When it comes to San Francisco food you can't have any of the top restaurant dishes without having…read moreseafood. The majority of tourist visiting in SF congregate by the water to grab something with seafood in it. Throughout the city you can find delicious crab in dishes native to San Francisco like Cioppino . You will also find seafood in many dishes around the city restaurants like ceviche ,honey walnut prawn , shrimp scampi, and Dungeness crab with garlic noodles. You cannot go to the Cherry Blossom Festival in San Francisco at the largest Japantown in America this April weekend without enjoying a sushi dish with salmon. One thing about seafood dishes is it's easy to cook. You can't really screw up cooking a salmon or some shrimps. There is one place which has all the seafood essentials when you are miles away from the water in the Richmond ( not the city of Richmond) District in San Francisco . It's on Clement street and it's called the Seafood Center. On a Spring stroll by the See's Candies on 9th Avenue you will see the Seafood Center up the block on Clement. Inside you will see lobsters and crabs for sale which will save you time shopping and traveling to Fisherman's Wharf. You will see hella fish heads on an ice in a line up. The fishes inside are caught locally and some are caught as far as New Zealand. They also have shrimps that look okay along with Manila Clams. This is a good place to grab seafood to take home and cook or have it raw all four seasons in San Francisco. San Francisco is the home of Cioppino "inventor" which you can grab the ingredients for it on Clement street at the" Seafood Center" they have hella fresh crab meat and shrimp that's so "tender" you can see the all seafood once you "enter" So go and "grab "some seafood like shrimp , lobster, Manila clams and some "crab "and see the fish on ice by the "slab" it's located on Clement past the Sees Candies between "9th and 10th Ave"

Longstanding fresh seafood store that sells various shrimps, clams, mussels and all kinds of fish!…read more I bought some halibut, mussels and shrimp to make paella. A few of the mussels were dead amongst a half pound dozen, but the live ones were quite clean and juicy inside. Fast service - pay at the left side shrimp counter.

It was a hot day, so my mom was craving something cold for lunch. She picked the salmon sashimi,…read moreand I picked the salmon salad bowl. I was surprised by how much their selection has expanded since my last visit. They now offer a great variety of sushi, sashimi, and other fresh options, and everything looked delicious. My mom said her salmon sashimi was incredibly fresh and sweet. I really enjoyed my salmon salad bowl, it came with avocado, cucumber, edamame, and seaweed. It was light, refreshing, and perfect for a warm day. My only complaint is that the portion was a little small. I honestly could've eaten two bowls! Lol! This place is small but clean and well organized, and the customer service was friendly and welcoming. I'd definitely come back for another fresh and satisfying meal.

I have stopped by here a few times when I'm in the area and want something quick. The fish has…read morealways been fresh and the quality is good, which is why I keep coming back. It's a small shop, but it's great for grabbing sushi or sashimi to go. The selection can be a little limited depending on the day, and it is definitely on the pricier side for the portion sizes. That being said, the freshness, quality, and convenience keep me coming back. Service has always been friendly.

TIME: Came around 4:50 pm on 4th of July, wasn't really packed, took a little bit to get our food…read more PARKING: parking wasn't too hard to find, but since it is only street parking it might be tough to find something, especially if it's busier. PLACE: place is fairly small, no inside dine in, and there are benches to wait for your order. Someone greets and takes your order, then they give you a buzzer and you wait for your food. FOOD: Combo #1: Spicy Salmon Poke - very good flavor and the sauce makes it come together nicely, it also comes with seaweed salad, and rice. Combo #2: Salmon Teriyaki Plate - comes with teriyaki carrot and broccoli, 4 pieces of shrimp battered, rice, and salmon teriyaki, the portion was small but it was good. All combos come with water! OVERALL: super good place if you're craving fresh poke or some seafood in general.

Thanks for the recommendations, @Dominic. Came here to grab…read moresome seafood for lunch. There was a short line. I ordered basa seafood combo with fried fish, shrimp and. Oyster with fries. I also got a spicy salmos poke and shoyu tuna poke. The fried fish was a bit dry but crispy. The pokes were delicious and I didn't get the combo because I had rice and seaweed at home. They give you a number beeper which rings when your order is ready. There are not seating at this place. It is all to go or take out orders. Parking can be difficult but I circled once and found a spot in front of the place on a Friday afternoon.

