About this business

This restaurant in the heart of the Castro serves some of the freshest seafood away from Fisherman's Wharf. The service and decor of the restaurant are simple. Diners order at the counter and seat themselves at small tin tables and chairs. All the seafood is fresh from the ocean, including the steamed crab and steamed mussels. There tends to be a large lunch contingent, so dining during off hours is recommended. You can also buy fresh seafood here to make your own culinary creations at home.

We had the clam chowder and garlic bread. The service was great and the food was sinfully delicious.

such a great place. We enjoyed the oysters, the shrimp cocktail and the cioppino (wow, huge portion!). Service was swift and sure for such a cozy place. Look forward to returning.
