"Broad Street Oyster Co. isn’t just a great place to eat along PCH—it’s a destination worth braving gridlock traffic. The move at this counter-service spot inside the Malibu Country Mart is to come with a small group for a late lunch. That way, you’ll be able to order a bit of everything: oysters on the half shell, steamed mussels in brothy white wine sauce, maybe a cup or two of their excellent clam chowder. Just make sure to include their lobster roll. We like it served hot and smothered in butter, a luxurious sandwich that’s sure to impress even the pickiest of seafood eaters. Yes, we’re looking at you, New Englanders." - brant cox, sylvio martins
