Space Needle. You should come back during our summer!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Can’t wait for you to see our next video! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@jessicakrucina2174]

Mignonette is a very common thing you will find across Seattle when ordering oysters. My favorite oysters in the area are Taylors Kumamoto and Shigoku. I get them from Taylor farms up in Chuckanut, very cool place to visit in the summer. The area produces a lot of melon flavored oysters, which I prefer over the briny flavors.

[@gabrielagallegos1656]

Thank you guys! I am from Guadalajara Mex. and my boyfriend and I are going to Seattle on a cruise to Alaska, we will spend 3 days before and after the cruise trip and this video helped me a lot to assess the food places we must pay a visit. Ivars is on the top of the list and I wanted to ask which month of the year you guys visited. Thanks for the video and with you all the best with the channel, which btw I already suscribed. xo!

[@garymad3362]

Great video and great spots! I used to work at Ivar's, brings back memories (back then we got free meals). Hopefully next time you will have a car and can experience some small mom and pop shops throughout the area. The Alki area has great seafood places of all price ranges, and Ballard also has kind of restaurant row of high end places.

[@code10garage94]

Miss Seattle!!…Crab Pot was my favorite!👍🏼…Aloha🤙🏽

[@AmandaFelixEats]

We wanted to try crab pot! Next time for sure! 👍

[@thedogmother2105]

Glad you are both enjoying Seattle. This video made me smile. Next trip, venture out of Seattle and visit the rest of WA! I’m a transplant from HI and have lived in WA for over 20 years. The summers here are mostly amazing (unless we’re having a 90°+ heatwave). Looking forward to your next adventure!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

We definitely need to be back for a longer and more in-depth trip!! Mahalo🤙🏻

[@dman2509]

Next time hit up Pink Door, Taylor Shellfish, Seattle Fish Guys

[@rebeccarhoten8591]

Omggggg I am so jealous 😂..... seafood is my favorite ❤

[@AmandaFelixEats]

It was for sure amazing seafood 😂

[@808wanchans]

The way you ate the crab makes me want some, but the cod fish sticks looked the best!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Wish we could have buffet of those crab legs 🤤🤤🤤

[@jeannewalling4593]

I had the clams, fish and chips tonight. Ivars in Federal way WA

[@harleydy]

I wish we had an Ivar's Fish Bar in Hawaii! I love fish 'n chips, clam strips and chowder! Seattle looks like a great time...minus the cold. brrrrrrr....

[@AmandaFelixEats]

The cold was bearable during the day but nighttime got pretty chilly! Still enjoyed all that seafood in the cold 🤤

[@Ragnarok043]

you should look for some Dungeness Crabs, theyre around $4.99 per pound right now in Northern California so im guessing its about the same price up in Seattle. saw them at Costco fully cooked around $20 for 3 whole crabs

[@JonASpringer]

Those fried clams have been a favorite of mine since I was a toddler. Next time you're in Seattle, get the red chowder. That's the original chowder recipe served at Ivar's. I don't go for that new fangled white chowder they've been serving.

[@SirKentSaid]

While you guys were here, you should've tried ETTA's BIG MOUNTAIN BBQ. It is owned by Tom Douglas and has THE BEST salmon burger on the planet! Also known for the seafood they offer, which is changed seasonally if not weekly. They are so knowledgeable about seafood that if you ask for a certain type, they will ask you from what region and type you want.

[@cmoney619]

So fun and fresh content!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo! 🤙

[@jayhaynes8092]

THe pnw crabs are the best , you should try a dungeoness crab

[@AmandaFelixEats]

For sure! 👍

[@jayhaynes8092]

@AmandaFelixEats the Ivars fish bar in the u district is gorgeous. They do larger servings than the walk-up window, too

[@jayhaynes8092]

@AmandaFelixEats I would have gone in to buy a bowl of their pnw chowder with the salmon,crab, and oysters. It's fantastic

[@SeanNewhouse-mv9ez]

Wanna try adding even like worcester or soy sauce to fish it sounds like itd be very good I like to add enough lemon and vinegar and esp sea salt to make the flavors pop! Garlic butter good with crab legs

[@RogueCorps]

Looks so good guys! Hope you enjoyed the Mainland!

[@carolinemccray6139]

Such a beautiful couple. I so enjoyed your vlog and subscribed. I'll be in Seattle on the 28th of this month headed to Alaska!!! So very excited.

[@TheMarxist70]

Olympia oysters are my fav. They’re tiny avou5 the size of a silver dollar. And interestingly enough are the only oysters native native to the Pacific Northwest. The rest of been imported from Asia and transplanted into our waters. Taylor shellfish give you a great education on the history of oysters if you’re interested

[@GaryleeJohnson]

Aloha and Namaste 🙏🏽 I was born in Seattle. Hawaii feels like home. Elliot's is great. KC"S seafood in Renton is the most fantastic Chinese food in the PNW. Oysters in Ginger and Green Onion sauce is Da Bomb. In Vancouver, Stepho's on Davie Street is Da Place. A Big Mahalo to you for checking out Seatown even in Da Cold.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

It was a gem of a day!🤤 mahalo Garylee!

