a good seafood restaurant in san francisco will likely cost you money, but it will be worth it.

if you like crab and asian food, a really great place to go is Crustacean which you can take the cable car to on the california st. line (see citysearch san francisco for description).  their sister restaurant, Thanh Long, is a little cheaper b/c it's way out in the sunset district, but it's worth the trek.  that is also accessible via public transportation, the N Judah Muni line, so if you're staying downtown you can access it w/o an expensive taxi.

if you want a restaurant w/ a fairly good menu, Scoma's in Fisherman's wharf is a nice choice, but get reservations in advance.  they aren't so pricey, but they aren't cheap.

you can also buy crab and other fare at the fish market where vendors will have freshly cooked crab that they'll crack for you, but they will serve it to you at varying prices/lb.  the last time I was there was in the fall last year and they were charging $22/lb.  IMO, if you're going to pay that much at the curb, might as well go into the comforts of a good restaurant and spend a little more and get accompaniments w/ your meal :)
