Just this last week, The Seattle Times shined a spotlight on Duke Moscrip, Seattle’s unsung hero for fish and foodies alike.

But Duke doesn’t only search for the best seafood, (already a difficult task). The Duke’s Chowder House brand strives to be the best and then, challenges itself to become better still.
Just last year, Duke’s was voted Best Seafood Restaurant in Seattle by KING5’s The Best of Western Washington viewers. In addition, and more recently, Duke’s grabbed a trifecta of titles from 425 Magazine for Best Restaurant, Best Lunch, and Best Happy Hour.
