Seafood Boils and Weekday Lunch in Olympia, WA: Where to Start at Ocean 7

Quick answer: In Olympia, Ocean 7 Boiling Seafood & Bar (1530 Black Lake Blvd SW, Ste F) covers two very different meals — a big, shareable Louisiana-style seafood boil for a night out, and a fast weekday lunch menu that runs until 3 pm. Below is where to start, with links to our detailed guides for each.

Two reasons people go to Ocean 7

Most visits fall into one of two buckets:

• A seafood boil with friends or family — a hands-on, crack-the-shell meal meant for sharing.
• A quick weekday lunch — something filling near Black Lake Blvd that fits into a work break.

Each one has its own guide on the Ocean 7 site. Here's what you'll get from each.

Planning a seafood boil

If you've never ordered a Cajun seafood boil, the main thing to know is that Ocean 7 sells them as ready-made combos sized by group, so you don't have to build an order pound by pound.

What the boil guide covers:

• How the combos are sized (for 1–2 people, 2–3 people, and a larger house platter)
• Which shellfish come in which combo
• Sides and appetizers worth adding
• A few tips for first-timers and groups

Grabbing a weekday lunch

On weekdays, Ocean 7 has a separate lunch menu, served Monday through Friday from opening (11:30 am) to 3 pm, excluding holidays. It's built around po'boys, fried baskets and grilled plates — a lighter, faster option than a full boil.

What the lunch guide covers:

• The lunch po'boy deal (a po'boy plus a side, $12.95)
• The fried basket and grilled plate options
• What goes into a Louisiana-style po'boy
• Ordering ahead so lunch is ready when you arrive

Which one should you pick?

• Coming with a group and have time to sit? Go for a boil.
• On a lunch break, Monday to Friday? Start with the lunch menu.
• Mixed group? Not everyone has to eat shellfish — the menu also has po'boys, baskets, grilled plates and pasta.
