I think Hog Island has some amazing oysters. I am pretty germophobic, so I know that these are farmed in Tamales bay. Hog Island's entire reputation relies on their oysters, so they cannot afford anybody getting sick. I know of people who have gotten deathly ill from raw oysters at 'seafood' restaurants. But Hog Island, however, can't afford that risk. Their oysters are awesome, and I feel very safe eating there. A nice beer and some oysters on a sunny day overlooking the SF bay, and I'm all set.
