This can't possibly get below five stars. It simply rocks. It's easily the best breakfast in San Francisco, and the staff is cool. It won GQ Magazine's Top 10 Breakfasts in America.

Next to the stand where Cap'n Mike sells their delicious smoked fishes, they also sell canapés with a varying selection of their own products. Tasty and reasonably priced, they are a great stand to a visit at the Saturday farmers market.

Tried the smoked salmon spread and let me tell you, this stuff is addicting. Super smoky, salmonly, creamy goodness that pairs perfectly with crackers. We went through a full tub in three 3 days. With some awesome people to boot behind the booth!

Walk to the back of the Ferry Building on Farmers Market days, pass through the produce stalls, and out back there's the best of the food the Ferry Building has to offer. Then, get as many of the options as you can. It's hard to imagine how good smoked salmon could be, but this is better. I actually prefer the sturgeon, but it doesn't matter. Get both. Their own cream cheese, Acme bread, freshest beets, tomatoes... just heaven.

The best smoked salmon sandwiches around, made with care and affection. Well worth the price.

These open faced smoked salmon and tuna sandwiches are what keep me coming back to the Ferry Plaza Farmer's Market! The presentation is beautiful, you know exactly what you're getting, and the colors all pop against the crisp blue sky and the Bay Bridge. It's as picturesque as it is delicious. My absolute favorite is the sockeye salmon, and when I found out I could add heirloom tomatoes on top, I was in heaven! There's nothing like fresh lemon and tomato slices adding a nice tart flavor to the savory salmon. The cream cheese and sourdough tie all the flavors together, making it the best way to start the weekend on a Saturday morning.

Simply delicious. The smoked salmon open sandwich on Acme bread with capers, lemon, and homemade cream cheese is just so good, and so good every time.
