Executive Chef Adolfo Soto has been with Simco Restaurants since 1996. Adolfo started his career with Real Restaurants as a line cook for Fog City Diner. During his six-year tenure with them, he worked at some of the best restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area, including Bix, Bistro Roti, and Buckeye Roadhouse. Adolfo started with us at Pier Market Seafood Restaurant, then moved over to Dante’s Restaurant where he served as head chef for 3 years. In 2001, Simco Restaurants purchased Chic’s Seafood, and Adolfo was promoted to executive chef, his dream come true. After a complete renovation, Chic’s was transformed into the establishment that is now known for the best seafood in San Francisco, Fog Harbor Fish House.

For those who are trying to choose which seafood restaurants in San Francisco to dine in – here are a few things that set the best restaurants apart from other seafood restaurants in San Francisco.
Fresh Seafood is Always in Season
Being on the coast, there are certain seasons for seafood. San Francisco is famous for having certain types of seafood by season, and the best restaurants in San Francisco, including PIER 39 restaurants, serve only the freshest catch. The most famous is Dungeness crab season which opens in November and lasts until about March depending on how that season is going with whales and certain spawning that can happen in the nearby waters. Another popular local seafood is halibut which comes into season from April through August. There is of course the ever-popular salmon that can be caught and served most often from May through October.
If you are starting to plan your seafood restaurant visits based on season, we fully support your thinking. The best restaurants in San Francisco serve fresh local seafood and change their menus seasonally to reflect the best fish available.
San Francisco’s Most Cherished Traditions
Another thing to look for when choosing the best seafood in San Francisco is the variety of dishes and the cooking techniques. For a true San Francisco seafood restaurant experience you will likely want to try famous San Francisco-style seafood like clam chowder in a sourdough bread bowl, Dungeness crab, and seafood cioppino. To taste the best seafood in San Francisco you’ll also want to order dishes that are simply prepared so you can taste the freshness and the flavor of the seafood itself. For instance, a fresh piece of salmon simply grilled with minimal sauce will allow you to appreciate the best seafood the Bay Area has to offer.
The best seafood in San Francisco can be found at restaurants that receive fresh fish deliveries daily and cut that whole fish into portions before cooking them masterfully and serving them soon thereafter right to your table. Many of these eateries can be found in the PIER 39 restaurants as they are right on the water and know their guests value local fresh seafood. Of the well-known PIER 39 San Francisco restaurants, Fog Harbor Fish House, Pier Market Seafood Restaurant, and Crab House receive and cut fresh fish deliveries daily.
