Join us for our Love Local Hog Island Oyster Palooza! Hog Island harvests its Sweetwater and Highwater oysters and delivers them fresh to Bianchini’s — shucked to order. Sweetwaters, grown in Tomales Bay, bring a medium texture and mild brine with a slightly sweet, smoky finish. Highwaters, from Humboldt Bay, offer a medium texture and light brine with an earthy finish. It’s the same oyster many local specialty restaurants insist on.
