• Are you looking for "whole" meaning in-the-round? Or just a whole side/fillet? If you want an entire fish you're going to have to go to the ID and it'll probably be hit or miss in the small markets. For a side I'd check farmers markets this weekend, but you're more likely to find smoked salmon than white fish- although black cod is your best shot around here. RM answered in Food & Drink 15 days ago | Report 1 0 6 comments by Dan Williams, RM, and Dan Williams… What do you mean by in-the-round? By whole I mean an entire fish or at least a side. I am pretty sure I will just have to take what I can get at Uwajimaya but I was hoping that someone might have a good alternative option. Dan Williams commented 15 days ago | Report In-the-round means the whole damn thing. Head, tail, guts, everything. "Whole fish". I work for a seafood wholesaler, and I used to work for a smokery (mostly salmon and halibut) and it's damn near impossible to find a whole side of smoked white fish in the NW. From my coworker: "Whole sides of white fish are not popular. But how large are you talking? If large, you could start with Jensen's. Beyond that, a Kosher smoke house would be my next guess." www.jensenssmokehouse.com RM commented 15 days ago | Report Thanks for the insider lingo! ;-) I can deal with head, tail, and fins but prefer the guts to be gone before I bring it home.Good info, I will check out that website. I figured whole sides would be easiest but in the end it is just going to be flaked and put in a salad. I will check out that website. Dan Williams commented 15 days ago | Report Was just informed from someone else that Ballard Market sometimes has sides. RM commented 15 days ago | Report Awesome, thanks again. Dan Williams commented 15 days ago | Report I agree that Jensen's is worth a shot. lijohy commented 12 days ago | Report Enter a comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit

  Try I Love New York Deli. They, for sure, have smoked whitefish salad, which, when I saw it, made me drool till I had the sandwich containing it getting chomped on inside my mouth. I think I saw some pieces of smoked whole fish/fillets in their deli case. Call 'em. 2 locations. Roosevelt just north of Scarecrow, and in the Market. http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/i-love-new-york-deli/Location?oid=1934269 Kevin answered in Food & Drink 15 days ago | Report 1 0 1 comment by Dan Williams… Thanks!
