Anchor Oyster Bar, San Francisco

This is the Yellowtail Snapper over fingerling potatoes with sauteed veggies at one of my favorite San Francisco eateries, the Anchor Oyster Bar in the Castro.

I endured a frenzied rush on a rainy night to make it from SFO before closing, which gives you and idea of how significant this eatery is...

I agonized briefly over the snapper, an eco-heinous choice, but yellowtail is significantly better than red snapper, so I gave it a shot.

The food here is beautifully done, fresh, minimally fussed over and always subtly seasoned and delicious.

Plus you can sit on the barstool that Harvey Milk used to perch on, and feel at one with history.
