"Oyster lovers consider this no-frills Ventura Beach seafood truck the ideal place to pull up, order a bunch of local seafood, and hang out all day at the breezy picnic tables right by the ocean. The grilled oysters with habanero butter are a nonnegotiable; just know that it’s BYOB, so pack some beer and wine if it suits you." - Eater Staff, Mona Holmes
