Bordered on three sides by water, San Francisco knows seafood. Just north of San Francisco in Tomales Bay sits tiny Hog Island, a protected source of some of the world's best oysters, in the fertile Pacific, San Francisco's famous Dungeness crab dread the next crab season and Northern California's rivers supply excellent local, freshwater seafood. San Francisco seafood restaurants, to no surprise, offer some of the freshest local seafood on the planet and do so expertly and oftentimes with stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and the San Francisco Bay. Most all San Francisco restaurants offer seafood in some form, but several specialize in seafood. For impressive views and fresh seafood, San Francisco's Cliff House is a must. For a small neighborhood restaurant with a special touch at preparing seafood, Yabbie's Coastal Kitchen in Russian Hill is a local favorite.
