Cozy Restaurant Serves The 'Best Seafood' In Washington

There's something inherently magical about seafood -- more so the irresistible taste and texture you can't experience with other meats. Shrimp, fish, crab, lobster, and other delectable dishes are so good, that you can find a seafood joint in just about every U.S. city or town. While coastal destinations are bound to have top-tier catches, every state has that one eatery that captures the nation's attention with delicious menu items and unique concepts.

24/7 Tempo revealed the best seafood restaurant in every state. The website used lists, ratings, and reviews from various websites to determine their picks, which include fine-dining spots, no-frills establishments, and acclaimed restaurants.

The Walrus and the Carpenter was crowned Washington State's top seafood restaurant! This eatery aims to provide a relaxing space to enjoy some downright tasty seafood, including several kinds of raw oysters and several amazing dishes. Writers explained what makes it so good:

“With a wide selection of local oysters and house cocktails, this fishing-pub-meets-new-American restaurant is a popular spot in Ballard for post-work meet-ups. Customer favorites include fried oysters with cilantro aïoli and grilled sardines. No reservations means that it can be hard to get a table, so show up on the early side or be ready to wait.”

You can find this restaurant at 4743 Ballard Ave NW in Seattle. Keep in mind that their menu changes daily.
