I can't say enough great things about 4 Star Seafood in San Francisco! The quality of their seafood…read moreis absolutely outstanding--everything was incredibly fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. You can really tell they take pride in what they do. What truly impressed us, though, was their customer service. We weren't able to make it to pick up our order, and Scott went above and beyond by arranging an Uber to deliver our seafood to us. That level of care, kindness, and dedication is so rare these days. He turned what could have been a stressful situation into an easy and enjoyable experience. If you're looking for top-quality seafood and a business that genuinely cares about its customers, I highly recommend 4 Star Seafood. Scott's exceptional service earned a customer for life. Thank you for going the extra mile!

Each time I ordered fish was cold and ice not melted. All the fish I ordered was fish, with no smell whatsoever. Ora King salmon - quite good, not that fatty, which is fine. Ora King shanks - tail part, tastes similar as belly. Big glory bay king salmon - liked this a bit more as sashimi than Ora. Copper river sockeye salmon - pan fried with a hint of salt, was very tasty naturally. Loch duart salmon - similar as above, not dry at all, very juicy tender esp for wild. Salmon bellies - very fatty, as expected, a lot of wonderful oil.

For two of us we ordered a dozen oysters (sweetwaters, kusshis and miyagis), a bowl of clam chowder, the steamed artichoke w/citrus aioli, the Caesar salad w/crab and some bread on the side. And two glasses of Corsican rosé. ALL of it was scrumptious. It was just the right amount of food for us, though next time we will downsize the clam chowder or order a plain Caesar to fit another half dozen oysters into our bellies. Service was uniformly attentive and friendly and the place is cute and clean. We arrived at about 5.40 and were seated about half an hour later at the bar. Coming back!!

At the sleepy end of Castro, Anchor Oyster Bar was as amazing as it looks, and I had the chance to…read moredine in like the locals in the late 70s. Delicious shellfish meals has always been on my mind before I personally give up on them. I preferred indoor dining since I got to see how hungry customers like their food so much. After finding out about the specials, it's too bad there's never any single fish dishes let alone mostly shellfish meals. Therefore, a shellfish salad was a suitable choice. A pair of prawns, Bay shrimps, crab meat remains, olives, slices of tomatoes, slices of radish, and the romaine lettuce as a base. The blue cheese dressing I've chosen didn't overwhelm the shrimp and crab flavors as I continue to enjoy every single bite. I'll be more than glad to have cioppino and some oyster shooters, but having the shellfish salad is the last shellfish meal I would ever have. I still give two thumbs up to Anchor Oyster Bar for their local sustainable seafood selection.

Situated centrally within a block of mixed (mostly) residential/(some) small construction business…read moreoffice buildings and way the eff out there in the far hinterlands of the SF Bayview (off of 3rd St.) lies one of the smallest cevicherias I've ever come across. after finding out about it somewhere in cyberspace and noticed that it was peppered with positive reviews, I made the trek out to this part of town and came away pretty impressed. with practically no one but myself there, my shrimp ceviche (with a frosty bottle of Topo Chico) still took a good amount of time to make as it was whipped up as soon as I signed off on my receipt but it was well worth it. everything tasted fresh, the shrimp was deveined & cut up in smaller pieces in order for them to fit onto singular crispy tortilla chips and the tray included separate containers of a spicy (I requested a mild one & their version of it still had some bite) green salsa and another of diced up mango with the avocado slices mounted atop the entire dish. all this required a fork to separate, lift and stir some of the ingredients but using bare hands was still the most efficient & preferred way of demolishing the meal. seating is limited to a few stools in front of the joint, possibly with one or two inside of it and what reminded me of breakaway high school bleachers across the sidewalk with some limited seats in front of it. the facade is contrasted with striking street-ish artwork and a plain black one, noticeable enough to grab one's attention and possibly reel in those looking for some truly good seafood. beers and a popular michelada are also offered on their drink menu as well as some off the menu items that'll surprise some.

As much as I love oysters I'm ashamed to say I can't really tell them apart to decide which is my favorites lol. 1/2 Avocado W/ Crab Meat and the raw oysters are my favorites, fresh and tasty. The Spicy Prawn entree on the other hand was a disappointment for us - not spicy at all and quite bland to our taste. So for us this might be the place we come to when I crave oysters but probably not for their entree since they are quite pricey.

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!

Meal planning before Good Friday can be a challenge. Seeing people enjoy foods with meat becomes…read morevery tempting during the Holy Week . I did find a place where no meat would be available in SF . Once I started thinking of this place I started to map out hella meal possibilities with me creating dishes like San Francisco's native dish Cioppino and also making some salmon dishes along with some okay shrimp dishes like fried shrimp, skewer shrimps on the barbie, and scallop ceviche. The real feast on Good Friday would be getting the Dungeness Crab paired with some garlic noodles . This place has been a Mission District seafood institution and it's called Sun Fat Seafood company ( a former employee started Basa Seafood Express on 24th street). On a Spring stroll on Mission street between 22nd and 23rd streets I went inside a fresh seafood market. Inside you will see live lobsters in a tank. You will also see Dungeness Crab during crab season and also find of variety of fresh oysters selection along with scallops. You will also see sushi rolls when available along with different types of fishes. This place was the solution I was looking for to replace meat cravings and replace with seafood during Good Friday feast. This is definitely the place if you like it crustaceans and fish cooked or raw in SF. Inside Sun Fat Seafood you find some raw fish "fillet" to make your meal for " Good Friday" as some will "pray" and enjoy the fresh catch of seafood in San Francisco city by the "Bay" It's almost Good Friday so I feel "bless "I am alive and remembering those who passed away in peace may they "rest" I walk the streets of the Mission I "reminisce" and honor them on Good Friday feast as I eat some crab that's "Dungeness"
