where to get oysters in Half Moon Bay?

I was told that you can get oysters really cheap at this one place in Half Moon Bay. $5 for 2 dozen! But the guy doesn't know the name of the place. Anyone here knows what I am talking about? Just need the name/address/phone number. Thanks!

I'm sure you can find it anywhere on the pier. There is this one place right on the pier next to some fish and chips resturant that my dad and i used to go and buy crabs/fish.

yeah, I am sure I can find them at most of the local markets. But $5 for 2 dozens?! Fresh oysters? That is really cheap! I am not talking about them crazy big oysters or frozen ones. I am talking about the fresh small ones that you can just crack it open and eat it.

Just got back from Tomales Bay a couple of weeks ago. Travel further up the coast to Tomales Bay, Bodega and the town of Marshall. That's were all of the good oysters are. My favorite is Hog Island. There you get a dozen oysters from their farm just 20' away from their stand. It comes with an oyster knife, a cafateria tray, a rubber glove, bottle of Crystal hotsauce and a lime. That's it. You open and eat your own.

yeah, but we'll have to pay $20 or something to get in right? $5 for 24 is way more than I can handle.
