    Pure Food Fish

    Perhaps the gift that says ‘I heart Seattle’ the most is a whole salmon or other fresh seafood from the fish markets. All the markets will prepare fish for transportation on the plane ride home, or you can just call and have them take care of the overnight shipping; Pure Food Fish has the best reputation locally for quality and value.

    DeLaurenti’s

    DeLaurenti’s is a mandatory market stop for the Italian chef or continental food enthusiast. Not only is there a stunning selection of cheese, sausages, hams and pasta, but there’s also the largest selection of capers, olive oil and anchovies that you’re likely to find this side of Genoa. The wine selection is also quite broad.
