    SAN FRANCISCO - Welcome to San Francisco, California, and when it comes to eating, the king of all foods is the Dungeness crab. Today, we’re going on a Dungeness crab food tour in San Francisco. We’ll start at a local fish market, then to the popular tourist pier 39, and finish with legendary garlic Dungeness crab and garlic noodles.
    Again, thank you to Visit California (and Visit San Francisco) for sponsoring my trip.

    Alioto Lazio Fish Co (g.page/AliotoLazioFishCo?share) - To begin this Dungeness crab tour in San Francisco we started with a trip to Alioto Lazio Fish Co, a generations-old family run seafood distributor. Among other seafoods, what they are most known for is Dungeness crab that you can buy live. They also offer small cups of pre shelled crab that you can taste test. It was a good way to begin this tour.
    Crab House at Pier 39 (g.page/crabhouseatpier39?share) - Next up, just down the road we headed over to Pier 39, probably the most famous of all places in all of San Francisco. Yes, it’s touristy, but it’s really nice and a great place to walk around, and of course to see the colony of California sea lions. For lunch we headed over to Crab House at Pier 39, a restaurant that of course focuses on Dungeness crab. Their famous dish is Dungeness crab served on a smoking iron skillet. The crab is roasted in butter, bathed in a secret spice sauce mixture, and drizzled in white wine tableside to smoke on the hot iron. The crabs were fantastic, sweet, and naturally delicious.
    Thanh Long Restaurant (goo.gl/maps/HPVbjseiG2kdNdNc6) - The Dungeness crab restaurant I was most looking forward to trying was Thanh Long Restaurant, a legendary Vietnamese American restaurant that was one of the first Vietnamese restaurants in San Francisco. It was amazing to hear a little behind the scenes of how the restaurant got started. The roasted crab and garlic noodles recipes are top secret - really a guarded family secret and they even have a secret kitchen to make them in where only family members are allowed. Their crabs are amazing, so garlicky and peppery, and then combined with the most addictive garlic noodles you’ve ever had in your life - it’s a heavenly combination.
    And that completes this Dungeness crab tour in San Francisco!

    I'm from the SF Bay Area and growing up my mom used to make seafood gumbo during Dungeness crab season -- THE best crab I've ever had. Actually my mom's signature dish was really a hybrid of a traditional Louisiana (her birthplace) gumbo and a San Francisco cioppino. Oooh, I miss her cooking.

      Mark Wiens, I very passionately enjoy these seafood videos. I eat alot of seafood myself because they are just too GOD DAM delicious. And also insanely addictively fun to eat too. Seafood > steaks/meats because they always have variety to them. There is literally never a dull moment with seafood ever to be honest. And on top of that, there are quite a bit of different combinations of drinks, toppings & of course condiments that go beautifully & eloquently well with seafood. Seafoods are hands down 1 of the greatest creations of mother nature. 😃

    As a San Franciscan, I m so thrilled to see Mark Wein featuring our amazing belove city to the world.. Unfortunately the pandemic has especially hit the touristy areas like Fisherman's Wharf and pier 39 the hardest. This area used to be packed with people all over. But now it look almost like a ghost town. Lots of stores are still closed or no longer in business. Just sad and heartbroken to see such an amazing place look so deserted. Thanks Mark for putting our amazing city back on the map. Hopefully everything will be back to normal once again.🙏🙏🙏

    Thanks for sharing Mark. I recognised a number of places in San Francisco where I had visited back in late 2016. I even recognised the little stall where I purchased some pearls for my wife and daughters. Many thanks again. I remember buying some crabs in San Francisco, which I took back to my sister's home, only to be told by my nephew who is a doctor, that I should not risk eating the crabs due to some sort of algae that had poisoned the flesh. As I was flying back to Australia in four days, I though that discretion was the better part than valour, and had to dump the crabs. I had waited almost a lifetime to get to San Francisco just to eat those crabs. I left the USA thinking to myself, that had I become an undertaker, people would stop dying.

    The thing about dungeness crabs is that they are so easy to peel and there is so much meat on them. The shells are thin and the meat has such a fantastic texture. They're the ones I eat most often, although I wouldn't say they're the tastiest crab.

We were also lucky to live in Bangkok (1968-1970) and unlucky that we have never had the chance to go to Vietnam or back to Bangkok. Even so, I'm very happy that Mark visited Thanh Long Restaurant, and very happy that I found Mark and RUclips a few years ago.

    Hi Mark and Ying: My wife and I love your videos. Back in the 1950's, my father use to stop at the corner bar here in Milwaukee every payday and pick up four Dungeness crabs for our family. Believe it or not, they only cost a quarter each back then. When the bar's raised the price to 30 cents each my father told us if they got any higher in price he would stop buying them. Take care, Steve and Jayne, Fox Point, Wisconsin

    Garlic noodles are a Vietnamese take on Italian pasta e burro. Very San Francisco natural fusion kind of thing. I hope you tackle mission burritos before you leave SF. I lived there most of my life and the big burritos were a staple food for most of the locals, and now have spread around the world.

I’m not saying Beverley Hills is bad because it’s not…but it’s not SF. When you eat those crabs…don’t be dignified really get after it because it is simply messy goodness! Don’t miss out on finger licking goodness being cute 😂 Mark THANK YOU. This is close to my old home town! ❤️✌🏾
