Perth seafood at it's finest
Submitted by Lucky Tim on Mon, 2010-08-02 19:10
Cooked up a log of Gully's southern bluefin tuna for entree, then had a Swan River prawn and Cockburn squid risotto for mains. Pretty tasty and all collected over the weekend from the metro area.

What you on about man??? LOL
Tuna looks raw?? FFS it's supposed to be that way...... Nothing worse than over cooked Tuna. I must say however that I am not a rissotto lover but well done on the effort and presentaion..... An 8 from me with a 10 for local content and creativity!

Yes looks very tasty
I feel that the tuna presentation would benefit from a nicer plating.(Not tupperware)
And your spoons dont match the bowls on your risotto.I will give it an 8 too.Room for improvement.lol.Have a good patrol and if you need to borrow a tank when you get back let the guys know and i will drop one down.Hire fee = a couple of prawns.
I might give it a go again soon
So tell me have you got your info from years on the water or hours on the internet?

hey there's nothing wrong
hey there's nothing wrong with tupperware but I'm happy with the straight 8's. You should come down next time Tony, hopefully the prawns thicken up over the next few weeks.
And Jamie you can fight Hayley for her lunch leftovers tomorrow, good luck.

Have you tried Wasabi Mayo yet. So easy to make and would be perfect with that seared Tuna ;)

I know there are heaps of recipes for it Pete, but a Japanese friend swears by the KISS principal.....
.....Just mix a good quality creamy mayo and some wasabi together ... play with the quantities till it suites YOUR taste..... So nice on that Tuna dish Tim made !!

I do that at home too. Just mix a good mayo like S&W (sorry, aus mayo is just cr4p), wasabi and a dash of soy, Otto gets it as well, just less wasabi.

Ditto, pick up a Japanese Mayo (apologies can't remember name but it's in a small plastic bottle with a red lid) and mix with a wack of wasabi.... awesome. Onya Till for introducing the young fella to it, he will have some refined taste buds down the track.

Kewpie is the most common
Kewpie is the most common brand i've heard (red lid).
For other mayo, theres a south african brand one thats good, but i forget the name. Maybe its Helman's, or maybe thats another similar one?

Helmans/Best Foods is from
Helmans/Best Foods is from the USA IIRC, same as S&W. Its the only other mayo I'll buy. I now tend to buy S&W because its now mage with cage-free eggs.
Kewpie mayo is undeniably authentic but it is awful =)

Kewpie is the best, I was
Kewpie is the best, I was looking for some today but couldn't find any.
I'll give the mayo and wasabi dip a crack in the next few weeks, the dip in my photo is just ketjup manis and lime juice. Very nice and holds on a little better than soy.
Brad bro, answer your phone and return some calls, I'll happily supply food for the next Monties trip, you just name the dates.

Got to agree on
the Japanese mayo (its cheaper to buy in a Asian food shop) I put it on everything and it goes well on salads plus the Thai mayo you buy in the Asian food shops yummy.
The dishes look lovely, unfortunately not a fan of tuna (only in a tin chilli tuna) or risotto, I'm terrible I'd eat the prawns out of it hahahah

What's the trick to steamed
What's the trick to steamed abalone Alfred? I have always sliced mine thin and dusted in lightly seasoned fish, then into hot oil for 30 sec and straight down the hatch. Converted many abalone sceptics with this recipie but need to add another string to my bow.

Yeah come on Alfred, I usually dust them in flour on the bbq with some apple cider vinegar. Haven't been too adventurous with them but that looks tasty!!

Keep the shell on, get a
Keep the shell on, get a stiff brush and give the abs a quick brush. Don't worry about all the bits sticking to the shell.
Get the wok really on the boil and place the live abs on a steaming tray. Steam for 8-10 minutes (no more then 10 or they become really hard). Remove from heat and they will just drop out of the shell, some might need a little persuasion. I just cut off the frills, remove the sac and they are ready to eat.
Slice then and toss into stir fried vege just as you are ready to take the veges out of the wok.
Have thin slices and add to fried noodles.
Cube and dip into wasabi mayo.
Take a whole piece and have a good chew as is.
Many ways to consume it. Me I like it straight out of the shell raw.

Abalone and chicken soup.
My mum uses a pressure cooker for them, and slices them. Pressure cooker softens the abalone and brings out the flavour! Simply the best soup i ever had.
