Woodhouse Fish Co.

Brothers Dylan and Rowan MacNiven opened up the original Woodhouse location in the Castro with their dad in 2006. Three years later, they followed up with a second outpost on Fillmore. With its white marble bar, wood accents, and understated nautical theme, Woodhouse bridges the gap between a stuffy fine dining restaurant and a no-frills seafood counter. It’s hard to go wrong on a menu devoted to seafood, but we recommend the buttery Maine lobster roll, loaded with tender meat, and the Dungeness crab linguini, which is slick with sea urchin butter and white wine and garnished with applewood-smoked bacon. Drop in on Tuesdays, when locally-sourced oysters are $1 apiece.