[@xnonsuchx]

I work right across the street from Eliot’s, so get waterfront foods pretty often. I usually get the Cajun-spiced cod at Ivar’s. Not a clam fan, so I also sometimes get their smoked salmon chowder instead of clam.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Wow those sound amazing! We love Cajun crusted fish and smoked salmon chowder 🤯 wow!

[@lyssaraia2363]

You had me at Seafood!!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Seafood!!🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@lylecastillo748]

Snow crab species Bairdi (Bear-Dye)

[@Moaisonfrankofficial]

I recommend Dungeness crab on your next visit 😊

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Definitely!

[@edmundfreeman7203]

Get Dungeness drab if you get a chance

[@AmandaFelixEats]

For sure! 👍

[@RT-xj7el]

Next time get the Dungeness crab. Way better than Snow crab.

[@paulchezkari6952]

I appreciate all the close-ups 🤣🤣😂

[@AmandaFelixEats]

😬👍

[@LeilanisTastyMeal]

My Grandkids would want me just to go and order coffee there ( Amanda ) lol 😂 so can watch the robot 🤖 lol 😂

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Haha the robot is definitely an attraction!

[@ChaiMeiLan]

No Dungeness crab? 🦀

[@jonathanrkauhako5863]

The clam chowder from Ivars is unreals and they have a salmon chowder

[@AmandaFelixEats]

If only we had more room! 🤤

[@jonathanrkauhako5863]

Hahahaha

[@everett894]

I miss Ivars more than I miss my family lol… Always home

[@krisstusrud6965]

Those Fanny Bay oysters are from Canada, specifically Vancouver island which is known as Canada’s Hawaii due to its beautiful weather. Glad you enjoyed your trip!!!

[@MarkCMoran]

Nice video! I haven't been to Elliot's in at least 30 or 40 years. Nice walk down memory lane. My dad is a HUGE Ivar's fan. He used to fly up from California just to eat at Ivar's, and then fly back down the same day. lol. It's not the /best/ fish and chips in the world, but definitely the best fast food fish place you'll probably find. (Oh .. and it is pronounced like "divers" as opposed to "die-VARs". Although, I never really thought about how the spelling is totally not like it sounds.) Did you guys get to ride the ferry? Even just a quick ride over to Bainbridge Island is worth it. It's so nice to ride on it and just enjoy the scenery. I used to go do a bunch of back and forth rides on the ferry (same price as a one-way if you don't get off the boat) and just meditate while looking out at the water and mountains. Can't wait for the next one!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Elliot’s and Ivars was so bomb🤤💯 we wish our stomachs & wallets could’ve eaten more! Lol we wish we knew about all the ferries could’ve caught it during this awesome sunset!

[@edwincheung7528]

What's the address of Ivar's Fish Bar? Can't find it on Google...

[@hobbyscow1536]

Ivor's clam chowder is the best clam chowder in Seattle in my opinion

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Ivan’s was onolicious 🤤🤙🏻

[@teresjustforshow]

Hi Amanda and Felix, love your tip to the main land. I have a question, what’s a place for oysters in Waikiki?

[@666tubedragon666]

you guys are bomb...glad i stumbled upon you...Mahalo

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo for the kindness🤙🏻

[@samuelkim8959]

I’ve seen Robot cocktail servers but Coffee baristas that’s another level right there. Great technology but the human factor just gives a better interaction. Those oysters looked fire especially the Kumamoto oysters. I wonder if it’s just me better with just simple lemon, Tabasco and onion lol.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Love the simple lemon with oysters🤤

[@carolelisan910]

Seattle was where I grew up Ivan’s clam chowder is wonderful

[@AmandaFelixEats]

🤤

[@djricaric]

Kumamotos are definitely the ones. So good. Glad y’all got some fresh oysters in the 206!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Delicious! 🤤

[@violetwheatley2381]

I like my oysters fresh oysters barbecued in the shell till they open then eat it's delicious and I am in Oregon. We love our sea food also. The sea food looks delicious. 😋

[@AmandaFelixEats]

🤤

[@MadStatter]

You chose right on the salmon and next time you come to Puget Sound gotta get the Dungeness crab! Eating Ivar's on that pier is SO ICONIC! I'm so happy you checked it out! Anthony Bourdain was a huge fan of Ivar's clam chowder.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

We're definitely coming back for more!

[@MadStatter]

@Amanda & Felix Eats Super stoked Seattle is vibing just right. Prolly can get Dungeness Crab in BC too. Look for it if can!

