Italian fishermen followed. They set up family stands along the beach selling crab and other seafood delicacies. You can still find fishermen and their boats along the piers in the early morning hours, but the area has changed into a place full of restaurants, shopping and family attractions. Fisherman's Wharf and San Francisco are famous for clam chowder served in a sourdough bread bowl.
