I had the occasion to bring some friends from Belgium in last week and let me tell you they are picky eaters.  They were all set to tell me how inferior our food is and how much better oysters are from France.  Well let me tell you, they had our Hammersley and Kumamoto's that we have grown for us in Washington and they were blown away.  To tell you the truth, so was I!  I seldom sit down and enjoy our food like a "guest" and I had a great time. Tell us why you love oysters. What's your favorite kind? Do you have a funny oyster eating story to share? Post it below:

I've been to a couple of oyster tasting events at Bluewater, and I must say they really opened my eyes to the range of flavors and textures of these cool little delicacies! The wine didn't hurt either:) I'll be back.

Whenever people say "I'll be back" I always say "Thanks for the warning!" A little tongue in cheek humor. We are glad you enjoy the oyster tastings and that you have learned about the different types of oysters. We wil continue to conduct these monthly events so look at the events page on our website for upcoming tastings.

The best I've had up in the San Francisco was at Hog Islands, I've been looking for a place similar to theirs down here in Orange Co. I sampled their oysters today, and its pretty close. I'll have to try again and find out. Love oysters!

Saeko, I would stack ours up against theirs any day. Contact me at info@bluewatergrill.com and I will order some Hogs to compare...what do you say??

Bluewater Grill has the freshest Oysters of almost anywhere in the Newport Beach area. Wildfish is excellent too, but at a much higher cost.

We cut at least a week out of the distribution cycle of our oyster because we purchase directly from an oyster farmer that grows and harvests when we order !!! Our oysters are better because they have only been out of the water 24 hours when we get them!

I love Oysters and can't wait to give them a whirl at Bluewater. The betst I've had locally was at King's in Long Beach last year & up in Seatle as well.

If you find that ours are not the best you have ever had then I will buy them !

I'd never had oysters until a few years ago. Had them for the first time at the Bluewater location in Redondo Beach and I've been hooked ever since! The only other oysters that compare are ones I had at an oyster bar in Richmond, VA, and that's a bit too far to travel every time I crave them. Bluewater's Hammersley oysters are definitely favorites of mine.

You should make sure to download our Bluewater TV Episode "Aw Shucks" on our Home Page and learn more about BWG oysters. There is a good reason ours are the best...they are fresher because they are harvested the day we order them and shipped to us the next day !
