The Pacific Northwest is known for its fresh seafood, particularly salmon and shellfish, thanks to its rich marine ecosystems.

This region, which includes parts of Washington, Oregon, and Northern California, is famous for its abundant seafood, including wild-caught Pacific salmon (such as Chinook and Coho), Dungeness crab, oysters, and clams. The coastal waters, including the waters of Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca, provide an ideal environment for these species. Seafood plays a central role in the region's culinary culture, with local markets and restaurants offering a wide variety of fresh fish and shellfish to residents and visitors alike.