Third time's the charm!…read more The first two times we tried to eat at Hog Island Oyster Co., we took one look at the line and walked away. This visit, we came determined to finally see what all the hype was about--and I'm so glad we did. The wait was about 30 minutes, which honestly wasn't bad for such a popular spot. The best part? Once we were seated, service was incredibly efficient. Our food arrived quickly, giving us more time to savor every bite. The oysters were as fresh as they come--briny, sweet, and tasting like they had just come out of the bay. We ordered all three grilled oyster varieties, and each one was outstanding. The toppings added layers of flavor without masking what makes a great oyster so special: its delicate natural sweetness. It's a balance that's surprisingly hard to get right, and Hog Island nailed it. Then came the clam chowder. Wow. Velvety, rich, and loaded with tender clams, it had deep, comforting flavor without feeling overly heavy or salty. Easily one of the best clam chowders I've ever had. Now I completely understand why people are willing to wait in line. Some places are all hype--this isn't one of them. Hog Island absolutely lives up to its reputation, and we'll happily be back!

Fairly priced. Perfect amount of rice with excellent texture and seasoning. Skipped the restaurants for the evening and had a feast right at home. Wasn't settling for less either. Don't feel like cooking and dining out sound unappealing? Jagalchi is the answer! With all the new Asian grocery stores popping all over the bay, it's up there on my list. If only we had more locations and that's no joke.

Went back to the time warp that is Jalgalchi…read more My friend and I spent lots of time at the new beauty collection. The purity rep was super patient - going over the different products with us and even gifting us with a little gift set and out with purchase. Michelle helped us with figuring out concealer color and breaking the tie in lip color. We ended up getting two drawings because of our purchase. On to the rest of the store. We got lunch boxes and they were meh. I like the banchan and the quantity of food, but the protein dishes were lacking in freshness - the eel was better than the kalbi, which was just lackluster at best. Will go for the sushi next time. I did score black rice and toasted black sesame seeds along with rice paper. And the gluten free baked goods of course. Until next time!

I have subscribed to other CSF and Sea Forager is by far the best. I have a "Neptune's Delight"…read moresubscription for 2 people every other week. I love the packaging, and the fact that fish is on ice rather than surrounded by those frozen plastic packets (which end up in the landfill). The fish is packaged in environmental "friendly" bags rather than in plastic. They also deliver at the beginning of the pickup period (i.e. The pickup range is 3:30-8pm, and it's at my pickup point at 3:30). That is different than other CSF who deliver sometime within their published pickup period. Now about their seafood. It has been nice to get clean cut fish, not something that looks like it was hacked from a larger fish. Everything is fresh. They send you an email letting you know what you'll receive. They also have recipes. The last item I received was 4.5 dozen mussels! I look forward to doing business with them for the foreseeable future. Just an aside. My daughter took a sea foraging tour with Kirk in 2012. She raved about how knowledgeable he was and recommended him to me. I, unfortunately, did not follow through. I found Kirk just by chance when the person whose home is used for deliveries asked, on NextDoor, who might be interested in a fresh fruit CSA. I'm glad I did.

Totally sold on them after a 4 week trial. * Seafood is SOOO…read morefresh. You can taste it. * I get to learn about how fish is caught, who caught it and how to cook it. I feel like I'm learning about the sea and the food, which is awesome. * Bonus that it's family run, they're super friendly and well meaning, give you great flexibility and they're funny too and down to earth * Super easy to order and trial, lots of pick up locations.

I discovered a new beer for me. Mare Island Brewing Co's War Bonds reminds me of Anchor Brewing's steam beer and that 1st icy cold sip was divine. Loved spooning the olive oil vinaigrette with equal parts Dijon mustard and crab fat emulsified in over the combination salad. And I ordered a "dozen eggs", thinly sliced raw scallops dotted with Sriracha floating in a shallow pool of ponzu. Heaven. The line wasn't as bad when I left but I'm glad I made it in today since they're closed for just over a week's vacation starting tomorrow, the 4th of July! And I got a little takeout bag with my leftover dressing. I couldn't let it go to waste!
