  When you see the line of people waiting to get in you have arrived. Swan's Oyster Depot is quintessential San Francisco, with its no-frills decor, highlighted by old family photographs on the wall and defined by the long marble bar that diners get served on. Run for several generations by the Sancimino family, this place specializes in one thing: seafood at its very freshest. Some of their specialties include Crab Louie salad, seafood cocktails, oysters and delicious chowder. Wash it all down with an Anchor Steam or a cool glass of wine while you listen to the banter of the brothers who serve you.
