Scoma’s
The Verdict
"Seafood goes from dock to kitchen with no middleman."
What you need to know
Scoma’s has been on Pier 47 in Fisherman’s Wharf since 1965, owned by the Scoma family the entire time. Boats unload directly behind the restaurant, so seafood goes from dock to kitchen with no middleman.

Cioppino: The long-running signature. Crab, clams, mussels, fish, and shrimp in a tomato broth.
Lazy Man’s Cioppino: Same dish, all shellfish pre-cracked.
Crab Sandwich: Sourdough, fresh-cracked Dungeness, butter.
