Gilhooley's in San Leon

Since oyster season started last week and because the weather is already lending itself to cooler water temps and plumper bivalves, we've assembled a map of great places to find oysters. Classic raw bars, fancier establishments, laid-back seafood joints and everything in between are on the map. The emphasis is on great oysters, good prices and the occasional michelada. The season should peak in March, but it's starting now. Here are the places to go for an extensive beer list or a nice wine pairing with your raw oysters.
