Seattle Crab Co.
Summary
Would we go there again: Yes
Not a bad place to get your seafood fix. We were both quite pleased with the taste of the food, and the general level of service. The price was a bit steep for what they give you, but it is still worth going to.

Tim's Comments: I enjoyed the food here, though I wasn't terribly impressed with the portions. I think that would really be my only complaint is that I didn't feel I was getting very much for my money. Also, something I thought was funny is that one of Jeni's comments after our meal was "it was better than Skipper's." I later found out that this restaurant is owned by Skippers.
Jeni's Comments: I had never had real crab before. I really liked it! Like Tim said, the portions could have been bigger, but they weren't tiny. The fried clams are probably the same things they serve at Skipper's. My favorite part of the meal was the crab fettuccine. The coffee was decent too. =)
