Last October, amid the pandemic and the election swirl, Market, Edmond\u2019s revered Fishmonger and Eatery, introduced their warm Lobster Roll (Connecticut Style). At $29 per sandwich, it seemed destined to be a niche item behind mainstays like their more modestly priced Fish & Chips, Market Fish Tacos, or Crab in a Bag. Then people began lining up\u2014by the hundreds.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s maybe craziest about the sensation is that nearly a year later the craze hasn\u2019t abated. The hole-in-the-wall fishmonger still sells hundreds of\u00a0lobster\u00a0and crab rolls every week.<\/p>\n

Chef Hans\u00a0Korompis, raised in Singapore and trained at several fine restaurants, including\u00a0TanakaSan, a Tom Douglas restaurant, says,\u00a0\u201cWe caught wind when we introduced the warm lobster roll. That\u2019s when it got crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With lobster being flown in daily by Inland Lobster, located in Portland, Maine, it wasn\u2019t easy keeping up with demand.\u00a0\u201cWe would run out in the beginning, and we had to eighty-six the sandwich,\u201d\u00a0says Hans.\u00a0\u201cBut now we know about how much we need for each day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Having consistent demand on both weekends and weekdays makes that much easier. There are fluctuations, like the Tik-Tok video last March that amassed over 200,000 views, or the post to Seattle Foodies on Facebook with its 26,000 members. But for the most part, demand spiked and never subsided.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Market\u2019s lobster rolls are served two ways, cold (Maine) or warm (Connecticut). The essential ingredient, in both cases, is a healthy portion of\u00a0really fresh\u00a0lobster, including both claw and tail meat. The roll is Macrina\u2019s Brioche Roll, brushed with house aioli and crisped. The warm version features lobster warmed in garlic butter, Old Bay Seasoning, and fresh chives. The cold version has a cold lobster salad with brown butter topped with chopped celery, gherkins, and Old Bay Seasoning. Both are served with fries and\u00a0housemade\u00a0tartar sauce.<\/p>\n

The Dungeness Crab Roll, also $29, is nearly as popular as the lobster rolls. Local Dungeness crab meat is tossed in brown butter and served on a crisped Macrina Brioche Roll and sprinkled Old Bay Seasoning and chives.<\/p>\n

Market\u2019s Fish & Chips may not be the item everyone is talking about right now, but they\u2019re worth seeking out. Local rockfish is beer-battered and served perfectly crisped and not at all soggy with oil. They\u2019re served with fries, lemon,\u00a0housemade\u00a0tartar and minty mushy peas.\u00a0\u201cWe make them the traditional British way on that fish,\u201d\u00a0says Hans.\u00a0\u201cThey\u2019ve been doing it for a long time. We respect that, and it makes sense.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seattle-based seafood lovers can now skip the drive north and head to their new outpost in the Seattle Art Museum. Located in the space formerly occupied by Taste, Market Seattle serves a very similar menu but has added\u00a0banh mi served on Macrina\u2019s Bui Buns, and Macrina pastries, among a few other new offerings. There is also a full bar featuring both draft beer and wine. The restaurant seats approximately 60 people.<\/p>\n

Market is part of the\u00a0Feedme\u00a0Hospitality and Restaurant Group that includes, among others, the celebrated Edmonds restaurants Salt & Iron, Fire & the Feast, Bar Dojo, and\u00a0SanKai\u00a0Sushi. In addition to the restaurant, Market Seattle provides catering services at the downtown museum, the Olympic Sculpture Park and the Asian Art Museum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
