I've looked at a number of recipes on the net for an Oysters Bingo recipe. They are all identical and all say to use flour in the list of ingredients but to bread the oysters in the directions. Which is it, flour or bread crumbs , or both? See following recipe...
Ingredients: 1 oz Butter or Vegetable Oil 1 Tbsp Oyster Juice 6 fresh Oysters 1 Tbsp White Wine 1 cup Flour, seasoned with salt and pepper 1 Tbsp Shallots 1 Tbsp real Lemon Juice Directions: Lightly bread 6 oysters and saute on one side until golden brown, then saute the other side until same color appears. Remove oysters from pan. Turn off heat and add the wine, oyster juice, lemon juice, and shallots to the butter that the oysters were sauted in. This will make a creamy sauce to pour over the oysters

I think they mean to dredge the oysters in the seasoned flour, then shake off the excess. It is a poorly worded recipe.

To "bread" generally means to coat with crumbs of some sort
This recipe appears to call seasoned flour as 'breading', rather than the more appropriate 'dredging'. The "creamy sauce" is the result of flour left behind from the saute process combining with the cooking oil to make a roux and then combined with liquid. And wow, it sure does look like one recipe reproduced over and over again. The restaurant/club origin (Ship's Cabin) is more known for music than food.
