Item Description

Whether you pan-fry, grill, saute, stir-fry, poach, steam, bake, or broil it, there's no better fish than the fish one gets in Seattle. The vast majority of it comes from sustainable fisheries (rated "best choices" by the Monterey Bay Aquarium), many in Alaska; the boats are based in Seattle and the fish is fresh and wonderful. A local specialty is alder-smoked salmon.

Kitsap River lives in the Pacific Northwest, just west of Seattle, and has been doing business with City Fish since 1998. It's her first choice fishmonger out of the many in Seattle. City Fish is expert at selecting the best fish from local and Alaskan fisheries and can tell you how the fish was caught, and where, before you buy; if sustainability is important to you, City Fish is the place to buy fish (although they do sell some "bad choice" fish as well, their main business is in sustainable fish). They're also experts in shipping fish to you so that it arrives as fresh-tasting and delicious as when it left Seattle; you'll get it overnight, packed in dry ice. Choose today; cook tomorrow - but you have to win this auction first, so bid liberally!

The auction is for a $150.00 gift certificate from City Fish and you may select anything you want for that; it will cover your shipping, too, and City Fish's owner Jon Daniels can help put together a true Northwest Sampler for you if you can't decide which of its delicious offerings to try. Some of the tempting treats on offer:

  • Pacific Salmon (choose between rich King salmon, delightful Coho salmon, or flavorful Sockeye salmon), either fresh or smoked
  • Pacific Halibut (unlike Atlantic halibut, which is rated "avoid this", Pacific halibut is rated "choose this")
  • Alaska Spot Prawns
  • Washington Dungeness Crabs
  • When in season, amazing Copper River Salmon, rated the best in the world for good reason; you can even get a couple of cedar grilling planks thrown in for a true Taste of the Northwest experience
  • Razor or Geoduck Clams
  • Canadian Pink Singing Sea Scallops
  • Much, much more!
