Notes

1. Jalapeno – this amount provides just a subtle hint of spiciness to keep things interesting but by no means makes this spicy. Freezing dulls the spiciness of jalapeno quite a lot.

2. Oysters – Both Sydney Rock (smaller, stronger flavour) and Pacific (fleshier, cleaner flavour) oysters are great. These are the two main varieties here in Australia. Flavour and quality comes down to where they are grown. I love: Tasmanian, Merimbula, Port Stephens, Batemans Bay, Boomer Bay. But there are many more from around Australia that are great I haven’t tried or I don’t see them here in Sydney!

3. Serving oysters are typically served on bed of ice at restaurants to keep them cold and provide a stable base. Rock salt is an alternative (though have to discard), otherwise, a bed of leafy greens (whatever’s cheap at the time eg watercress, kale)

Leftovers will keep for at least a month in the freezer (scraped or unscraped).
