Editorial Review

Hello sailor! Tiny whitewashed seafood joint on south end of the main drag. Been packing in Castro crowd and Japanese tourists at marble counter since '77 for swimmingly fresh bowls of Boston clam chowdah, fish stew, and Louis salads. Faint whiff of sea air not from stuffed sea bass on wall. Tablemates seduce with oysters on the half shell. Crab sandwich alone is worth the trip.
