INSIDE SCOOP SF – “Picking the best Bay Area restaurants for Dungeness crab”
“One of the big surprises as I was dining at the Crab House at Pier 39, a part of the San Francisco Port restaurant series that’s been running since last year in the Food & Wine section, is how good the crab is. The place is all decked out in white tile and overlooks the bay; the crab comes on a sizzling skillet with a buttery garlic sauce ($24.95/$38.95 for 2+ pounds) — and a bib, which is needed.
If you want slightly more formal surroundings, and even better views, sister restaurant the Franciscan farther down Fisherman’s Wharf also serves the same style crab.”
