Anchor Oyster Bar Seafood Restaurant ·$$

This restaurant in the heart of the Castro serves some of the freshest seafood away from Fisherman's Wharf. The service and decor of the restaurant are simple. Diners order at the counter and seat themselves at small tin tables and chairs. All the seafood is fresh from the ocean, including the steamed crab and steamed mussels. There tends to be a large lunch contingent, so dining during off hours is recommended. You can also buy fresh seafood here to make your own culinary creations at home.

Absolutely LOVE this place! I've been here a handful of times, and every single time has been delicious, but today was on another level, so I had to leave a review! We ordered the Dungeness crab...
