Anchor Oyster Bar

Terry and Roseann Grimm have owned this Castro seafood spot and fish market for more than 40 years. It’s known for oysters, of course, as well as sustainably caught shellfish, crab, and fish. The starters are simple and classic, like salads topped with  shrimp, crabmeat, and prawns (or a combo of all three) or a perfect shrimp cocktail. The golden-brown crab cakes are served with house-made tartar; order it as an entree and it comes with a cup of Boston clam chowder. But the specialty is the the cracked Dungeness crab, available seasonally.
