Washington’s seafood is second to none. But if you’ve lived here long enough, you know that some of our best seafood isn’t always found in the high end restaurants or tourist-friendly eateries—it’s in the laid back, no-fuss hidden spots. Hood Canal’s Hook & Fork is no exception.

You'll find Hook & Fork in the back of Union City Market, a gathering place in Union.
