I love a big, salty, slimy oyster with a tangy mignonette. Perhaps I lack proper etiquette, but I don't even bother with the tiny fork that sometimes accompanies them because I like the feeling of the chill, spiny shell on my bottom lip. After slurping a few down last week, I opened my eyes I realized I was not actually sitting on the dock of the bay (wastin' time), but rather at fish (1708 Lombard St.) for happy hour. (Check out Trey Popp's recent review.)

The younger yet larger relative of BYO Little Fish (600 Catharine St.), fish does happy hour six days out of seven (Mon.-Thu. from 5 to 7 p.m. and Fri.-Sat. from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m.), when you can sip select wine, cocktails and beer for under $7 and grab small bites like fresher-than-fresh oysters for a buck a shuck. For those who like it hot, ask for the Bloody Mary oyster shot — it's worth all 300 pennies.
