Notes

(NOTE 1) Pacific Oysters - These oysters were originally from Japan and the Pacific coast of Asia, it's now farmed around the world. Pacific oysters are quite large and meaty, with a mild taste of the sea. If Pacific oysters aren't available, any large, raw, and super fresh oyster variety will do. Rinse the oysters clean and serve them in their half shell.
(NOTE 2) Rindless bacon - My favourite bacon is streaky, as I like the ratio of fat to meat. However, all kinds of rindless bacon will work.
(NOTE 3) Worcestershire sauce has a unique vinegary, sweet and savoury flavour that goes fantastic with meats and seafood.
(NOTE 4) Tabasco sauce - To add some kick to my Oysters Kilpatrick, I like to add a few drops of Tabasco sauce to the mix, but this is optional and can be omitted.