[@keithfreitas2983]

Maybe going to Seattle to visit my sister in May. Will try to visit all those places you're going to again. Mahalos for the food tour.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo for watching Keith! Excited for your trip!

[@jakekronberg219]

Alaska takes its salmon VERY seriously. If you ever make it to Alaska, you have to try the Salmon there.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

We definitely have to make it out there one day! 🤤

[@titasmom678]

So glad you got a chance to try oysters and fried seafood. I could "literally" taste that sweet crab, but I know it's nothing to what you actually tasted. Yummy!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

It was so delicious! We loved it! 🤤

[@kivlogs7812]

Loved this seafood tour! I have yet to try any kind of oyster 😝 Glad I watched this video, so I don’t eat it wrong 😅 Can’t go wrong with some crab legs too! ❤

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Definitely give it a try! The garnishes/ sauces make them more palatable as well! And yes, can't go wrong with crab legs!

[@brendamclean8447]

Great vlog guys!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo! 🤙

[@brendalea1606]

I live in Alaska and I love King Crabs... but you picked great crab as well. I have a freezer full of halibut, have you tried it? I like it better than cod but it can be expensive. i wonder who cleans up after the robot??

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Halibut is good too! Can't beat crab though 🤤

[@spang931]

This might seem weird, but I actually prefer the crab bodies. You could take all the legs, I'll be happy with the body. The meat to me is more tender and flavorful. Anyway, that coffee place was very intriguing! It's a harbinger of things to come!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Love the body meat also!! Some people just throw it out 🤯 lol

[@spang931]

@@AmandaFelixEats Years ago when Don Quijote was Daiei, they used to sell just the crab bodies for cheap! Like a lot of "rubbish" food, they became delicacies, like aku bone. Fish places used to give them away. Now they are pupu delicacies (and expensive)!

[@toddmokiao1039]

Felix and Amanda, thank you for sharing. Glad you folks had a terrific time. Seattle has alot of fun and good places to see. I was stationed at Fort Lewis, Washington United States Army and I had my share of good sea food.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Their seafood is on another level🤤

[@Keliiyamashita]

I ate at Eliott’s! Super expensive! 💰 But it’s really nice eating outside. Next trip take the ferry from Seattle to Bainbridge. Choke good spots to eat over there. And the beauty of the island is mesmerizing!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Definitely on our list for the next trip! 👍

[@hvnguyen510]

Next time ya need to get the whole Ca Nuong at Ranier BBQ restaurant (Vietnamese restaurant)

[@Numberseventee]

Glad ya enjoy the sea foods#70

[@AmandaFelixEats]

🤤

[@haileyjoe8580]

I’m glad you enjoyed yourself in Seattle but yes venture out I’m from Washington and it would of been awesome to show you guys around my tribe and enjoy the great seafood we have on our lands

[@deborahschaub2925]

Aloha from the 14 side of Waikiki since Thursday last week. See you sometime I’m sure. Aloha, Deb

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Aloha Deb! 👋

[@PeterChan-z3v]

Waterfall water log cover very fresh but

[@rbbr5393]

You should have done the halibut

[@lylecastillo748]

Fish and Chips are English in origin where french fries are known as chips. Usually eaten with malt vinegar.

[@kojiho604]

try Kusshi for oysters, very good too. do not go for keta salmon, that is chum.... not the most prized salmon. if you eat salmon, go with King (Chinook), or sockeye, or coho even. if you ever have the chance, get copper river coho or sockeye. If you're in Seattle or Vancouver, go for Dungeness. when you're in Vancouver, you should try local sea urchin, so good from colder waters.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

We love kusshi oysters when it's available! 🤤

[@raybaker8726]

Ivars is a great place. The chowder is awesome

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Such a great spot🤤🙌🏼

[@gailsiangco5599]

Wow ! The Oysters look so delicious ! I Love Fish & Chips ! Onolicious ! Enjoy & have fun you two !!!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Gotta love those oysters 🤤🤤🤤

[@audii5]

Still upset Ivars isn’t in the Sea-Tac airport anymore

[@edmondmoy9060]

Desserts next? Try the Hood Famous Ube cheesecake, cafe on 5th in the International District, or Uwajimaya. Cakes of Paradise for Hawaiian bakery in Georgetown. Kauai Family Restaurant next door for Hawaiian food. The food is better in Vancouver BC. Only because there is more restuarants, more competition, if it's not good, they're gone. Only thing bad about Vancouver... watch out for the left turns...

[@AmandaFelixEats]

We ran out of time but will definitely be back!

[@boomertuber8878]

Def know how you guys feel about being on a budget when traveling! Would love to see a video about budget travel in Oahu! THANKS

[@leilareggie1826]

Ivar's is the Best and Most Consistent...kind of like a Zippy's...always fresh, affordable and fried fish is frankly better than most restaurants...know how you like fried food Felix.

