Dungeness crab is the crustacean king of San Francisco but we have a soft spot for lobster too.

Sam’s Chowder House
This sprawling, consistently packed Half Moon Bay destination along Highway One is known for three things: gorgeous Pacific Ocean views, chowder and lobster rolls. Indeed, the buttery oversized chunks of lobster fill a griddled bun that can’t hold most of the meat after the first bite.
