π₯π€€AMARILLAπ₯π₯
Sneaky anniversary lunch @amarillaterrigal – Scotty & his team never disappoint!
Working our way through the incredible menu, and paired with some sensational spanish wines, and literally right on the water, lunch doesnβt get much better than this.
The menu is incredibly well executed, with some of the dishes being finished off on coals. My pick – the braised beef croquets, sensational!
π₯π NOTHING WASTEDππ₯
Thereβs a lot more to a fish than the perfect fillets.
After breaking down these kingfish, we hung the frames over the fire and slowly smoked them with paperbark, partly because thereβs still plenty of beautiful meat hiding around those bones, neck, head and cheeks, but more importantly, because I wanted to show my son that using everything is the way to go.
Take what you need.
Make something with the rest.
Waste as little as possible.
Once smoked, we picked every bit of flesh from the frames and turn it into a smoked kingfish dip.
But weβre not finished there.
The bones and everything remaining went into a pot to make a rich fish stock, which weβll save for our next woodfire paella. π₯π₯
One fish. Multiple meals.
And hopefully a lesson that sticks with him long after the fire goes out.
π₯ Respect the produce. Use everything. Cook with fire.

ππ₯ KINGFISH SASHIMI WITH PONZUπ£π¦
This one is ridiculously simple: fresh Yellowtail Kingfish, sliced thin and dressed with a punchy soy, lime and sesame ponzu.
π Yellowtail Kingfish Sashimi
π₯’ Light soy
πβπ© Fresh lime
π° Sesame oil
πΆοΈ JalapeΓ±o
π± Chives
π§ Crispy garlic
π Puffed rice
β¨ Toasted sesame seeds
Slice the kingfish around 5β8mm thick, mix the soy, lime and sesame oil and spoon it over the fish.
Then finish with chives, sesame, puffed rice, crispy garlic and finely sliced jalapeΓ±o.
Fresh, salty, citrusy, crunchy with just a little heat. π
One of those dishes that proves when youβve got great produce, you really donβt need to do much to it.
Eat well.

Thanks to @ali_jiro_akbarian for organising the day, so many laughs and so much fun! Stay tuned to see all the things we do with these incredible fish!
ππ₯ITβS DONEπ₯π
Another season, and a beautiful piece of pork loin, cured old school – no nitrates, equilibrium method. Salt + spices, cold smoked and hung in the meat chamber.
Came up perfect. Canβt wait to share some charcuterie boards with friends soon ππΌ
ππ₯BOVINE LEATHERπ₯π
We often get asked about our handmade leather goods, and also get a LOT of feedback on them, hereβs what they say:
βItβs so soft and suppleβ
βThey are made so beautifullyβ
βAprons are tough but easy to wear all dayβ
βI love how I can wrap all my knives and utensils upβ
βThe leather is the perfect thicknessβ
βCanβt believe i can hold burning woodβ
βSo comfortableβ
Hearing every one of these comments makes our day; you see we arenβt just finding something off the shelf slapping a logo on it and calling it our own.
We spent months and even years in some instances, designing, testing materials, trying different designs, tweaking the way we do things and constantly trying to improve what we create, all with a view of creating the ultimate handmade leather goods for fire cooks and chefs alike.
β‘οΈBUSH READYβ‘οΈ
I knew from the moment I got my @flightrisk_co #777 e-bike, that I wanted to turn it into something that could be used across any and all of my adventures.
One thing I wanted to do was set it up to be bush ready. Perfect for land, or state forest, being able to cover ground and take the necessities with me, prepared for all conditions.
So, I got to work, and heres what I did:
π§ΊBasket On Back
πΌMilitary Side Bags/Pouches on Molle Plate
ποΈFront Rack for @jackstillmanofficial poncho
π‘12V Led Spotlights & headlight relocation
β‘οΈ12V USBC & USBA charger w/ short cable
π¦Removable Rifle Bag
βοΈFirstAid Kit from @survivalfirstaid
πͺKnife/Butchering Bag

Another incredible trip done & dusted with the boys.
Many may not know, but weβve been fortunate enough to develop a small, but highly coveted group of guys who love our food and wine. (Obsessed)
We travel to wine destinations everywhere, conducting research, and leaning on our incredible contacts to give us insights into the best βmust doβ in every region we frequent.
Mornington was exceptional.

π₯πͺ SLENDER & SHARP πͺπ₯
Six inches of hand forged 420c Stainless Steel, built to work.
The Fillet Boning Utility Knife earns its keep where precision matters.
Trimming close to the bone. Following the seam. Filleting clean without tearing through the flesh.
That slender blade with enough rigidity to use hard, and the hand-finished hardwood handle sits balanced in the palm… light enough for the fine work, strong enough for the field.
Comes with its own leather sheath. Handmade, like everything we put our name to.
DM us or link in bio if you want one on block. π₯
ππ§ PRESERVING SEASON π§π
πLemon season means one thing in our kitchen: itβs time to preserve. π₯
Thereβs nothing better than opening a jar of your own preserved lemons months down the track.
Salty, tangy, softened right through the rind. A staple we go back to all year in tagines, dressings, marinades and anything that needs a hit of brightness.
Our method is simple:
π Fresh lemons, quartered but still attached at the base
π§ A cure mix of 1 part sugar to 2 parts salt
π« Packed tight into sterilised jars, layer by layer
β³ Left for a few weeks before we crack the first jar
The sugar rounds out the salt and helps draw out the juices faster, so the whole jar cures in its own liquid.
Preserving isnβt just about food lasting longer. Itβs about capturing a season at its best and having it ready to use long after the lemons are gone. ππ₯
What do you use your preserved lemons in? π
