"This Noe Valley fish market is less wholesale fish seller and more fancy fish grocery store à la Bi-Rite (with plenty of seating). Their New England-style chowder is served in three different sizes, ranging from a tiny 8oz cup to a giant 32oz bowl, and comes with a few slices of crispy, toasted bread that are made for chowder-dipping. It’s among the creamiest on the list and has enough bacon to qualify as a meat dish. And while you’re here, get the lobster salad on brioche." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
