For starters, we ordered six half dozen oysters from the oyster bar: “Belon” Bestcott Bay, Beau Soleil, Effingham, Hog Island “Sweet Water,” Marin Atlantic, and Miyagi. The last three all being from Point Reyes, CA, I wanted to taste the difference. Alas, the Beau Soleil and Effingham were my favorites. And though these six were slightly brinier than the creamier oysters I prefer, they were all wonderfully fresh and delicious.
