Earlier in the year, I had the pleasure of travelling to Tasmania and visiting the Petuna Ocean Trout farm outside of Strahan. The fish is favoured by leading chefs such as Tetsuya Wakuda and Peter Kuruvita so it’s no surprise that the fish won Gold medal and overall Champion Fresh Fish medal for excellence in the Aquaculture competition at the prestigious 2012 Sydney Fine Food Show for the second consecutive year.
Petuna Ocean Trout
Petuna Ocean Trout comes from the remote south-west coast of Tasmania, where the cool wilderness waters of the Franklin-Gordon Rivers collide with the salt water of the great Southern Ocean, a unique environment that is hard to replicate and one that contributes to the texture and marbling of the fish.
This recipe makes a great breakfast treat and showcases one of the diverse uses of Petuna Ocean Trout
