The Layover
Aired on 01/09/2012
Episode: San Francisco
One of Tony's favorite places to eat in America, Swan Oyster Depot is a casual spot that's first-come, first-serve, so breakfast is the best time to come. Tony and chef Roland Passot order crab butter, oysters and sea urchins.

FourSquare Tips
Open only for lunch, Polk Street's old school joint still churns out the best crab, oysters and sourdough in town. [Eater 38 Member]
My favorite stop before or after a flight to load up on Dungeness crab & oysters. A classic west coast oyster bar. -Ana Sortun, Top Chef
This casual spot is a great place to enjoy fresh seafood. Its first come, first serve - so breakfast is often to best time to drop by. As seen on Travel Channel?s The Layover with Anthony Bourdain.
This San Fran landmark serves all its dishes cold (except for the rainy-day staple, clam chowder). Knock back oysters on your lunch break and chat up the cooks for secrets of the century-old spot.
7x7's Big Eat 2012 says the cracked dungeness crab is delicious. Yum!
Wow, the oysters on the half shell are great...they're #18 on 7x7's Big Eat SF 2010.

Try the Boston Clam Chowder and spot it on Foodspotting!
Kelly and Christy love the Dungeness Crab Louie and the incredibly fresh oysters that they order with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc. There is only bar seating and it?s hard to get a seat, so expect a line.
Get the clam chowder and then -- of course -- the oysters. Reconnect with the ocean.
