Finest Seafood Eating places in San Francisco: Our All-Time Favourite Locations

Fisherman’s Wharf
Scoma’s is one of the most classic seafood restaurants in SF, serving “pier-to-plate” dishes from local fishermen who bring their daily catch straight to the restaurant’s pier. That, of course, means your best bet is to order what’s just rolled up, including the cioppino with dungeness crab, scallops, prawns, clams, mussels, and the market fish. But no judgment, sometimes you just want a really good fish fillet sandwich, and when that happens Scoma’s – made with fresh flounder and served with fennel salad, lettuce and fries – is always just the thing. Whatever you order, you’ll enjoy it both indoors and outdoors with a view of the water (especially as long as the al fresco dining is maintained in the waterfront parking lot). And you can even enjoy it at the weekend brunch where you can find a very overdone Bloody Mary that is almost a meal in itself.
How to book: Reservations are possible at Howl.
