FishBox — Restaurant in Seattle

If you're looking for show-stopping, soul-satisfying fish dishes prepared with care and served with heart - Fishbox is it.

We had the joy of working with Ibrahim for our large outdoor community event in Rainier Beach celebrating the salmon migration and environmental stewardship. From the very first phone call, Ibrahim was warm, kind, and incredibly accommodating. He walked me through all the fish platter options with patience and expertise, helping us find a spread that would feed 100+ people and stay within our small budget.

We ultimately ordered seven platters—catfish, salmon, and tilapia—and every single bite was absolutely phenomenal. People were raving about the food the entire day. “This is the best fish I’ve ever had in my life,” was said more than once, and we couldn’t agree more.

Beyond the incredible food, what made this experience truly special was Ibrahim himself. He made me feel heard, supported, and taken care of throughout the process. He even helped us adjust the pickup time so we could stay on budget. It’s rare to find that level of thoughtfulness and flexibility these days.

Fishbox isn't just a restaurant- it’s a gem of a place run by someone who genuinely cares about the community and the people he serves. Thank you, Ibrahim, for helping make our event so delicious and memorable last year. We’ll be back, again and again.

My second time to the place was a disaster. On my initial visit, I ordered the catfish, and beef lumpia, they don't serve oysters there, a little sad about that. The catfish was good but the fries were awful, they were old and too salty and I had to throw them out. The beef lumpia was chicken, didn't really want chicken but they were still alright. On my next order, I asked if it was cheaper to get no fries and they said no same price, boo. I ordered some more catfish and stuff. After waiting for about a half and hour outside and seeing other people walking up getting their order, I decided to call to see what is the hold up. I think the number goes to the owner's cell phone at home and he relays the order to the business, that is a bit clunky and unnecessary. I would rather speak to the business directly. I don't care for phone tag and relays, at that point, I was frustrated and wanted to leave, I canceled my order. I was a disappointed on how things are handled there. You already can't enter the business, you have to wait outside in the cold until they relay the message to come to the door. I tried to like this place but I will just stick to Emerald City, it's more streamlined and they...

🗣️Listen here! I’m from GA and am always looking for great food!

Since moving to Seattle, I have only ordered from Catfish Corner, because that’s what my boyfriend introduced me to. I lucked up and found Fish Box on DoorDash!!!

I live in Belltown and ordered via DoorDash! The food wasn’t hot by the time it got here (of course because it was delivery), but it was STILL amazing! I ordered the catfish and shrimp combo boxes and everything was seasoned so great! I dozed off and woke up eating more!

I’m about to order some chicken wings. I will update this review as soon as I taste it! I can’t wait until you all open a storefront! You have a new customer!

P.S. I’ll still go to Catfish Corner, because the owner is hot (🤣), but…okay, BYE! Let me order these wings before you all close!!!

Update: I dropped my review from 5 stars to 4 stars. Here’s why. I ordered lemon pepper wings, garlic parmesan wings, the shrimp box, and a slice of the strawberry cheesecake. The food is seasoned VERY well!!! However, the wings need to be fried longer. They are too soggy. I find that a lot on this side of the country. Great...
