    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/AliotoL...) - 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/crabhou...) - 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/HP...) - 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. 😃

    No matter all the changes in the world and my life these past two years, his videos have always been something I can fall back onto, take some time to just sit back and experience different parts of the world, with such an energetic, respectful and charming host, while I munch on some instant noodles!
    Seriously, Mark is the only personality I can stand for these types of videos.
    I've had this as my little ritual for about four years now, first being introduced to the channel with the giant oyster in japan in 2017, and hopefully will be for many years to come!
    Best wishes from the UK!

    We are lucky to have eaten in Thanh Long Restaurant since it's earliest days. We are unlucky that we haven't been able to do that as often as we would like. 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 TH-cam a few years ago.
    Our best wishes to you and your family Mark. We love having you in our lives. My wife and I are both 88 so traveling has become extremely local.

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.

And the Vietnamese way with alot of spice which I'm accustomed to since my dad's cooking was spicy! He's gone now but the food memories are still alive. Loved Monique's story about her mom. Everything looked so tantalizing. Thanks Mark for traveling around the world so we can get to meet the chefs behind the great food! Really enjoy the videos!

If you add a protein, it's good too, but it kinda gets pricey, so I just go for the garlic noods by themselves!
