Just look for seafood restaurants in San Francisco that talk about serving fresh local seafood and change their menus seasonally to reflect the best fish available.
Another thing to look for when choosing the best seafood in San Francisco is the variety of dishes and the cooking techniques. For a true San Francisco seafood experience you will likely want to try famous San Francisco-style seafood like clam chowder in a sourdough bread bowl, Dungeness crab, and seafood cioppino. To taste the best seafood in San Francisco you’ll also want to order dishes that are simply prepared so you can taste the freshness and the flavor of the seafood itself. For instance, a fresh piece of salmon simply grilled with minimal sauce will allow you to appreciate the seafood San Francisco has to offer.
The best seafood in San Francisco can be found at restaurants that receive fresh fish deliveries daily and cut that whole fish into portions before cooking them masterfully and serving them soon thereafter right to your table. Many of these eaters can be found in the PIER 39 restaurants as they are right on the water and know their guests value local fresh seafood. Of the well-known PIER 39 San Francisco restaurants, Fog Harbor Fish House, Pier Market Seafood Restaurant, and Crab House receive and cut fresh fish deliveries daily.
If you are planning to cook the best seafood in San Francisco at home and impress your family and guests you have a few options to choose from. Depending on the season, the local farmer’s markets often have the freshest and most delicious seafood available. It also feels great to get to speak with the fishermen who caught the seafood themselves as well as support their hard work with the cost going straight to them instead of a middle-man markup. There is a famous large farmer’s market at the San Francisco ferry building every Saturday morning that we highly recommend while enjoying the local fruits, vegetables, pastries, and the waterfront as well. Another good option is to look for community-supported fisheries that allow you to sign up for a subscription service to have local fresh fish delivered to your door. Perhaps the most exciting option is to buy fish straight off the boat like the San Francisco pier restaurants do. In Fisherman’s Wharf, you can buy live crabs right out of the tank as well as shrimp, scallops, and lobster tails. There are even fishing boats you can go out on and catch the seafood yourself.
What better way to enjoy the best seafood in San Francisco than to enjoy it while overlooking San Francisco’s most iconic landmarks – the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz? To accomplish this enticing activity, we recommend the Fisherman’s Wharf San Francisco restaurants serving fresh seafood while overlooking the San Francisco Bay. There are many PIER 39 restaurants as well as restaurants near PIER 39 that give you the complete experience.
Just remember to use our tips of searching for restaurants that offer local seafood that is seasonal, delivered fresh daily, and mentions or shows photos of the iconic Bay views. Then, it’s always a good idea to cross-reference your findings with review sites to help you narrow in on the restaurants that consistently offer the best food, views, and overall guest experience to make sure that you truly get the experience you deserve.
