Fodor's Expert Review Scoma's

Ask locals where to eat at Fisherman's Wharf and you'll usually get a blank look, but the answer is this San Francisco classic that is undoubtedly the leader among its peers (or piers?). The Pier 47 spot was a coffee shop when brothers Al and Jay Scoma bought it in 1965 (the homey coffeehouse vibe still lingers around the retro-meets-contemporary space), and the restaurant continues to be a great stop for excellent fresh fish and seafood preparations.
