Perched on a busy corner of Market Street, Woodhouse Fish Co. is a New England seafood lover's dream, serving authentically prepared lobster rolls, crab cakes, clam chowder, and fish-and-chips in an unfussy dining room of weathered wood and nautical decor. Winter time is Dungeness crab season, and you'll find it scattered across a Louie salad or just served plain. Come in Tuesday afternoons for West Coast oysters at a $1 each; it's a terrific deal, and you'll be elbow to elbow with locals happily slurping away. If you're in Pacific Heights, there is second branch on Fillmore St. Open Sun-Thurs 11:30 a.m. - 10 p.m., Fri-Sat 11:30 a.m. - 10:30 p.m.
