Where the fish comes from
The fish is bought direct from fishermen working from Corner Inlet to Mooloolaba and Ulladulla. It is handled dry and dry-aged on the bone, and the skin is scaled with a knife rather than washed. What is available changes with what the boats bring in, and the kitchen also makes charcuterie, including tuna 'nduja and salmon rillette.
