  6 0 The best place, hands down, to buy local oysters is the Taylor Shellfish Farms new retail store on Capitol Hill! It's located at 1521 Melrose Ave. in the Melrose Market building between Pike & Pine. There's a large variety of oysters, plus manila clams, Mediterranean mussels, geoduck, live scallops, Dungeness crab, and Maine lobster. Hot oyster stew and geoduck chowder as well! There is no other store like this in Seattle. Stop by and have some oysters and a glass of wine, then choose your fresh shellfish to prepare at home. Nothing better!

Do they have awesome dungeness crab there? I like them big and fat. michiko swiggs commented 5 months ago | Report 1 0 Yes, the Dungeness crab are huge now, sweet and fat! We had some that were over three pounds the other day. They're coming in from Nisqually Reach in south sound. GO! Oyster Bill commented 5 months ago | Report 0 0 Yay, you're my hero! michiko swiggs commented 5 months ago | Report 1 0 I second Taylor! They also have delicious mussels at a very reasonable price. We got 3 pounds the other day and it was more than enough for our main dinner course for a family of 4. Marty Unger commented 5 months ago | Report 0 0 Hey Oyster Bill, the oyster and crab are for christmas dinner. You think it would fine to pick them up tomorrow or should i wait until saturday? michiko swiggs commented 5 months ago | Report 1 0 They should have a pretty good supply coming in tomorrow for the weekend. I would go in on Friday and select what you want, maybe even leave a deposit, and they can hold your order for you in the live tanks until you pick them up on Saturday. Oyster Bill commented 5 months ago | Report 2 0 This has been the best year I have ever seen for Dungies on Puget Sound. And I don't even think the Coastal season has really gotten underway yet. It was delayed, until late December and the fishermen usually strike until the processors give a higher price, so the coastal stuff probably isn't in stock yet, but when it starts coming it should be off the hook soundslikepuget commented 5 months ago | Report 0 0 soundslikepuget, that is exciting news, Dungeness is my favorite food ever! Oyster Bill, thanks for the tip. michiko swiggs commented 5 months ago | Report 0 0 Yeah I just confirmed with my boyfriend in Westport, the coastal fishermen haven't even started yet. There should be even more Dungies on the market soon. Enjoy! soundslikepuget commented 5 months ago | Report 0 0 PS - Great answer Oyster Bill, thanks for the info. I did not know this shop existed in the city! soundslikepuget commented 5 months ago | Report 0 0 Just wanted to report back to you guys... the dungeness was phoenomenal! Seriously, one of the best I've ever had. That guy was huge and so sweet. And the shigoku oysters were amazing--new favorite! This is going to be a great winter for my tummy :p michiko swiggs commented 5 months ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.
