Top Seafood Restaurants in San Francisco for Dining Out

Whether you’re heading to San Francisco for a visit or are a longtime resident of the city, you will find numerous seafood restaurant options. Here are some of the best. 

Catch
Catch is located on Castro, and offers some of the best seafood in the city.  From tuna tartar to oysters and more, Catch provides some of the freshest seafood available.  The atmosphere is both relaxed and elegant, and there is a welcome fireplace on cold evenings.

Farallon
If you want elegant, elaborate dining, Farallon is the place for you.  This seafood restaurant offers French dishes, as well as international fare that will delight the palate.  There is a raw bar on offer, as well as plenty of dining space.  Each room has a different “undersea” theme, as well.

Ferry Plaza Seafood
At Ferry Plaza Seafood, you will find a marble topped bar, as well as picnic tables – it’s an odd mixture of elegance and casual dining.  You will also find fresh bread, fresh seafood (the oysters are particularly popular), and much more.

Hog Island Oyster Company
If oysters are your seafood of choice, then you’ll be in “hog” heaven.  Of course, the restaurant offers much more than just oysters.  There is clam chowder, shellfish and more.  Don’t miss happy hour, either, when oysters are just a dollar.
