Ivar's Salmon House

From its early beginnings — with Ivar Haglund selling fish ‘n chips on Seattle’s waterfront in 1938 — to today, Ivar’s has winged its way to Marysville and Tacoma, plus a few clam beds in between. The Ivar’s dining experience offers 18 fast casual Seafood Bars and three full-service waterfront-view restaurants: Ivar’s Acres of Clams, Ivar’s Salmon House, and Ivar’s Mukilteo Landing. Ivar’s also operates stadium concessions in T-Mobile Park, Lumen Field, Cheney Stadium, and Husky Stadium. No matter which restaurant you choose, you’ll find the award-winning Ivar’s seafood you love.The Northwest dining legacy that is Ivar’s began in 1938 with one very entrepreneurial spirit, the late Ivar Haglund. His future in music and entertaining took a slight detour when his waterfront aquarium needed a vendor to feed its guests. Using his own classic Northwest seafood recipes, Ivar’s was born. This dining destination has since spawned many more restaurants to delight future generations.