[@PH-tv2sw]

They used to have happy hours and each oyster are fifty cents and every hour they would increase it by 25 cents. Our favorite family diner.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

What a deal!!!🤤🤤🤤

I’ve been living in Seattle this long and never went to that cafe! Omg!! I’m gonna go next week! Good seafood selection! I love Elliot’s! So good!! One of my fave oyster places next to taylor shellfish, and in ocean shores.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

We wanted to try Taylor’s too!! Mahalo🤙🏻

[@wightdeath]

Did you guys get to try dungeness crab? Definitely one of the best options from our state

[@uniotter2662]

OMG, I have never envied you more after watching a video than this one! 🤤 I love seafood and am just craving it after seeing you enjoy those oysters, crab, clams, and fish and chips. Trying to figure out where I can get that locally! 🤣 Going now to check out the next adventure....thanks as always for taking us along with you! 🥰

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Freshest seafood! 🤤

[@rznante]

Appreciate how you keep things real. Felix feels the need to apologize about the lighting? I appreciate the real, almost like sitting across the table from you perspective. We love going to Seattle.Haven’t been to Elliot’s, but Cutters is great…. Crab Pot is fabulous. Ivars was freaking great! Keep it up guys! We love the watching you enjoy those great restaurants! Mike and Marnie

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo Mike & Marnie! Crab pot was on our list but we got too full 😅 those seafood dishes were quite filling 🤤 so delicious!

[@sillygeek1]

Best thing, no ants or monkey pod trees

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Haha for real! 👌

[@katherineyanagihara2909]

Aloha 🌺🥰

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Aloha Katherine! 👋

[@armandovalenzuelaiii]

It’s crazy how they had to make robots make your coffee because the snobby kids that work at most coffee shops can’t greet you, spell your name correctly on the cup, or get your order correct. The fresh oysters looked amazing! That’s one seafood I haven’t had in Hawaii 😢. The salmon and crab also looked ONO! 🦀🐟 The noises you made while eating crab made me have to turn down the volume on the television. The fast food seafood shop looked legit with the beautiful sunset. 🌅 You guys are the best! I would love to travel with you. Mahalo Foodie Ohana…another vlog gem! 🤙🏽🏔️🍱

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Big mahaloz Armando!🙌🏼 this was a magical seafood feast 🤤🤙🏻

[@CoggieCarol]

Yes! Elliott's! That would've been my seafood recommendation. I used to go all the time when my mom visited from Hawaii. My favorites were Kumamotos. I never ate main entrees, just stuck to the chowders and the raw oysters. When I first tasted the champagne mignonette, I never wanted any other raw oyster condiments. And yes, the King crab legs are the best in Seattle.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

They were the best! So good!

[@paulafriedmanalohafrommaryland]

Aloha Amanda & Felix. The seafood looked delicious! I love crab (king is my favorite) I normally go for the legs, but the claw has a lot of meat as well. The fried clams you ate look like the large strips, very meaty! The best are the whole belly clams you find in New England. What a beautiful sunset, so happy you caught that on camera.

[@123cetaphil]

Really enjoying “ Amanda and Felix Eat Abroad” series❤❤❤ Looks like u had an amazing time eating in Seattle! Can’t wait to see your Canada series!!! Loved the AI coffee place too! Great job!!! Keep up the great episodes!!! Mahalo!!!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo for the kind words on our first travel Vlog series! Truly appreciate it🥰❤️

[@jz4057]

I live here. It’s’ not that magical. I’m surprised people in a first world country never seen a robot coffee maker before, lol. Would it blow your mind if i tell you there are also robots cooks, bartenders and even third world countries have them, for years already. Pike market is a tourist trap, so are the first Starbucks, their flagship store and most of the food joints around that spot.

[@jamminj8822]

Great video. Come back during the summer, the weather is beautiful, and make time to go up the mountains. Crystal Mtn. has a gondola that runs in the summer as well, and there is a restaurant top of the mtn. Touristy but worth it just for the experience.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

We will definitely be back!

[@alishamaryleerichardson-go2106]

You guys make me go to the Seattle right now, I am in LA 😂😂😂. I had some Ivar's clam chowders and fish & chips before but not at Elliot's. I almost cried when you guys were drinking the oysters😁😁😁. Thanks for sharing food memories.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo for watching! 🤙

[@JandT98086]

My grandma used to take me down to Ivar’s back in the mid to late 1960’s when I was a kid, great memories. Just for your awareness, they have one inside Sea-Tac airport if you want more before you fly home.

Looks like a great cold adventure… the seafood looks absolutely delicious Enjoy and Amanda get a warm hat 🎩

We love the cold weather! ❤️
