Hog Island Oyster Company

Slurp the bounty of the North Bay with East Bay views at this local, sustainable oyster bar. Get them raw, grilled with chipotle-bourbon butter, or Rockefeller (cooked with spinach, Pernod and cream). Not the cheapest oysters in town, but consistently the best, with excellent local wines – hence the waits for seating. Stop by Hog Island's farmers-market stall 8am to 2pm Saturday.
