Hi Jim @jim-chandler.  Thank you for your response.  It could be Dendostrea frons, but the ribs on the one I found originate at the hinge of the shell and from what I can see in the frons they originate more from a center line of the shell.  It does appear that there are remnants of possible clasper spines on bottom shell, but it is hard to say.  I think the difficulty in oyster identification is that they vary in shapes so much.  Perhaps there is an oyster expert out there.  My preference is actually on the half shell with hot sauce and lemon.
