The Marshall Store

We went to Tomales Oyster farm but we realised that the oyster is not prepared for consumption on the spot so we were recommended to Marshall store. Both places are owned by the same family. On the look of the prices, it is very expensive to charge $24+ for just 6 raw oysters when you can get 12 for $18+ at the oyster farm. Oh well, we are paying for the labor costs. My bf loved all the dishes and all the seafood were fresh. I usually avoid oysters because it is so hard to get one that doesnt have any fishy taste to it and I am surprised that the oysters here does not have that taste! I ate 3 of the 6 pieces. We went a little crazy with the ordering because we were so hungry. Got the seafood stew, po boy sandwich, smoked fish, and grilled oysters. The food was great. We spent our labor day weekends in marin area and so far this was our most worthy meal. The portions were so great, even though the pricing is on the high side but you will get this pricing all around marin point reyes area. The only downside of this place is the lack of parking area and the toilet is like a hiking site. Very disappointed to see this type of toilet.

Loved this place. Great food!! Lovely staff! Can’t wait to return

We were staying in Bivalve and our host recommended The Marshall store when we told her we were looking for a place to get oysters. She told us it was a local family owned place, had more reasonable prices than Tony’s and they baked their own bread. Sold! It’s a casual eatery where you order at the counter and find your own seat. They offer wine by bottle, half bottle or single serve and beer and sodas too. My husband and I went for lunch. We ordered and found a seat outside overlooking the bay. Our It was a chilly, windy day so bring layers if you like eating outside. Our food came out quickly and it was almost a full house on Thursday at lunch. We started with a bowl of clam chowder served hot and delicious. We had raw, smoked and BBQ oysters. The raw ones were my favorite, very fresh and served with a mignonette including fresh chopped herbs. BBQ ones were served with the most delicious garlic bread and were my husband’s favorite. They were BBQ but still plenty juicy and covered with a lightly spicy BBQ sauce. Lastly the smoked oyster. They were well prepared but I didn’t love the flavor combo: served on a crisp toast, layer of goat cheese, oyster and a mayo base aioli. We then split a shrimp po’ boy sandwich. No regrets there. It had big, succulent shrimp perfectly seasoned with blackened seasonings, freshly made mayo free slaw, sliced tomatoes and a fabulously fresh roll. We would definitely recommend and return ourselves!

If you come here, I recommend their grilled oysters and dining outdoors while looking at the bay. The prices here are very reasonable and the portions are decent. There's nothing more relaxing than this in sunny Northern California. When you leave, if they still have any sourdough bread, be sure to take one home with you. That was the best sourdough bread I've ever had.

Went when there was limited menu and shuck your own oysters. The oysters were fantastic, as was the campechana. I will definitely be back when in the area.
