Address

Inside Pier 39 (bay-view dining room)

A crab house inside Pier 39 with views over the bay; the headline dish is the 'Killer Crab': a whole Dungeness crab roasted in garlic sauce and served in its iron skillet. You put on a bib and crack the shells yourself, and buttery hands are part of the fun. Combos that add mussels and shrimp work well for two, and crab chowder in a sourdough bowl is popular. The bay is right outside the window and the sea lions are a short walk away.
