Dungeness Crabs & Pier 39

San Francisco -  Lesley, Young Jin and I took the BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) from Pleasant Hill to San Francisco for lunch and it was more than an hour before we reach our restaurant for a good crab meal.   The place is Crab House at Pier 39.

the full menu of this restaurant
We ordered one hot plate of scrimps and mussels and 2 dungeness crabs.

scrimps and mussels
Dipping the scrimps and mussels into the pipping hot sauce was very good.   The scrimps and mussels are very fresh.

2 big baked Dungeness Crabs
This is the first time tasting baked Dungeness crabs - it is very delicious and the meat is succulent.

Close up of the crab
I was wondering why Young Jin was grinning and he finally confessed that he was competing silently eating as many Dungeness Crabs legs as he can.  Seeing that Lesley and I was taking our time to savour the freshness of this crab; he was racing away eating one leg after another.....

Sea Lion attraction @ Pier 39
Sea lions have external ear flaps; seals do not.   Male sea lions develop a bump or "crest" on their heads at four or five years of age.  California sea lions are known for their intelligence, playfulness and noisy barking.
