Taylor Shelfish Farms, which opened it's doors in Capitol Hill on July 21, 2011, was a great addition to Melrose Market.
What a lot of people are just getting turned on to is the fact that you not only can buy a selection of fresh oysters, clams and the ever perplexing goeduck, but it's also a great spot for lunch & or maybe even a light dinner.
I stopped in not too long ago to chat with Tom Stocks, assistant manager, and got a dozen hand selected and shucked oysters and fantastic glass of wine. They also have one or two daily made chowders.
The space is simple and pristine. I'm sure it's one of the tidiest seafood shops in town.
They have a great selection and it's easily accessible.
And this is the geoduck - native to the northwest cost of the US and Canada.
Did you know? The geoduck was once the focal point of a hot little campaign in 1987. It was revealed in U.S. News and World Report that "the Geoduck is threatened with extinction due to a voracious international appetite for aphrodisiacs." In fact, The Seattle Times featured a few articles about this campaign to "Save the Geoducks."
Later they were let in on the joke. It turns out it was all just a well executed prank.
Taylor Shellfish also had a great selection of Dry Soda.
I didn't waste any time.
Next time you're in Capitol Hill, stop in!
