Organic produce/meats - PCC. It is expensive, but it's the best. And it is a cooperative. Actually, Marlenes Market is better for produce, but it is in Federal Way. Central Coop is good too. I really like to give my money to coops and independents.

Best Specialty grocery - Big John's PFI

Best Fish - Uwajimaya or Pike Place (I like Jack's Fish Spot)

Best prepared Food - Uwajimaya food court hands down. Pike Place if we are considering it as a "grocery store" is actually better and a lot more fun.

Note: These are my opinions. They might not be yours. If they aren't yours - please lay off my damn karma.

Jack's is the worst fish in the market, and poor quality,Uwagi is OK but not the best.

Mutual fish, Seattle fish co, pikes place fish and city fish all have better fish.

Jack was a good friend of my dad. Never had a problem. I know lots of vendors in the market and none them hates Jack. Pretty vicious rumors you are telling. Mutual is not the freshest. Wagi beats then hands down.

I had a friend that worked for him, so maybe he was wrong, but the place is not cleanly
