Fresh oysters, local seafood, grilled specials & clam chowder


























"I’d order oysters at Hog Island Oyster Company in the Ferry Building Marketplace, recommended for fresh local shellfish." - Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman is a New York-based writer and editor who specializes in travel, lifestyle, food, and shopping content.

"More casual affairs include sliding into a barstool at Hog Island Oyster Co. in Oxbow Public Market for a platter of west coast bivalves served with their wildly addictive Hogwash mignonette." - Jillian Dara

"With Hog Island restaurants in Napa, San Francisco, and Larkspur, it’s easier than ever to get a taste of West Marin. But the original Hog Island in Marshall is the only location with the Hog Shack, your go-to for oyster and picnic supplies to go, and the Boat Oyster Bar, the full-service outdoor restaurant. Make a reservation — these picnic tables are highly sought-after — then revel in the seafood specials and raw and barbecued oysters that helped make this spot a must-visit." - Christina Mueller


"I learned that Hog Island Oyster Company is struggling with higher costs and safety delays: co-founder John Finger told SFGATE he's paying double what he normally would for oysters, companies must wait roughly five days after the rain ends to ensure oysters are safe to consume, and “when you have this much rain in a short period of time, it’s really hard to manage,” so “we just do the best we can.”" - Paolo Bicchieri

"Napa is a short drive from some of the country's best oyster beds, so it's worth taking a break from all of the farm-to-table vegetables to check out the offerings from the nearby ocean. If you have time, head over to Point Reyes National Seashore and stop at their oyster farm for a taste of the bounty fresh out of the ocean."
