Read about the history of the Fisherman's Wharf here:

During the last quarter century, many restaurants have been established, with the traditional steaming crab cauldron in front of their place of business. Men in smocks attend the cauldrons, and still offer the visitors paper cups of fresh-cooked crab meat cocktails, or whole cooked crabs to take home. (Quoted from http://www.fishermanswharf.org/history)

In the early days of the fishing fleet, the homes of the Italian fishermen boasted the areas finest cuisine. But, even before there were any sidewalks or restaurants at Fisherman’s Wharf, some of the fishermen set up cauldrons of boiling water for cooking the freshly caught crabs, dispensing them in paper cups as a crab cocktail to be enjoyed by visitors.
