Sea Change

(blog)

Butchers are having their day, but what about the age-old profession of the fishmonger?

It’s not a secret that chefs aren’t the only rock stars in San Francisco’s food world.

A proper groupie will swoon over a butcher, a baker, a bartender, a barista. Even a pickler here has a fighting chance if the tattoos are right. Roll your eyes, but this fanaticism has encouraged a younger generation to re-embrace old-world trades.

Anchor & Hope, from the team that brought us Salt House and Town Hall, docks downtown.

If you're opening a restaurant, one of the most important pieces of the puzzle is tapping into what diners want. Sounds obvious, but satisfying the desires of the fickle masses is no mean feat. Front-of-the-house man Doug Washington and chefs (and brothers) Mitchell and Steve Rosenthal have nailed it thus far: Their first restaurants, Town Hall and Salt House, remain two of the city's most beloved, owing to approachable menus that have such duh-it's-delicious dishes as fried chicken, braised short ribs and crispy shrimp.

The dynamic trio behind Salt House and Town Hall (Doug Washington and Mitchell and Steve Rosenthal) are at it again.

Here, Doug Washington (the front-of-the-house man) dishes on the new spot.

Yoshi's: A True Taste of Japan (in SF)

At Yoshi's, Chef Shotaro Kamio brings a true taste of Japan to San Francisco.

At Yoshi's, Chef Shotaro Kamio brings a true taste of Japan to San Francisco.

To call Yoshi’s ambitious would be a gross understatement: The $10 million project that has done much to revitalize the Fillmore is nothing short of a tour de force. As at the Oakland original, there’s a nightly performance, in both the club and the restaurant, where chef Shotaro Kamio, impeccable in his white jacket, presides over a huge open kitchen and 35 cooks (many of them transplants from the East Bay outpost) working with near robotic precision.

Lunch at Campton Place.

Lunch at Campton Place.Campton Place has a reputation for being one of the city’s pricier dining destinations, but the daily “business lunch” option is surprisingly light on the wallet and the palate. The two-course, $26 lunch, introduced by chef Peter Rudolph in February, has the trappings of luxury at a fraction of the price. Though the selections change weekly, you could be greeting the noon hour with sashimi topped with blood-orange sorbet followed by slow-roasted veal breast.

Weird Fish

Something's fishy in the Mission.

Something's fishy in the Mission.With a name like Weird Fish, you’d expect this new Mission spot to have a wacky interior and an even wackier menu. Instead, the cozy restaurant is tame: A mermaid beckons from the door, and the narrow, dimly lit dining room is decked out with mirrors in heavy frames, chandeliers and a dark wooden bench running along one side. As for the menu, think New England. There’s clam chowder, as well as mini cocktails of Dungeness crab to start.
