Eating seafood in San Francisco

Joe's Crab Shack

Located in Fisherman's Wharf, Joe's Crab Shack is known for two "specialties": crab and dancing. If you order the crab, you'll receive an extra crab biscuit to take home as a souvenir, and a bib to prevent mess. In addition, lively, cheerful music is always playing, and sometimes the staff enthusiastically sing along. There are many other delicious options, such as Maine lobster, rib-eye beef, jumbo prawns, catfish, squid, and mackerel. These can be featured in appetizers or main courses. And don't miss the delicious desserts like lemon pie and chocolate cake.
