What is the best seafood restaurant or restaurant that serves seafood among other foods, in San Francisco?

Friends from the UK are visiting and I need to show them what San Francisco has to offer (seafood and music particularly), preferably without putting a hole in our wallets.

While Gary Danko is an amazing experience it will put a huge hole in your wallet…worth every penny.

Here are my favorite places for seafood in SF.
Tadich Grill 240 California-The Original Cold Day Restaurant: An old boy’s kind of place that has been around since 1849. Great seafood, chops and sourdough. Stiff drinks, no reservations, but counter seats are first come first served.
Hays Street Grill 320 Hayes at Gough. Fresh fish shines at this neighborhood favorite. They specialize in grilling fish and then serving it with your choice of sauces that only enhance the taste of the fish and shellfish.
Farallon on Post between Mason and Powell, a good and slightly more expensive seafood restaurant. If you are on a budgert visit for one drink and enjoy the ambiance, like having cocktails in an underwater garden.
