💡 What's interesting

Oysters Kilpatrick is a distinctly Australian invention, likely named after the 19th-century explorer Sir George Grey who had connections to the Kilpatrick region. Nutritionally, it's a clever way to enhance the natural briny flavor of oysters while adding a smoky, umami-rich dimension that makes them more approachable for those new to eating raw shellfish.
