The world is my oyster

I am totally in love with the Hog Island Oyster Company. Whenever we go we order 3 dozen sweetwater oysters, and we always secretly count how many the other has had to make sure we each get our share of 18 oysters apiece. Today he gave me his last oyster. That's love.

Hog Island has a limited but good wine list (mostly white wine, champagne and sake) and a delicious and very focused menu. If you are looking for oysters, clam chowder or an unbelievable 3 cheese grilled sandwich, this is the place. They feature one special a day and it's gotten to the point where I don't even ask what it is - I just order it. Today it was grilled sardine crostini on top of a fennel salad. Yum!

I love Hog Island, but I've only been to their other location a bit north from here.

jealous, jealous, jealous - I love oysters but live too far from the sea. Husband has taken up scuba though, so at some point in the not too distant future we will live by the sea and he had just damn better learn how to find oysters.

Bookmole, it's very nice to see you way back here. If I could get my husband to fetch fresh oysters from the sea himself I'd have him in a wetsuit before you could say "pirates of the carribean." But that, I'm afraid, will never happen. ;-)

Don't let him - unless you want to be a scuba widow! Though there are advantages - fresh scallops are one of them. Long weekends without him are too, and so is the getting him back!
