Notes

  • Always use fresh, high-quality oysters for the best flavour and texture.
  • Pre-cooking the bacon helps achieve a crispy topping without overcooking the oysters.
  • Avoid grilling oysters for too long, as they can become tough.
  • Adjust the sauce quantity based on your preferred flavour intensity.
  • Serve immediately after cooking for the best Kilpatrick oyster experience.
