As somebody from Boston this might come off as surprising, shocking even, but Seattle is way wayyy to obsessed with seafood.
Their pizzas have seasfood, their burgers/sandwiches have seafood. A large part of any decent brunch place's menu is occupied by the 'pescada' section. Big and small, slimy or not, all sort of critters of the sea are represented in the menu here.
The one obvious reason is that the city lies by the Ocean, and also has several massive freshwater bodies surrounding it. So you get to have your choice of water-breathing being to eat. The rivers nearby, cold and full of minerals, are full of yummy fish as well.
That's it. It's an unhealthy obsession, and seafood is not sustainable in the long term either. Seeing how folks are otherwise eco-conscious, I'm surprised the water-animal creature is such a big deal here. Maybe it's because the place is called SEAttle so they love the SEAfood?
