Ivar Haglund opened his first "fish bar" in 1938. It became so popular that there are now more than 25 "fish bar" locations in the Pacific Northwest and that doesn't include the 3 full service restaurants which have variants of the Ivar's name.
One beautiful afternoon we had taken the free downtown bus to Pioneer Square, but decided to walk several blocks to the bayfront to see the cruise ships steaming out of the bay. In attempting to get a better view we walked all the way down to Pier 54 on Alaskan Way. While there we decided to try some of Ivar's specialities at the Ivar's Fish Bar there. The take-out window was busy but the service very fast. We took our little lunch to some outside tables next to the building where we enjoyed the sun, the breeze off the water and a spectacular view. The whole thing seemed a little reminiscent of a seaside resort and the food was good and hot.
Ivar's has many seafood & chips combo platters to go such as fish & chips, salmon, halibut, scallops, clams and of course, clam chowder which run from about $6.50 for regular fish & chips to halibut & chips which is about $10.00. The portions are medium-sized but enough to satisfy most people. I ordered the fried clams & chips--very tasty! My husband tried the fish & chips which was very good too. Soft drinks were $1.19, bottled waters & juices were $1.99 making most meals less than $10 per person. I think there were children-size meals there too!
For 42 years Ivar's has been sponsoring the 4th of July celebration fireworks in Seattle. The event is known as "4th of Jul~Ivar's" and takes place at Seattle's waterfront on Elliott Bay. So if you are ever in Seattle on the 4th of July, don't miss the fireworks show!! Fireworks go off about 10 p.m. Leave a Comment Theme: SeafoodPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than averageAddress: Pier 54, Waterfront,Seattle - TEL: (206) 624 6852Directions: Many Fish Bar locations in the Pacific Northwest and some in California.

Ivar's has a string of restaurants in the Seattle area, everything from fish 'n' chip / chowder houses to high-end dining.
Ivar's Salmon House is a delightful mid-priced, full service restaurant at the top of Lake Union, overlooking the lake and the City of Seattle. The decor is native american - with totem poles, kayaks, and even old photos of native americans from the area.
We had an appetizer consisting of grilled brie, roasted garlic, pesto and tomatoes that was outstanding!
The BBQ Salmon sandwich was tasty, as well. (Cooked on a BBQ, not doused in BBQ sauce.)
Prices are for lunch.

I don't know if this place has gone too commercial, but for the price, you couldn't beat their clam strips. There is an indoor Ivar's, and an outdoor pick-up stand that has an attached covered (and heated) eating area.
The only dish I tried was the clam strips, and they were pretty good, but maybe a little commercialized I guess. Their fries were good, and they have a special sauce that is tasty too.

Ivars is one of the best seafood places around. The restaurant sits right on a pier at Elliot Bay. There are two restaurants available, one a sit-down place with more spendy prices, but the other is a walk up fish n' chips bar.
On a clear day you can look out over the water and see the snow capped mountains of the Cascades. Beautiful view!
The food there is delicious!! If you're a seafood lover you need to go there. Their clam chowders, red and white, are probably the best thing on the menu next to their clam strips.

After a day of seeing the sights, we hungrily stumbled upon Ivar’s on the waterfront, next to the Ferry Terminal. Ivar’s offered a splendid view of the water and a nice atmosphere. They served great seafood dishes. I would return.

Great seafood in a fairly informal dining setting. This place is famous in Seattle, so you're sure to find some tourists here. However, the seafood is very good. And the view, if you get a window, is kind of neat... you can watch the ferry load and unload, or watch the tons of seagulls right below. However, if you go here, you MUST get some clam chowder. I'm disappointed I didn't get more than just a cup of this! It's the best clam chowder I've ever had (even better, I think, than some I had in New England)!

The city's colorful waterfront at Pier 54 provides a scenic backdrop for this attractive yet informal restaurant where you'll dine on Ivar's traditional favorites and other delicious Northwest seafood from their daily fresh sheet. The main menu also features fresh steamed clams, salmon, Dungeness crab salad, halibut, Ivar's famous fish 'n chips, Puget Sound clam chowder and much more.
The New York Strip with mashed potatoes and vegetables (and a side order of shrimp which was absolutely divine) or the Cashew Encrusted Bass in curry sauce with rice and sauteed mushrooms and spinach. Leave a Comment

We went to Ivars at the pier, but there are many different locations. Its a takaway type shop, where you place your order to go, or there was a little area to sit and eat by the side. There was quite a big lineup each time we went, and all the food on the menu looked delicious. As everyone was walking by us with their order, it was like "ooohhh, that looks good, ohhh that looks good too!".
They do have a bit of a weird ordering system where you just shout out what you want. Hmm...Takes a bit of practise.
The chowder is just to die for. I really loved the red salmon chowder. You can buy it in the cup for about $3, or get it in the sour dour bread for about $6. I really think you could order anything from here and not be disappointed!
