Anchor Oyster Bar
We are a small locally owned seafood restaurant and fish market in the Castro. Owned and operated by the same owner since 1977, San Francisco's one-and-only Anchor Oyster Bar has been serving fresh sustainably caught fish, shellfish, crab, and delicious simply prepared seafood dishes for over 30 years. Anchor serves the Bay Area's favorite clam chowder (San Francisco Chronicle) and the best oysters on the West coast (Coastal Living Magazine). Check us out on the third season of Check Please Bay Area!
