Hog Island Oyster Co: Fresh Seafood Delights in Napa, CA

Hog Island Oyster Co. never disappoints! I stopped in craving fresh oysters, and it delivered on every level. This location inside Oxbow Public Market is a perfect spot to grab a seat, relax, and enjoy some incredible seafood. We ordered a dozen Chelsea Gems, and they were outstanding -- clean, briny, and perfectly shucked. You can really taste the difference when they're this fresh. The Chelsea Gems had a beautiful balance of ocean salinity with a slightly sweet finish that kept us going back for the next one. I also had one of the most unbelievable Bloody Marys I've had in a long time. It was topped with Hog Island's famous Hog Wash -- that bright, vinegary mignonette with shallots and cilantro -- which added an amazing punch of flavor to the drink. It was a perfect match with the oysters. The vibe is classic waterfront energy -- lively but relaxed. It's the kind of place where you can take your time, lean into the experience and just enjoy good food done right. Service was friendly and efficient, even when busy. If you love oysters -- or think you might -- this is a must-stop. Fresh, simple, and consistently excellent.

Hog Island Oysters was a fantastic seafood stop on our tour of Wine Country. Quick service and delicious oysters made it a great experience overall. Absolutely would come back.

Such an awesome lunch spot. Oysters were some of the best and biggest we’ve ever had, and sitting at the counter you get to see them shuck the oysters and prepare all the other menu items. A great spot to stop for lunch if you have the time. We ordered a mix of grilled and regular oysters - the grilled chipotle oyster was one of the best things I’ve tasted.

OMG Raw oysters on the half shell! Amaaaaaaazing! My friend had the fish tacos and I had the deep fried oyster Po Boy. All the food was excellent and the sauces really complemented the fish tacos and the fried oyster sandwich. 2nd time there. And it is only my 2nd time in Napa and this place made my list twice! if you love great seafood, this is the place to go.

My favorite oyster spot in Napa! Everything we had, especially the oysters was top quality. The servers were super friendly and really informative, which made the experience even better. We enjoyed every single bite. Definitely coming back next time we’re in Napa!

Very nice place to get some very good oysters. The staff is friendly and professional. The clam chowder is my go to dish. So delicious!

Grilled oysters excellent. Happy hour wasn’t half price like it said online but discounted $4. I recommend them.

If you’re looking for fresh oysters this is your spot! We came here upon closing on a Saturday night located at the Oxbow public market and got seated at the bar. We originally came for restaurant month which includes 6 sweet water oysters, market salad, and half grilled cheese for $35 but they were out of the sandwiches. They didn’t have anything to substitute so we just went for the acme bread and butter, clam chowder, steamed mussels and clams and added pasta, and grilled oyster mix which came with 2 each of the flavored grill oysters. I was impressed with the clam chowder and the amount of clams in there that you have to work for but were really good! Paired well with a Pinot Gris. Our meal was about $60-$70 a person since we shared this. Service was quick, they have bar seating, some indoor, and some outdoor seating. There’s plenty of parking since they have a huge parking lot.
