While in Seattle and looking for an inviting and cozy seafood experience, look no further than Shucker’s, located within the Fairmont Olympic Hotel (see). Warm, rich wood paneling encases the dining room which sports an authentic tin roof left over from its days as a haberdashery. This is a place for seafood lovers, with dishes like applewood smoked salmon, garlic and rosemary roasted Dungeness crab with roasted potatoes. For dessert, black and white mud pie is a sure bet. But Shucker’s earned its name and favored reputation from its wide selection of oysters—thirteen at last count. They can be prepared a myriad of ways including house-smoked, baked, Olympic, Rockefeller, Kilpatrick, Provencal, pan-fried, barbeque, or half shell.
