The Best Tuna Melts In SF - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Don’t be dissuaded by the crowd waiting outside this tiny Excelsior convenience store—service is quick and delicious canned fish awaits. Sure, you'll probably be able to name the brand and scent of your linemate's deodorant, but it's very much worth the reward of a build-your-own melt. For the best results, surround your fish with dutch crunch, and go easy on the list of vegetables and spreads. Roxie’s tuna spread is wet and heavy on mayo—you could probably use it to paper mache—and any extra sauce may threaten your sandwich’s structural integrity. There's no seating at Roxie, but if you'd like everyone to watch you strut around with your glorious fish, head to the nearby park that has a huge grassy field." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
