The Barking Crab

Crab house · Fort Point Channel

"Is the Barking Crab pricey? Sure, but isn’t everything? And few things come with a better view than this summer-friendly waterfront spot that almost feels like you’re on the coast of Maine or the Cape. Don’t sleep on the hot crab dip." - Tanya Edwards
