Come to Salty’s waterfront locations for our “Be Shellfish, Eat Me” Festival and pay homage to crustaceans by feasting on mouthwatering prawns, shrimp and lobster. Yes, prawns are a local fish! Wild spot prawns are especially prized and you’ll want to watch your local fish market to get first dibs.
“Just for the Halibut” Festival (May-June)
The catch is coming in! That means it’s time for our Hippoglossus Stenolopis festival! Hippo, what? It’s easier just to call it halibut. And, you can call our halibut fabulous during our “Just for the Halibut” Festival. Salty’s spring halibut festival kicks up its tail starting in early spring and you and your friends can enjoy it through summer at all our waterfront Salty’s Seafood Grills.

From May through September, you and your friends can come in and enjoy wild salmon fresh from the greatest rivers and inlets of Alaska and the Pacific Northwest.
“Aw Shucks” Amorous Oysters and Bivalves Festival (October-November)
The end of summer comes with one consolation – fall and Salty’s “Aw Shucks!” Amorous Oysters and Bivalves Festival. Gourmet food lovers come to Salty’s to celebrate their favorite aphrodisiac – oysters! Pacific oysters, Kumamoto oysters, European Flat oysters, and Olympia oysters all make an appearance during our annual festival.
“Magical March of the Nutcrackers” Festival (December)
Although seafood is our greatest love, we know you like meat and offer you USDA steaks and other meaty dishes too, especially in winter. Speaking of other protein, turkey is in the spotlight on Thanksgiving and we sell out for our renowned Thanksgiving event far in advance, but offer our VIP Email List members advance reservation notice (sign up for Salty’s VIP Email List today). Salty’s nutcrackers were the stars of Salty’s appearance in the annual My Macy’s Holiday Parades held the day after Thanksgiving every year. These giant nutcrackers were wheeled in formation by the Salty’s team in both the downtown Seattle and Portland parades. You can come take your pictures with them during the holiday season at all our locations.
