Back in the 60's and 70's it was on a lot of menus. One place that comes to mind is Georgia's in Newport, Oregon. It is next to the Hallmark motel overlooking the ocean. Their way is adding grilled onions and green peppers. They do not bread the oysters, just pan fry them. There is plenty of bacon also.

At any rate, Those look tasty, but I wonder what the recipe would be like with fresh oysters? Or is it the smoky taste of the canned oysters that is essential? Looks marvelous.

Oystery croutons sound WAY better than the standard flour method. Cream of wheat, believe it or not, is an equally inspiring crust! Yeah, opinion seems to vary on this, but it makes sense.
