About this restaurant

  • Charming

    We've been going to Shucker's now for many years - it is definitely one of Seattle's finest seafood restaurants. We enjoy the old-school setting, and the super fresh seafood that is always prepared just perfectly. Don't let the online menu fool you - there is always a "fresh sheet" on the wall, which features various "catch of the day" options that are simply grilled and served with vegetables. They have a nice, approachable wine list, great cocktails and the appetizers can also be made into a meal. Great spot.

    We enjoyed our experience at Shuckers. We of course had oysters and they had good.flavor. we also had the calamari which was also tasty lightly breaded. My wife had the Crab Louie Salad with fresh greens and nice chunks of crab. I had the tempura Halibut and fries, the restaurant's version of fish and chips and thr crust was light and tasty and the Halibut cooked just right, not dry. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was fun. Would.go.back on another visit

    Exceptional caesar salad, fried oysters and scallops special! Our server was attentive and fun. Busy with customers on a weeknight is always a good sign.
