made this with shucked pacific oysters, goosepoint medium, only used 8 of those as they are quite large, followed the rest of the ingredients as is. didn't have a 'small loaf pan' but we made this in the small rectangular casserole dish i had and it's really good! love the texture of the cornmeal.
I can see this isn't one of the most popular recipes on nyt but I had everything for this, and some Goosepoint oysters I felt better off preparing cooked, so we made it. The measurement of the oyster in the recipe isn't really exact as it didn't really specify much, not even if they were atlantic or pacific. i felt the oysters I got were at least a medium pacific if not large, so i guestimated like 6 large pacific oysters instead of 24 in the recipe and this worked amazingly!
