    No food captures a gourmand’s coming of age quite like oysters on the half shell, and who better to ask than Jonathan Gold for advice for where to slurp L.A.’s briny bivalves.

    He suggests:

    Connie & Ted’s; 8171 Santa Monica Blvd, West Hollywood

    Fishing with Dynamite; 1148 Manhattan Ave, Manhattan Beach

    L&E; 1637 Silver Lake Blvd, Los Angeles

    Water Grill(largest selection); 1401 Ocean Ave, Santa Monica

    Ports o Callrestaurants in San Pedro; 76 Berth, San Pedro

    He also recommends the fried oyster po-boy at Little Dom’s in Los Feliz; 2128 Hillhurst Ave Los Angeles
