| The Swan Oyster Depot is a true San Francisco landmark: It’s been selling and serving fresh, frill-free seafood since 1912. Behind the marble counter, convivial employees shuck impeccably fresh oysters. Steamed crab, shrimps, and lobster are also offered, but don’t expect any fancy preparations. A couple of draft beers, including San Francisco’s own Anchor Steam, complete the dining experience. You may have to wait for one of the few wooden stools, but the place is so nondescript from the outside most tourists miss it. Closing time is 5 p.m. |
