The common name oyster is used for a number of different groups of bivalvemollusks, most of which live in marine habitats or brackish water. The shell consists of two usually highly calcified valves which surround a soft body. Gills filterplankton from the water, and strong adductor muscles are used to hold the shell closed.
Some types of oysters are highly prized as food, both raw and cooked. Other types, such as pearl oysters, are not commonly eaten.
True oysters, belonging to the family Ostreidae, are incapable of making gem-quality pearls, although the opposite idea is a commonly-encountered misapprehension, often seen in illustrations or photographs where an edible oyster shell is mistakenly paired with a gem-quality pearl.

It is sometimes referred to as a Korean version of pizza, since one may add several different ingredients to it. Kimchiand seafood, such as squid, are added along with other vegetables such as carrots, onions, etc. Kimchi pajeon is a variant of the above but with kimchi added. Pajeon is often eaten while drinking makkeolli.
