It's easy to find a seafood restaurant on Fisherman's Wharf that will serve you the catch-of-the-day and then bring you a hefty bill. As in most tourist destinations, often it pays to steer clear of places that cater mostly to the uninitiated out-of-towner and look for places favored by locals. It doesn't take a lot of effort to do so. Search "San Francisco seafood bargains" and you'll find a restaurant in the Mission District with the distinctive name Weird Fish. It's listed in the highly useful sfgate.com directory. Here's one of many places to enjoy seafood and vegan food entries without spending a small fortune.
