Hi Andy, in Tasmania we have major issues with salmon farming companies trashing our waterways and using antibiotics like Florfenicol which gets into our wild fishery. Overcrowded nets result in mass mortality rates as stressed salmon die by the thousands. I know from your paddock to plate philosophy that you are about sustainable natural food. Please do some due diligence on this product, there are alternative wild caught products. Cheers bruv 🙂
Variety of fish in Australia a lot more then Europe
Well made educational video. Thank you 🙏🏾
I’m not a big fish fan, but when I do I am able to buy from a local shop which gets local seafood 😁. Thank goodness for Innisfail Seafood!
show us how you cook fish you can catch in australia
I like fish, but I hate bones
In Israel, tinned Tuna is like super super duper common. They even give it to soldiers as war food when they’re outside of the country
Great video, though you could never pay me enough for me to try tinned tuna. Fresh tuna sashimi, I would eat every day of the week, but that tinned stuff smells rancid and I eat with my nose.
off topic, but is that FutureCanoe's can on the shelf at the back?
As someone who absolutely loves food and watches religiously. I was promised a golf channel when..?
The new fish markets are a fkn rip off though.
Great video! Very informative. I get the feeling those fish market folks might really know how to sharpen knives… What was that thing the bloke filleting the tuna used @ 20:59 ?? 🤔👍
edit: I think it's a "BOBET Sharp Easy"
Yo, Andy! Soy sauce is just soy. Not soyA.
Where do we watch the rest of your tour at the fish markets
Some great tips there, mate. It's fantastic to be able to have sashimi at home after a successful day on the water – we're trying various types of drizzles etc. Question: do you or anyone know who makes that knife sharpener the fish market tuna filleter used? I've never seen it, but I figure if he uses it in that pro situation, it must be decent….
For transparency it’s important to note that “sashimi grade” is just a marketing term. It’s not a regulated indication of the standard of the fish
I think you could have mentioned that “sashimi grade” has no regulated meaning anywhere in the world (based on some quick research). It’s a very frequently used term in fish sales, but essentially suppliers could claim anything is sashimi grade without any repercussions. So as the video says – educate yourself about your supplier, don’t just trust the marketing
Mate…A bit bold there saying there are no parasites in fish in Aussie.Not accurate.Love your videos keep em coming!
Fantastic
As someone living in Melbourne I am so jealous that Sydney has quite possibly the best fish market in the entire world, except for maybe Tsukiji in Japan.
Been smashing heaps of fish lately. The amount of woody chicken in the Australian market is becoming unbearable. I’m finding it’s a lottery and I have had some chicken lately with the consistency of a tumour. Eating way more fish now.
Great video, and I'm going to try all the recipes! I also completely agree: Gurnard is so good and underrated! It was my go-to in NZ, but it's harder to find here!
600-700 species? Thats crazy, in my home country 🇸🇮 we have like 12-15 species regularly and up to 25 in a season
Nope, wrong once again. Stop playing with the fish. Try camping some time. Just clean and cook on open fire 😋
I could give these two nutcases any tuna sandwich and they wouldn't know the difference 😅
Being in the hospitality industry myself, i still learn so much from your work @Andy
Pretty sure that was a Venus tuskfish not a blue one/black spot
Just came to say I ran into Andy after a round of golf by chance and he was such a legend. He stopped and made time to talk to me and he did not have to. Great bloke!
I cook fish way more than I cook steak, tbh. I like fish more
Canned tuna can be readily found at grocery stores here in the Midwest of the United States.
Loved being able to see how such a big operation works and the knowledge behind it. Also love the Roots album! A classic!
tartare sauce … do you make it by yourself and when yes, do you have a video?
I'm always surprised by the album in the background…the roots, do you want more?! Absolute favorite
Bro are you informing people on how to eat fish or scaring them into not to. 😜
The sashimi section broke my heart. Seeing how much you paid for that tuna only to have the lego bricks served up with soy & wasabi paste. 😭
For those who are only familiar with mall sushi, the slice he was served at the fish markets was actually pretty close to what you'd expect from mid-range sashimi. If you ever see a review complaining about how stingy the restaurant is with the sashimi and that you can see the plate through the fish, run straight there and camp out until they open. It will cost you the equivalent of a tank of diesel, but it will be so worth it!
