Description:
Seattle's Fishermen's Terminal, the winter home of the large Alaska fishing fleet, is just across the Lake Washington Ship Canal from the Ballard neighborhood. Overlooking all of the moored commercial fishing boats is one of Seattle's favorite seafood restaurants, a big, casual, boisterous place with walls of windows looking out onto the marina. With a long menu featuring seafood fresh off the boats, this place tries to have a little something for everyone. However, my recommendation is to go for the alder-plank-roasted salmon, with maybe some oyster stew to start things off.
The only real problem with Chinook's is that it isn't very easy to reach. Take Elliott Avenue north from the downtown waterfront, continue north on 15th Avenue West, take the last exit before crossing the Ballard Bridge, and follow the signs to Fishermen's Terminal. Before or after a meal, you can stroll around the marina and have a look at all the fishing boats.
