EAT HERE: BILLINGSGATE
If you love seafood there is one new spot in San Francisco you’ll want to explore Billingsgate on 24th St. on the sunny side of town in Noe Valley. This fab, fish market has it all. The daily catch as well as crab, lobster, oyster and more. It’s packed to the gills with all your culinary tools, jams, sides plus brews & vino for a picnic or seafood party. Stay for lunch and enjoy the crudo, the raw bar or the yummy seafood salads. The happy hour from 3pm -5pm offers 50% off oysters & cava- now that’s a deal and a catch!
