Emmet Watson’s

There was a crusty old journalist/columnist at the Seattle Post-Intelligencer named Emmet Watson, who loved good food. He opened his own little place, hidden down in the Pike Place Market, back behind a lot of other shops. It even has a small outdoor eating area for the summer months. If you want some of Seattle’s best, most authentic northwest seafood, this is where you head. He isn’t around anymore, but his small restaurant still is, and worth a trip to the market.

  2. Good point, Error! Jesus, in Mark 7: 15 – 23 declares all food clean (15 “there is nothing that enters a man from outside which can defile him; but the things that come out of him, those are the things that defile a man”) which allows us to enhance that clam chowder with a little bacon, it just tastes good!

    But not everyone puts bacon in chowder – you can always ask! I am willing to bet that the ciopinno, above, didn’t have any pork in it. Nor my husband’s sea captain’s basket! There are a lot of things on the menu that are pork-free. 🙂

  3. That, along with the Pike St. Market, look like pure heaven to me. Thanks for sharing these pictures!
