Crab House at Pier 39

It has been a very long time since my last post and I will definitely make an effort to get all the posts from summer completed. If I drag it on anymore it will be difficult for me to make accurate and detailed reviews of the food I enjoyed. The Crab House is a famous establishment at the popular Pier 39, its most famous dish is its "World Famous Dungeness Killer Crab". I am usually not a huge fan of eating crab because it take quite a lot of effort to get the meat out but with all the positive reviews I couldn't wait to dig in!

Excellent. What a cute and fun drink list :) 

I'm a sucker for bloody marys 

Ready to get messy with my apron on!

Clams in a Garlic Shallot Sauce with Linguine 
The clams were extremely fresh and sweet, it was cooked perfectly with a tasty garlic shallot sauce that did not overpower and mask the flavor and freshness of clams. The linguine was cooked to a perfect al dente and the leftover sauce was happily soaked up with bread.

Fish and Chips 
... of pretty epic proportions. A humongous slab of fish battered and fried to crispy perfection. The batter was not too thick and the fish was not overly greasy. The fish was well made but nothing creative or particularly memorable. The fries on the other hand was absolutely amazing. They were smothered in aromatic garlic bits that made the fries irresistible. 

World Famous 2+ lb Dungeness Killer Crab
The crab was drenches in the restaurant's "secret garlic sauce" that brought out the flavor of the crab perfectly. It was super tasty and the crab shell was cracked already so it was very easy to get the meat out and into my mouth :) The crab definitely lived up to its hype! Everyone should pop by here to try this amazing dish if you are in San Francisco! 

Conquered. Noms

The fruit market in Pier 39 of Fisherman's Wharf is an absolute feast for the eyes. The fruits all look juicy, delicious, and almost too pretty to eat.

Hog's Island Oyster Farm

I always tell people I can probably eat 2 dozen of oysters to myself. Oysters are one of the most delicious foods ever and I can seriously eat it all day. That is why I was incredibly excited when I found out that Hog's Island Oyster Farm was located only 1 hours drive out of San Fran. It was initially a bit hard to convince my parents to go because they were a bit skeptical and also not as avid of an oyster lover as I am, but with some persuasion we were on the way to this oyster heaven. The drive was actually extremely leisurely with some very beautiful views of the pacific ocean, forests, and marshes. Hog's Island Oyster farm is located in Marshall but they also have two oyster bars in Napa and San Fran. I wanted to go to the actual farm because there you can sit by a picnic table, shuck your own oysters, and enjoy nature while sipping on wine - a much better experience in my opinion!

Such an amazing price for absolutely divine oysters! 

Where they take your order: they give you a tray with all your oysters along with ice, a oyster knife, and a glove.

Picnic area with the bar where you can get cheeses, wine, and meats. You can bring your own coal or by it from the venue and cook whatever meats or ingredients you bring. The atmosphere is extremely friendly and casual. Everyone just looked like they were having a great time and enjoying good food with good company. 

YES.

Oysters, wine, and cheese. The good life. The crackers and cheese were both made from very high quality ingredients and the wine selection was also very decent. The white wine with the oyster was perfect! 

Dad was quite a master at shucking oyster. 

My first shucked oyster! The extra small oysters were the sweetest while the medium sized ones were recommended for the grill. We did not want to start up a grill therefore shucked all of them and ate all of them raw. They were all incredibly fresh and delicious. The quality of the oysters were amazing and each bite made you craving for more. 

Weather was a little unpredictable and drizzly but it did not dampen our spirits! 

A very very lovely experience. Everyone please make sure to drop by Hog's Island if you are near the area! Definitely worth it!
