Oakland
From the Chronicle article: "For one thing, the area sprawls, and some places -- like Tijuana, the bustling seafood place with its trademark bowls of radishes on every table -- lie outside the core."
"At Tijuana, up in the more Vietnamese stretch of International at 13th Avenue, seafood has been the thing for 40 years. Waitresses in tight, short skirts and ponytails deliver big bowls of caldo de mariscos "7 mares" to tables set with bowls of radishes, house-fried chips and two good salsas -- either roasted red chiles, or fresh -- and Tapatio and three other bottles of hot sauce. This is a popular dish, although the fish sometimes has a frozen taste.
"The mariscada Tijuana guisado de mariscos is the star of the show, a 14-inch share-with-a-group platter with green-lipped mussels, fresh crab, sweet scallop, octopus and shrimp, all tossed in a garlicky brown sauce that benefits from lime, salsas or hot sauces on each table. "
