Darda Seafood Restaurant

Ginger Scallion Dungeness Crab

Live-tank crab cracked and tossed with fragrant ginger and scallion oil — the dish that defines the restaurant and earns the repeat visits

Salt and Pepper Shrimp

Shell-on shrimp fried to a crisp crust, tossed with green chiles and garlic — textbook execution of a Chinese seafood staple

Steamed Fish

Whole fish from the live tanks steamed with soy, ginger, and scallion oil — quality depends on the catch of the day but technique is consistent

Black Bean Sauce Clams

Manila clams stir-fried in fermented black bean sauce with a gentle heat — a reliable order that pairs well with steamed rice

Peking Duck

Halal Peking duck with pancakes and hoisin — a rare find in the Bay Area's halal dining landscape, though execution varies

Seafood Fried Rice

Wok-tossed rice with shrimp and vegetables — a solid table anchor but not the reason to come here
