090523 with Betty

Sister Betty took a detour from her business trip to spend some quality time here during the Memorial weekend. We didn’t plan anything big, just having good food and hanging out. She was so much fun to be around.

Per her request, we went to Crab Pot on Pier 57. We arrived early but were told we had to wait at least 45 minutes to be seated. Seattlelites and tourists filled up the hallway outside the restaurant.

We had 2 orders of seafood to share between the 3 of us. That turned out to be just the right amount of food. While we were waiting for our seafood, we had some pretty good sourdough bread. Then our giant bucket of seafood arrived – crabs, clams, mussels, oysters, shrimp in the shell, halibut and salmon skewer, corn cob, potatoes…. We sampled each ingredient and were amazed how fresh and tender they were. Steam was really the best way to truly taste the freshness.

It didn’t take us long to finish tableful of food. What a fun meal. I can’t believe all these years reside in Seattle, I waited this long to try out Crab Pot. I’ll certainly come back here whenever I have serious crave for fresh seafood.

Betty headed to LA on Monday morning, left us with fond memory and delicious snacks from Taiwan that will feed us for a very long time.
