On our way back from camping a few weekends ago, we ambled down highway 1 along Tomales Bay, hoping for barbecued oysters at Tony's but finding it closed for the holiday. Hungry in Point Reyes, we opted for lunch at the Pine Cone Diner, which has pretty good food and pretty bad service. But I love the decor so much that every time I eat there, I can't shut up about how I want to move in and/or decorate my kitchen to match.
Anyway, since I was in the mood for oysters, I got the fried oyster sandwich, and it was definitely the best dish on the table. A handful of big, lightly breaded, super fresh oysters, served on a toasted roll with purple slaw and pickles. The slaw looks rather ordinary but had a complex, perfectly complementary flavor.
