Fresh oysters, crudo, lobster rolls, and wine pairings
"The Salty Pearl makes the case that every day should be a casual wine and oyster day (though, they’re only open four days a week). At this seafood restaurant in Jack London Square, you’ll eat oysters that are fresh as hell, crudo covered in citrusy, herb-infused olive oil, and clams casino overflowing with bacon. There’s also a great cold lobster roll that’s way more meat-packed than the average lobster roll, and a burger dripping with cheese. Still, you’re coming here for those bivalves and crudo, and to spend time with some pet nat in a space that feels like a tasteful nautical clubhouse, complete with a smooth playlist and lots of natural light." - lani conway, julia chen 1

"The Salty Pearl makes the case that every day should be a casual wine and oyster day (though, they’re only open three days a week). This seafood spot (previously named Rocky Island Oyster Co.) used to be located on the waterfront in Richmond. At this new Jack London location, you’ll eat oysters that are fresh as hell, crudo covered in citrusy, herb-infused olive oil, and clams casino overflowing with bacon. There’s also a great cold lobster roll that’s extra meat-packed, and a burger dripping with cheese. Still, you’re coming here for those bivalves and crudo, and to spend time with some pet nat in a space that feels like a tasteful nautical clubhouse, complete with a smooth playlist and lots of natural light." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
"After the abrupt closure of its Richmond space in 2023, Rocky Island Oyster Co. is back in a new Oakland home under a new moniker, the Salty Pearl. There are plenty of oysters to be slurped, of course, including varieties from the East and West Coast, plus a barbecue option. But the menu expands beyond just oysters with a radicchio Caesar salad, lobster roll, steamed mussels, and a burger. A selection of mostly European wines is available by the glass or bottle, perfect for pairing with seafood." - Dianne de Guzman
