Many Seattleites aren’t averse to making a trip up to Edmonds specifically to sample the wonderful seafood at this highly acclaimed restaurant and fishmonger. The Maine-style lobster and Dungeness crab rolls are terrific, stuffed with succulent meat, poached with garlic brown butter, and topped with Old Bay aoli.

This spot in Fremont started as a pop-up in Pike Place Market four years ago, and is standing out in a crowded Seattle seafood pack through intense quality control. Dungeness crabs are sourced from trusted local vendors and meticulously cracked onsite, then topped with a drizzle of lemon and just the right amount of mayo.

South Lake Union’s East Coast-inclined restaurant serves up different styles of both lobster rolls: with mayo (Maine), butter (Connecticut), and the slightly more elaborate New England version, with fixins such as celery and chive. Its owner is from the Northeast originally, so the restaurant is precise with such regional distinctions.

After starting up in 2020, this buzzy new pop-up has set up a semi-permanent residency at Capitol Hill restaurantVermillion, with excellent Maine lobster and crab rolls as s the focus. It’s open for takeout only for now, butaims to add sit-down service in May or June, once bars are allowed to host diners in a greater capacity.

As the name indicates, people usually come to this Post Alley classic (with a location at Pacific Center) for the creamy clam-based soups. But there are plenty of other top-notch items on the menu, including Dungeness crab and lobster rolls, served either warm or cold. The spot alsonow has an appfor online ordering.

In terms of quality and seafood portion, it doesn’t get much better than this weekend pop-up from theHeigh Connects Food Group(co-owners of famed poke chain Sam Choy’s). The lobster and crab rolls are generously portioned, well-seasoned, served on nicely toasted rolls, and there are even some crispy lobster tots. Open for takeout service only, but there’s a small patio outside the ordering window. Next pop-up dates for preordering are TBD.

Though many may flock to this spot for the delightfully crispy fish and chips, that dish is just the beginning. The delightful offerings extend to the plump King crab rolls (available Saturdays), and the lobster rolls served on buttered and toasted brioche buns, with tartar sauce made onsite and minced bell pepper and celery.
