History
Swan Oyster Depot first opened in early 1890s as the Cable Oyster Depot. Founded by the Lausten family, who were immigrants from Denmark, the shop, started as a purveyor of shellfish from Fisherman's Wharf. In 1946, Sal Sancimino and Pat La Rocca bought Swan Oyster Depot from the Laustens.

Currently they have a legendary selection of fresh, never frozen, seafood. Primarily shellfish but also carry some fresh fish varieties. Their menu features oysters, but also has shrimp and clam chowder.
