Wild Salmon Seafood Market


At Wild Salmon Seafood Market – in the Fishermen’s Terminal on the south side of the Ballard Bridge, which is technically Magnolia, but still – you can buy fresh salmon and shellfish directly from the fisherfolk who caught it. The market will also ship fresh fish at reasonable prices.
