Drove onto Seattle and toured the Pike Place Market. Great flower stalls, produce and fish markets. Watched the famous show of throwing fish from the iced bins out front to the clean and fillet guys in back. Had brunch at the Market Grill which was featured on Andrew Zimmer’s Delicious Destinations. I had the salmon sandwhich and chowder & Nancy had the Salmon Platter .
We drove around downtown Seattle after the Market and saw the Space Needle and other attractions. Later we drove to the Rock Creek restaurant in the Fremont area where the kid’s had arranged for us to enjoy a Birthday Dinner. It was fantastic and we shared all the dishes. We had a bottle of Revelry Vinters Chardonnay from Columbia WA and for starters had 2 Kushi Oysters from Deep Bay, BC and 2 Eagle Rock Oysters from Totten Inlet, WA accompanied by an Aquavit Oyster Shooter that had cucumber, ikura and lemon oil. We then shared 4 small dishes of Hawaiian Tombo Tuna Tartare, Barbecued Alaskan Octopus, Oven Roasted Barron Point Oysters and then Point Judith Calamari”Kari Out”. They were all delicious and for dessert had a Chocolate Crunch Profiteroles, chocolate peanut tin roof ice cream, salted caramel. Thank you it was outstanding.
