Cook sea beans in a 2-quart saucepan of boiling (unsalted) water 1 minute, then drain in a colander.
Quickly transfer to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking.
Drain, then pat dry with paper towels.
Drain oysters in a sieve set over a bowl and reserve their liquor.
Pat fish dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a 12-inch ovenproof heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then cook fish, skinned side up, until undersides are browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
Turn fish over and transfer skillet to oven, then roast until fish is just cooked through, 9 to 11 minutes.
While cod is roasting, cook shallot in 3 tablespoons butter, covered, in a 10-inch heavy skillet over low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened but not golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add lemon juice and oyster liquor and bring to a simmer over moderate heat.
Add oysters and season lightly with salt and pepper if desired, then cook at a bare simmer, covered, until just barely firm, 1 to 2 minutes.
Remove from heat.
Center pieces of cod on 4 large plates (reserve skillet) and arrange sea beans and oysters around fish.
Discard fat from 12-inch skillet and add oyster cooking liquid.
Bring to a boil over high heat and swirl in remaining tablespoon butter until incorporated.
