Oysters Kilpatrick is a simple and delicious Australian dish and my favourite way to eat oysters! Fresh shucked oysters served in the shell and topped with bacon bits and Kilpatrick sauce!

Living in a small rural town, fresh seafood is few and far between but luckily every now and then a seafood lorry comes to town. This week I was able to get some fresh oysters from Jetts Seafood and Oysters Kilpatrick was the first thing on my mind!

How to Make Oysters Kilpatrick

There are only three small basic steps to a simple Oysters Kilpatrick recipe

Step One – fry bacon until slightly crispy

Step Two – mix together tomato sauce (ketchup), worcestershire, and tabasco to make the sauce

Step Three – top fresh, shucked oysters with sauce and bacon bits and cook

If you’re using an air fryer for this recipe you can use scrunched up foil instead of rock salt to keep the oysters level
