Lucky Louie Fish Shack: Reviews & Ratings
Lucky Louie's hands down has the best seafood at SEA. The coconut shrimp are perfectly crunchy and the pineapple sweet chili is the perfect complement. The fries were fresh and well seasoned and excellent for dipping in the herb mayo or tartar sauce. And the Lucky combo is a must try for both types of fish. Definitely stopping by every time I fly!
I travel everywhere, and this is my first time in the Seattle area at the airport. While there I figured I would try Lucky Louie's Fish Shack and I got the coconut shrimp and a cup of the clam chowder. Most airport food is absolutely overpriced and awful. Delightfully, this was not. The clam chowder was thick but not artificially so. Creamy, very full of CLAMS. Not just potatoes and celery, but CLAMS. LOTS. Fabulous taste. I also got the coconut shrimp boat. It came wrapped in paper and a rubber band. Classic presentation. When I opened up the wrapper, there were four HUGE shrimp, butterflied and pounded flat, and the breading was delightfully sweet (but not too much) and crunchy, coconutty... mmm. The shrimp were sauced with Thai sweet chili sauce and served over rice, with more on the side. Rice was jasmine, and perfectly sticky. Did I mention the pickles? Fresh, with sweet vinegar and black sesame seeds and red chili, maybe a vinaigrette? Delicious. This restaurant left me stuffed, and very pleased with the quality. For 28 buckes in an airport? Knocked it out of the park. Please, open one in Cincinnati! But not at the airport! I would give anything for taste and value like this in the Midwest. Staff was friendly and courteous. Highly recommended. It's in an airport so some of the review questions don't apply. But if you're in Sea-Tac at the airport and looking for good food, this is it.
Lucky Louis is a take out fish place inside SeaTac airport. Right at the main terminal entrance, it's easy to find as it's on the end of the food court area. Their menu is a good size but prices are very high for the portion sizes. Quality of the fish was alright and the fries were fine. The staff here are friendly and everything is cooked to order. The food court is right next to it with plenty of tables and seats.
We choose Lucky Louie Fish Shack for our fist fish lunch after arriving into airport. WE WERE THE LUCKY ONES!!! We were hungry and Looking for great place eat fresh fish. Fish and chips were outstanding and fish taco’s were best we ever ate. GET LUCKY AND CHOOSE LUCKY LOUIE’s .
Surprisingly great fish and chips at an airport? Yes! I had the 3-piece Alaska pollock fish and chips, and Lucky Louie's far exceeded my expectations. Crunchy breading, well-fried fries, and a tangy tartar sauce made this one of the best airport meals I've ever had. Loved the location, too -- the wide-open seating area in the main terminal was nice and bright and airy, and there was even a musician playing live.
I was so impressed by this place. Located in central terminal at SeaTac and plenty of seating right in front of the giant wall of windows overlooking the tarmac (fantastic way to kill time while waiting for a flight) Clam chowder has delicious flavor and fish and chips taste fresh and lightly battered and fried but not greasy! Prices higher since it's located inside the airport but also typical for West Coast but well worth visiting and certainly MUCH better quality than most airport food
I've been PLEASANTLY surprised by how much I enjoyed my fish n chips ordered here! An increasingly lost practice by today's fast food industry, the food was PIPING HOT, the most important aspect of ANY fried food, is that it is served hot.. preferably straight out the fire! It WAS—I watched as they dropped my single order by itself, the moment I completed making it!! Made-to-order, They drop the fries and fish before each and every order and the food is not sitting out under a heat lamp losing temperature, freshness and greater risk of exposure to contaminants. No begging this restaurant for freshly dropped fried orders and then waiting up to 1/2 an hour before it is economically feasible for them to drop more batches.. The fish I ordered was the Pollock and it is everything you could ever want in battered fried fish: dangerously hot; crispy outer; flaky and moist interior. A frequent traveler, with a gypsy streak, I have to say that SeaTac is one of my FAVORITE airports in the U.S. in large part due to the quality of the food options and upscale shopping available. Most airports offer low quality shops and restaurants at wallet gouging-level high prices. Yes it IS pricey—but here the exceptional quality more closely matches its price point. Highly recommended for seafood lovers wanting to experience fish n chips the way it used to be 20+ years ago!
