I never had it until I moved to Seattle, so if you haven’t heard of it make sure to give it a try! I love the geoduck butter dish at Shiro’s, a sushi restaurant in downtown Seattle. Geoduck is a shellfish that’s basically like a monster clam with a sea slug-looking thing hanging out of its shell. Salmon and crab are our most obvious gifts to the world, but we also have a ton of geoduck. Oysters are in their own category, but Seattle has access to some of the best fish and shellfish in the US. If The Walrus and the Carpenter isn’t in the cards, other good options for oysters include Westward or White Swan Public House for views of Lake Union, Vinnie’s Raw Bar for a convenient downtown location, and Bar Melusine for Renee’s Capitol Hill oyster spot. Make sure to get there right for 4 pm so you can get the first seating or use their online waitlist if it’s available (sometimes it goes offline). They host a happy hour from 4-6 pm Monday – Thursday, which is worth going to because the oysters are cheaper. It’s a beautifully-designed French restaurant owned by James Beard-winning restaurateur, Renee Erickson. My favorite place to get oysters is The Walrus and the Carpenter. Keep an eye out for their name on restaurant menus around town (including Taylor Shellfish’s very own Seattle restaurants). If you’re looking for a foodie adventure that makes a great day trip from Seattle. Some of the most popular producers are Hama Hama Oysters and Taylor Shellfish Farms, both of which offer farm tours out on the coast. Washington farms the most oysters in the US, so getting this famous food in Seattle is a must.
