"Despite being smack dab in the middle of Fisherman’s Wharf, we still wade through swaths of dawdling tourists to get to Scoma’s for solid seafood on a pier. On fogless days, we like to sit outside to get the full bayside experience, which typically includes seeing seagulls fly off with empty butter ramekins to the soundtrack of sea lions barking. Dig into a Dungeness crab while you’re here, and always start off strong with the “famous” clam chowder alongside the requisite free bread." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, ricky rodriguez
