White wine garlic sauce. Whole $36.95
Capurro’s Restaurant, San Francisco CA
Ugh, this was SO salty! And the host was a jerk. He was so unprofessional. We were seated near the host desk and we could hear him continually talking badly about the customers.
Coconut curry, snap peas, fresh turmeric. $15.75
Liholiho Yacht Club, San Francisco CA
I liked the flavors in this dish, but it was definitely on the salty side. The curry and turmeric were great. The clams were also pretty small and tough so I kinda wish they were large plump mussels instead.
Served with garlic naan.
With oyster crackers. Cup $6.95
Capurro’s Restaurant, San Francisco CA
This clam chowder was gross! It tasted like uncooked flour, and all the ingredients felt mushy and overcooked. The bread was also super dry.
Sourdough bread and butter. Complimentary
Garlic and herb vinaigrette. Whole $36.95
Capurro’s Restaurant, San Francisco CA
This wasn’t my favorite. The crab didn’t taste very fresh and the marinade was on the bitter side. The benefit did not justify the effort and the mess from eating this.
Lagunitas India Pale Ale. $6
Shrimp, polenta, cheese. Prix fix $45
Laurel Court Restaurant, San Francisco CA
This halibut was pretty good. I didn’t like the floured and sauteed shrimp though. They were limp, greasy and soggy.
Cornmeal fried oysters, Hogwash slaw, salt and pepper potato chips. $15
Hog Island Oyster Bar, San Francisco CA
Wow this po’ boy was delicious! When it arrived, I thought that it was pretty tiny for the price, but it actually was the perfect size for a filling lunch. I loved the cornmeal crust on the oysters although I wished they would have been slightly less hard. I wasn’t impressed with the soggy potato chips though. They were pretty lame.

Mmm, this salad was amazing! It wasn’t over dressed and the crabmeat was SO fresh and delicious! It was definitely worth the elevated price tag. Noms!

Marin miyagi (large) and British Columbia kusshi (small) served with cocktail sauce and mignonette. Each $2.75
Anchor Oyster Bar, San Francisco CA
Anchor Oyster is such a great neighborhood seafood restaurant! The place is super small and they don’t take reservations so you just place your name of the list and wait for the next table. These oyster were expertly shucked, fresh and delicious!
Hoegaarden draft beer. $5
Wild mushroom beurre blanc, arugula. $29
Leatherneck Steakhouse, San Francisco CA
Hmm, this was ok. The scallops had that weird metallic flavor that I don’t like and the beurre blanc could have been more flavorful. This dish was a bit boring for the price.
One dozen served with champagne mignonette. Happy hour $12
Farallon, San Francisco CA
These were good (not the best), but at a dollar each I’m not gonna complain too much. As long as I had a bit of the mignonette with them I was fine. Some of them weren’t shucked very cleanly though, but the seaweed garnish was a nice touch.
April 29, 2015. Half dozen, happy hour $6
Classic Manhattans. Happy hour each $6
Shrimp, clams and oysters. $14.95
Sam’s Chowder House, Half Moon Bay CA
I’ve discovered not I’m not a fan of raw clams. These were good, but they’re just not for me. The oysters were great too and the shrimp were tasty. This was a nice lil snack!
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. $5.50
Hoegarden. $5.50
Little neck clams, Yukon gold potatoes, smoked bacon, and cream. Cup $7.50
Sam’s Chowder House, Half Moon Bay CA
Mmm, this was pretty tasty. I liked the flavor and there was a good amount of ingredients in the chowder, but it still didn’t compare to the chowder at Spud Point Crab Company.
Bread and butter. Complimentary
