Fresh, Sustainable Seafood at Scoma's, a San Francisco Dining Landmark at Fisherman's Wharf


Down a nondescript alley in Fisherman's Wharf sits a famed San Francisco dining landmark that has been in operation for 50 years. Scoma's Restaurant - located at its own private dock on the water - specializes in fresh, sustainable seafood. This family-owned and operated restaurant compiles with the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch Program, whose mission is to "empower consumers and businesses to make choices for a healthy ocean."

Butternut Squash Soup ($6/cup, $8/bowl)


While an unlikely start at a seafood restaurant, the Butternut Squash Soup is an absolute must. This healthy, vegan option is a creamy puree of butternut squash topped with fall vegetable, lemon zest, and crispy sage with a drizzle of olive oil on top. You will be licking the bowl to get the last bit of this amazing soup.

Spinach Salad ($11) and Beet Salad ($9)


The refreshing duo of the Blomsdale 'Curly' Spinach Salad and the Organic Roasted Beet Salad is the perfect way to ramp up your appetite. The fresh spinach is tossed in aged balsamic vinaigrette with warm, crispy polenta croutons, spring onion tops, garden herbs, and shaved parmesan, while the salt roasted red and golden beets are complemented by creamy avocado slices and orange with a drizzle of aged balsamic and fresh, grated horseradish.

Grilled Wild King Salmon ($34) and Seared Atlantic Cod ($32)


The entrees highlight fresh, local, and seasonal seafood. The Grilled Wild King Salmon is topped with lightly fried, julienne zucchini with sweet corn underneath. The Seared Atlantic Cod features beautiful golden beet salad and micro greens on top with savory wild mushroom reduction at the bottom.
