Woodhouse Fish Company

We've been to Woodhouse Fish Company three or four times since moving back to SF. Obviously, it's a favorite. The three top dishes are definitely the lobster rolls, clam chowder, and deep fried Ipswitch clams.

Here's a mega lobster roll, which is enough for two to share. Everyone who's tried it says it's the best lobster roll they've tasted on the west Coast. The sandwich is a soft french roll topped with a mountain of unbroken, sweet, chunks of lobster claw in a mayo dressing. It must be an exceedingly heavy meal, but doesn't taste heavy at all.

The steamed mussels are cooked in what can only be described as a generous amount of white wine. J was tipsy after imbibing on the liquor with copious amounts of garlic bread.

The artichoke with dungeness crab and rock shrimp was disappointing, served with a lackuster slice of watermelon. Stick with the crowd favorites at Woodhouse; they never disappoint the way this did!

The Lobster Roll looks a bit EXTREME... but it looks like they got the bun right! :D I think we're going to have to make a trek up there soon! :) Is it hard to get in?

I don't think they take reservations, but we've never had trouble getting a table. It's a very casual restaurant, small restaurant. One warning: they have $1 oysters during happy hour on Tuesdays, so if it were to get crowded I bet that would be the day.

You took the pictures with your bb camera? They came out really good. - C

Yeah, the Blackberry takes surprisingly good photos as long as there's bright sunlight. Any hint of a shadow and quality decreases significantly, however. I'll show a sample of the differences later!

I really think if you tried to eat a mega lobster roll and then a full sized Pearl's Burger in a row, you would die.
