"For an oyster-focused celebration I’d pick up Hog Island’s California-grown sweetwaters live by the dozen—small enough for slurping raw or large enough for brushing with chipotle-bourbon butter and throwing on the grill—and add cleaned, cracked Dungeness and caviar to make it a full fish feast." - Becky Duffett
