If you’ve never had the pleasure of trying mesquite-grilled seafood at an iconic San Francisco restaurant, you should visit Pier Market Seafood Restaurant on Pier 39. The timeless cooking method of mesquite grilling involves cooking over mesquite charcoal, which seals in the natural juices of the food and adds a distinct, smoky flavor to the dish.

Smoky Goodness Straight from the Grill

Some of our popular mesquite-grilled seafood dishes combine the flavors of the San Francisco Bay with smokiness from the mesquite charcoal. Our Teriyaki Salmon features a grilled salmon filet glazed with teriyaki sauce for a hit of sweet-salty umami, tempered by a wedge of lemon and potatoes and veggies on the side.

If you’re looking for a more diverse mesquite seafood experience at our restaurant, try the Pier Market Mixed Grill. Sample fresh salmon, Pacific cod, and a shrimp skewer so you can try a bit of everything with that signature mesquite flavor.

Locally Sourced, Always Fresh

Pier Market Seafood Restaurant has been committed to serving fresh, high-quality food since opening its doors over 40 years ago. This has meant sourcing seafood caught right in the bay outside our windows and using produce grown locally.

We were one of the first restaurants on Fisherman’s Wharf to be San Francisco Green Business Certified and one of Surfrider Foundation’s Ocean Friendly Restaurants. Our commitment to delicious food is only matched by our environmental initiatives.
