Hog Island Oysters, San Francisco by Don Sefton/Events Manager, Catering
If you are an oyster lover, when you come to San Francisco you must go to Hog Island Oyster. It is in the beautifully restored Ferry Terminal Building which has an amazing trove of local purveyors! But that is another story unto itself.
The servers are swift and friendly, but the oysters shine. We started with a dozen beautifully sweet and salty Hog Island Sweetwaters with a marvelous rice wine vinaigrette (photo top left).
Then we had a trio of 3 different broiled oysters (see photo bottom left): starting at top, going clockwise in the photo: citrus beurre, rosemary with shallots, and pesto.
They have a great little wine list, and it seemed like practically everyone was having wine or champagne at lunch. I had a fruity French rosé. The incredibly chewy rolls are from Acme Bakery. This place is a wonderful habit!
