Food Style? Seafood

The Pier Market Seafood Restaurant is one of the busiest eateries at Pier 39 in San Francisco. There's an efficient paging system for the hordes of people waiting to get in, but fortunately since I'm #ForeverAlone, I can walk straight in and sit at the bar. I've actually been here before, back in 2011 with Jimmy and Tony. I love company paid trips... teehee. I also love the free refills of root beer I get from many American establishments (though it's probably ruining my teeth.)

Pier Market Mixed Grill: Fresh Salmon, Fresh Swordfish and Shrimp Skewer
It's hard to go past the mixed grill, purely because of the variety you get. The swordfish and salmon have perhaps spent a little long on the grill, but they definitely pack some great flavour, all the regular tastes you find in good, fresh seafood. The swordfish is very enjoyable actually, the meat has more of a bite to it than most fish - it's almost like chicken. I think the salmon is a little over-seasoned, but it's still tasty and I'm happy to have a slice of fresh San Francisco seafood. The shrimp is simple but flavoursome too, and again the grilling has brought out the natural sweet and saltiness, along with that smokey flavour you get from the hot plate.

At US$24, this was a solid, satisfying meal, but the New Zealand exchange rate at the time I had this was quite unfortunate. Don't forget to tip!
