Description:
DOWNTOWN. The downtown crowd has plenty to choose from when it comes to restaurants, but the options narrow when the subject of "the best oysters in town" is broached. This Seattle standby holds its own in the face of myriad newbies that have popped up over the years. Clubby and suave in an old-fashioned way, Shuckers takes oysters seriously, whether steamed, pan-fried, or just plain raw. For those who don't dig shucking, options like beer-battered fish and chips, seared ahi tuna with wasabi salad, fried calamari, and the signature Northwest seafood chowder are wise bets. |

Description:
DOWNTOWN. As popular a bar as it is a seafood restaurant, this neighborhood eatery is regularly filled with patrons. The interior – a study in brass, glass, and sleek wood – is warm, inviting, and as clean-lined as a yacht cabin. The seafood served is impeccably fresh, and the menu changes daily. Over 25 fresh catches are available, and whole lobster is a constant bargain. M&S also has one of the best oyster stews in the city, along with icy martinis and a great wine list. |

Description:
DOWNTOWN. This once-tiny restaurant, greatly expanded in 2007, offers incredible views of the Market and beyond, courtesy of huge, semicircular windows. Flawless seafood is the name of the game, and it's collected fresh from vendors below. Oyster sandwiches, often eaten at the counter, are much-coveted at lunch, and dinner calls forth such delicacies as tortilla-crusted Alaskan halibut, pan-roasted wild salmon, and mussels steamed with chorizo, charmoula, and cava. In the evenings, the atmosphere is candlelit and romantic, although tables are at a premium. Don't leave without treating yourself to the chocolate pot de crème, a signature dessert that's a perfect ending to the fantastic cuisine. |

Description:
BELLTOWN. True to its handle, this waterfront establishment serves views of bustling Elliott Bay along with its oysters – more than 30 varieties. From the outside, Elliott's looks like little more than a shack, but the interior is cozy enough to accommodate lots of folks, especially if a laid-back, casual meal is on the slate. If you're on your own, sidle up to the 21-foot oyster bar for convivial dining. Menu highlights include the aforementioned oysters (prepared just about any way imaginable), crab, lobster, and more. Excellent wine list, too. |

BELLTOWN. Colorful and airy, this trendy restaurant draws inspiration from Asia as it works magic on fresh seafood.
