We've been to Hog Island Oyster Co. about a half dozen times and love it. Despite its $8 per person picnic cost, it's convenient because you're provided a shucker, glove, hot sauce, lemons and their "hog wash" mignonette to shuck your own oysters. They also have an oyster bar that shucks it for you for about $2 an oyster, and sells alcohol, bread, and cheese.
So after a couple hours of letting Shadow run on Dillon Beach, we built up an appetite and drove twenty minutes down Highway 1 to shuck our own oysters. I didn't take any pictures because it's not really exciting, it's just a bag of raw oysters and my hands were busy shucking anyways. We bought a bag of 50 extra smalls ($35) and an additional dozen smalls sweetwaters ($12) with some bread, Mt. Tam cheese and a glass of Domaine Chandon Rose. The weather held up and it was a perfect cool, sunny 60 degree afternoon in Marshall. It can be a windy trek to make it out here, but if you love oysters, I'd recommend coming out to enjoy the view, the atmosphere and the oysters.
