Behind every great meal is a great cook, and the seafood delights and superstar chef at Pier 39’s beloved Fog Harbor Fish House are no exceptions. After all, when you’re crafting culinary treats for an institution that’s been wowing diners for more than two decades, you’d better know your stuff. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at Fog Harbor and the San Francisco chef responsible for creating our 100% sustainable seafood dishes.
Responsible Craftsmanship
Did you know that Fog Harbor Fish House is the first establishment on Fisherman’s Wharf to become a 100% sustainable seafood restaurant? Back in 2012, we initiated our pledge to preserve the ocean and its fisheries.
As proud as we are of that sustainability achievement, we’re even more committed to upholding high standards when it comes to the taste and presentation of our menu items. That’s where Chef Adolfo Soto comes in.
Savory Sustainability
As a member of our restaurant group since 1996, Chef Adolfo has honed his skill for decades and sought to bring nothing short of excellence to Fog Harbor’s offerings. From delicious starters like our Mussel Fries and Crab and Avocado Caesar Salad to delectable main courses such as Seared Scallop & Crab Risotto and House Specialty Garlic Roasted Whole Dungeness Crab, Chef Adolfo is a top San Francisco chef when it comes to creating a perfect partnership between sustainability and savoriness.
More Than Just Views
While Fog Harbor is known for its huge windows that overlook the breathtaking Fisherman’s Wharf and harbor, it’s not just the spectacular scenic views that draw diners in droves. With the iconic Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz as his backdrops, Chef Adolfo still manages to make the restaurant’s seafood the star. Each day’s delivery of freshly caught fish is cooked masterfully, ready to be enjoyed with a perfectly paired wine in a setting that is second to none.
Upholding Traditions
Although it takes creativity to craft seafood delicacies to please every taste, San Francisco Chef Adolfo and the team at Fog Harbor never overlook the classics. That’s why you’ll always find traditional local favorites on offer at our sustainable seafood restaurant.
Take our award-winning Clam Chowder, for example, which has received the People’s Choice Award for best clam chowder. Served in a cup, bowl, or our Fresh House-Baked Sourdough Bread Bowl, this timeless treat has been wowing visitors to the city by the bay since the mid-1800s. Pair this soup with other classics like Steamed Clams and Cioppino, and you’ll soon understand why Chef Adolfo and Fog Harbor are such treasured Pier 39 institutions.
