I like to roll then in a little flour and fry them for breakfast, in bacon
fat of course. There is always the classic oyster soup, which while there
are endless recipes one could use, is best made simply with thickened cream
and saffron, adding the oysters no more than about 5 minutes before you
finish simmering to ensure they are still plump and juicy.

Most people overcook the hell out of oysters and in fact all shellfish.
