Found Oyster is a seafood bar in East Hollywood from Last Word Hospitality, who also have several other great LA spots as well as a couple in Joshua Tree, including the excellent Copper Room. Found Oyster is a beauty, the kind of place you can easily spend $200 in 45 minutes without really caring as they just nail it on every level. It’s a pretty tiny room, with a long bar and a handful of hightop tables, plus some outdoor seating, so come down early at 4/5pm if you want to avoid the big queues that build up at night. We loved the scallop tostada topped with yuzu kosho, basil and apple; the smoked trout dip with pickled red onions and smoked roe; and the fried oysters with sake lees mayo. There’s always a revolving list of fresh oysters too, including some from general manager Joe Laraja’s family oyster farm in Orleans, Massachusetts, plus do not miss the incredible lobster bisque roll. To drink, there’s crisp pet nats, sake, and cool beers.
