Hog Island Oyster Company A-

Located at the aforementioned Ferry Building, this small oyster bar/seafood counter features Happy Hour specials every Monday and Thursday from 5-7, with $1 oyster specials and $2.50 pints of beer.

Raw oysters are an aquired taste, but must be my favorite taste experience in the world. And they must be had fresh, so don't attempt your first raw oyster in the buffet at the Monte Carlo or in Manila... get it from a trusted oyster shucker. The oyster of the day is the $1 special and it varies from day to day, but can always be trusted to be GOOD. We shared 24 oysters, two beers (I.P.A and Hef) and the free sourdough bread, all for about $30 dollars! The service is brisk, namely because of the special, and the lines really back up right at 5, so try to get there a little early if you can. Squeeze a little lemon onto the oyster and you'll be good to go, trust me.
