I have been wanting to have clam chowder at Fisherman's Wharf since 1993. I went there for the first time summer 94 and because I was with a tour - we had very limited time to go eat everything that looks delicious. My friends and I ended up having steamed crabs instead. Although that was really pretty good, I told myself that I was going to come back to Fisherman's Wharf again and have one big clam chowder in a sourdough 'bowl'.
I went to San Francisco the second time in summer 99. Again we went to Fisherman's Wharf for some touristy stuff. Unforunately none of my travel companions were the gourmet type and we ended up having MacDonald's. That was not even remotely good - I told myself that next time when I come back to Fisherman's Wharf I am determined to come with a like-minded company and we will go have clam chowder.
Between that and now I got married and my husband Nelson is similarily a seafood fan. We flied into San Francisco this afternoon (after a flight delay of 2 hours) and after checking into our hotel we straight away went out to Pier 39 hoping to fultill my decade long dream. We ended up having dinner at this place called Bubba Gump Shrimps. We ordered this 'shrimper's heaven' which has sauted shrimps, tempura shrimps, chilly shrimps and coconut shrimps. They were really yummy but now I am all shrimped out! I did order a bowl of chowder but it comes in a ceremic bowl. So - have to have more chowder tomorrow. Well we are in San Francisco for 3 nights - I am pretty sure my dream will come true.
