    Oysters, oysters, oysters! Its also a picnic area where you can bring what ever you want and barbecue. Table is something like 5$, just it can be busy. You can also get charcoal, knives, sauces.

    Buy a bag of fresh oysters, lemon,sauce and shucking knives; BYOB for a great day outdoors. The picnic area is closed now but there are a few benches around and picnic areas nearby.

    Cash only! Oysters only! If you want beer - bring with you! If you want food other then oysters - bring with you! If you want drinks - well you know. It is oysters only and in the middle of nowhere

    A little more rustic than Hog Island. Buy your oysters and shuck them at the picnic tables by the bay. I THINK BYOB.

    There's new ownership now and the new owner is more, shall I say, enterprising. You have to pay tips for valet parking and a $5 per person to use the picnic table. All those used to be free. :(

    Get here early if it's nice weather or the weekend. The clams and mussels are huge and make for a great change of pace.

    The vibe is great. Be sure to come early to get a table or make a reservation if you have a party larger than 10 people.

    Oysters and mussels. Get there early though and be prepared to wait. Bring other food to grill as well.

    An incredible day spent out here. Bring the wine, BBQ food, and a great appetite. Going in the Fall and Winter will promise better table availability.

    They sell oysters/knives, first come outdoor tables/grills. You bring everything else (charcoal, booze, etc). Barter w/ others. Come early on wknds (full by 11am). Cheaper, more relaxed vs Hog Island.

    Oysters are delicious but don't forget to keep them on ice. Otherwise it's gonna be a long drive home.
