Lunch at Joe's Crab Shack and The Crab Station

This week I paid a visit to San Francisco to spend time with a friend over lunch nearby Fisherman's Wharf. We decided in advance to go to Joe's Crab Shack for their steampots and drinks. Getting there around 11:30am, we were the first people to be seated. My friend and I sat at a table with a nice view of the harbor. While we looked through the menu I noticed they had housemade margaritas for $2 each so we both ordered that instead of the usual pina colada and their lobster daddy feast steampot with garlic herb seasoning ($34.99). My friend was very hungry and ordered an extra lobster on the side for $15.

The blue margarita was pretty stiff, but it is how I prefer my drinks. The steampot I ordered had very light flavors. I liked how there was a generous amount of snow crab and potatoes though the lobster seemed a bit smaller than the last time we went. The waiters were very friendly they checked in with us asking if we liked our meal and really overall we did. All in all, it was another nice experience dining at Joe's.

After a bit of walking we were hungry again. I really wanted some clam strips or fried calamari and couldn't make up my mind. Since we were nearby the crab stands we checked out the pricing for each of them and I decided to get a clam strips and fried calamari combo with fries for $12.00. The calamari was a very huge portion, freshly made lightly coated though the clam strips were thickly breaded and a little bit overly salty. I also liked the fries and the zesty dipping sauce. From where my friend and I sat outside by the docked boats there were a bit of seagulls flying around nearby so I had to keep a close eye on my food.

Having lunch and a predinner snack afterwards around Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco was another great experience.
