Sit at the long redwood bar at this rustic-chic establishment and watch as experts shuck local oysters and top them off with intriguing sauces like habanero and peach juice. The locavore menu also includes charcuterie-style platters and regional wines and ales. If you like what you taste, be sure to ask about the two-hour Humboldt Bay Oyster Tours (www.humboldtbayoystertours.com).
