You already did the creative dad part with the gravlax.
Serve it as is and while it warms the guests will enjoy

have messed up a lot of seafood trying to get creative.
Stay with traditional
Boil or broil the lobster.
Saute the shrimp for scampi
Steam or grill the oysters.

I am not an oyster expert.

Raw versus cooked are different sizes of oysters.

Raw oysters need to be smaller as in quarter to half dollar sized. They need a good acidic partner of lemon, lime or cocktail sauce to balance the brine. I've watched a few sprinkle with a touch of sugar, too.
They get better tasting after a few adult beverages for some reason.

Steamed oysters are about the size of a chicken tenderloin. I never tried one that size on the half shell

like... I'm as far as you can imagine from any ocean coast... and I have 33 frikin' oysters in a box that sound like a thunder if you shake them... I even cover this bitches with wet towel to make them comfortable...lol... Why do people choose oysters over bacon or leg of lamb is beyond me but I do have this "slurp nonsense" and I can not fail...
