In an effort to draw more tourists to the wharf, which saw numerous business closures during the pandemic, the city is demolishing historic seafood restaurant Alioto's to make way for a new public plaza. A wave of new restaurants is also opening on Jefferson Street, including Taco Bell Cantina, Raising Cane's, Everett & Jones barbecue, South American eatery Chasca Rio and the revival of historic seafood restaurant Castagnola's.
If you find yourself in need of a seafood recommendation in Fisherman's Wharf, chances are you'll be directed to the Codmother Fish & Chips food truck, where a humble, affordable basket of battered fried fish will instantly win you over. For nearly 15 years, the popular San Francisco food truck has been a favorite among tourists and locals alike, who make a point to stop by its permanent location at the corner of Jones and Beach streets for a basket of classic fish-and-chips.
