Alki beach spot known for best great prices, classic fish 'n' chips amid minimal decor, patio seating & ocean views. They have the best clam chowder home made and hot, great on a rainy day with the view of Alki beach and the sound. The best fish and chips place on Alki (sorry Spuds). The Greeks that run and own it are great and have been for decades. I highly recommend the Sunfish Special which is basically a grilled halibut skewer with onions and peppers. This place is CASH ONLY and do not take cards, unless it has changed in the past few months. Sunfish has the best fried shrimp I've ever tasted, hands down." Must See Place if you love fish and Chips!!

Consistently excellent pizza. Fairly deep with loads of ingredients right to the crust. They don't skimp on ingredients and the pies are sizeable. Keep in mind all the pizzas are kind of exeptional" (think cured meats and sausages with fresh toppings). Service has always been very accommodating and friendly. Location is awesome for the view. Within walking distance from your stay!My favorite is the House (TOM's) SPECIAL Mushrooms, Green Peppers, Olives, Onions, Feta and Mozzarella Cheese, Fresh Garlic, Diced Tomatoes, Spinach, Sunflower Seeds and Topped with Shredded Pepperoni Small - $18.00Medium - $22.75Large - $28.00 YUM!

Seattle SEAFAIR Pirates. A blast of black smoke and the smell of gunpowder fill the air as a seasoned crew of scallywags and swashbucklers storm your way! It's a high-humored heist by the Seattle SEAFAIR Pirates. The Pirates, originally members of the Washington State Press Club's Ale & Quail Society, banded together in 1949 to promote Seattle and Seafair while having fun and serving the community. Despite their bad-guy image, the Pirates make dozens of appearances annually to hospitals and nursing homes. During the height of Seattle's SEAFAIR Celebration, they land on Alki around 1:30pm July 8th 2017. Must See!
