Fisherman's Wharf is a neighborhood located in San Francisco's north-east corner. Back in the day Fisherman's Wharf used to be the area where fishermen settled and fished for Dungeness Crab. Although it is still used as a port for many of San Francisco's fisherman and their fleet, the area has mainly been redeveloped into a tourist attraction, attracting many people from all over the country.

Walking into Fisherman's Wharf you start to see your usual tourist traps. Small stores selling cameras, t-shirts, mugs with "I <3 SF", museums, and...an In N Out Burger? Walk even further and you start to see pasta houses, seafood restaurants, and crab stalls that have been handed down from generation to generation.
If you're an avid seafood lover, there is no way you can turn down the idea of eating fresh seafood along the bay. Seafood freshly caught hours beforehand, boiled, broken down, and served with nothing more than cocktail sauce and lemon. Heaven.
The Crab Station is one of four crab stalls lining an indescript street along Fisherman's Wharf. On this evening I decided to try their crab and shrimp cocktail. The seafood was amazingly fresh and cold, and the cocktail sauce perfect. The tomato threw me off a little as it was not needed. But all in all, a great snack to have before walking the rest of the Wharf.

Grab a beer. Have a seat. Eat some seafood. Sounds like a good evening to me.
