Learning oyster culture at hidden gem, Pier 6 Seafood & Oyster House

San Leon, Texas – In the heart of San Leon, Texas, Pier 6 Seafood & Oyster House has become a hot spot for locals and tourists alike. Owned by Raz Halili and led by Executive Chef Joe Cervantez, this scenic eatery brings the best of Gulf Coast seafood straight to your plate.

Chef Joe is all about keeping it fresh and local, serving up oysters that are as tasty as they are sustainable. And if you’re new to oysters, don’t worry—they’ve got you covered with a few tips on how to enjoy them like a pro.

First off, don’t be afraid to use your hands—oysters are meant to be fun! Start by loosening the oyster from the shell with a small fork, then give it a little squeeze of lemon, or maybe a dash of hot sauce. Tilt the shell to your lips and let the oyster slide in—no chewing needed (but you totally can), just savor the briny goodness. If you want to up your game, pair your oysters with a crisp white wine or an ice-cold beer.

Raz Halili’s parents built Prestige Oysters from the ground up. He grew up in the seafood industry and wanted to create a spot that feels like home—warm, welcoming, and full of great food. And with dishes that celebrate the rich flavors of the Gulf, Pier 6 is just that. Whether you’re there for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, you’re sure to leave satisfied.

So, if you’re ever in San Leon, swing by Pier 6 for a taste of the Gulf Coast that’s as authentic as it gets.
