"This Castro spot is a classic seafood bar with anchors and life preservers tacked all over the walls, and a menu of icy oyster platters, pool-sized cioppinos, and some of the best clam chowder in town. It’s also sourdough paradise. Don't say "no" when the server offers you a plate of tangy bread—and then another—and never resist dousing a piece in your soup of choice." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
