Are there any good restaurants to get Oysters at in Long Beach, CA?

Question

I've been living in Long Beach for a little while, and eat out pretty often, but I've noticed that almost no restaurants I've been to serve oysters.

I did stop in at one restaurant about a block away from Ocean near Pine street and found that their menu had oysters, but they were incredibly expensive. I'm used to getting oysters pretty cheap from when I lived on the East Coast - a quarter a piece for oysters on the half shell with salt and crackers, about $10 for 18 or so fried oysters, and about $4 or $5 for a big bowl of oyster stew.

Is there any restaurant in Long Beach, or very close (Torrance, Huntington Beach, Lakewood, etc,) where I can find a good oyster restaurant that doesn't jack up prices 4 or 5 times higher than what they should cost?

Answer 1

In Long Beach try King's Fish House at Pine and Broadway and The Reef Harbor Scenic Drive  or in San Pedro 22nd Street Landing Seafood Grill & Bar.

Answer 2

You seem to forget you are on the West Coast now! Those Oysters now have to fly all the way over here. And tickets ain't cheap, even on a cargo plane. Feel free to enjoy the inexpensive dungenous crab that you would pay an arm and a leg for in Boston though. Next you will be whining about the shortage of lobster sandwiches. Poor baby!

Answer 3

Try this place if you don't mind a small drive.
