The name oyster is used for a number of different groups of mollusks
which grow for the most part in marine or brackish water (water that is
saltier than fresh water but not as salty as sea water). The oyster is
the root of an idiomatic saying “The world is your oyster”, which means
that to achieve something in this world, you have to grab the
opportunity. All types of oysters (and, indeed, many other shelled
molluscs) can secrete pearls, but those from edible oysters have no
market value. Oysters are best served raw in their own juices with a
slice of lemon. Oysters have, for many years, been considered an
aphrodisiac.
