Port Lincoln is now seen as a culinary destination of the South Australian\u00a0peninsula and, with some of the country\u2019s finest and most abundant seafood,\u00a0The Fresh Fish Place lies at its heart. To handle growing demand they\u2019ve\u00a0recently reeled in some new kitchen equipment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For five years owners Craig and Sandy McCathie have worked hard\u00a0to establish culinary tourism in the region, transforming a humble\u00a0fish and chip shop into a must-visit destination within the highly\u00a0popular \u2018aquaculture\u2019 trail around the South Australian peninsula.<\/p>\n

The Fresh Fish Place now offers factory tours, tasting experiences,\u00a0ever-popular culinary classes, a homeware gallery and factorydirect\u00a0produce \u2013 in addition to their renowned fresh seafood caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n

In the last twelve months the venue has also featured in several TV\u00a0programmes with a number of notable chefs and TV personalities,\u00a0including Grace Barbe, Adam Liaw, Matt Moran and Matthew Evans,\u00a0making the trip south. Last year on a visit to South Australia the\u00a0Governor General, Sir Peter Cosgrove and Lady Cosgrove popped\u00a0in for a meal also \u2013 further raising the venue\u2019s profile.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_image image=”2037″ image_size=”full” frame=”noframe” intro_animation=”none” animation_delay=”200″ fullwidth=”no” lightbox=”yes” link_target=”_self” caption_pos=”hover” width=”1\/3″ el_position=”first”] [spb_text_block animation=”none” animation_delay=”0″ padding_vertical=”0″ padding_horizontal=”0″ width=”2\/3″ el_position=”last”]\n

With this leap in profile and an already glowing reputation far\u00a0greater numbers are coming through the doors. Craig and Sandy\u00a0felt the need to up-scale the kitchen to cope, and approached\u00a0Moffat to secure another Waldorf twin pan gas fryer.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Waldorf Bold fryers<\/a><\/span> we originally got from Moffat were\u00a0doing such a good job,\u201d says Craig. \u201cBut we just couldn\u2019t keep up\u00a0with demand.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new deep fryer also fitted perfectly into the kitchen, as we had\u00a0a Waldorf Bold bench that was the same depth as the deep fryer,\u201d\u00a0he says. \u201cSo we simply slipped out the bench and slipped in the fryer\u00a0and it fitted the nook perfectly. It was all very easy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The addition to the kitchen has ensured the caf\u00e9 can continue to\u00a0consistently deliver a range of renowned seafood; flake, garfish,\u00a0whiting, Coffin Bay oysters and local southern calamari \u2013 all\u00a0prepared in a famously light, tempura-style batter.<\/p>\n

McCathie says the high-end kitchen technology has helped ensure\u00a0a very high level of quality. He also points out the importance of\u00a0choosing kitchen equipment that can scale to meet the ever-increasing\u00a0demands of the business.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it comes to our culinary cooking demos we\u2019re only in our\u00a0second year\u2026 and things are just starting to heat up,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s part of our mission to host some of the top chefs from around\u00a0the world here at The Fresh Fish Place. To do that we need to\u00a0provide them with the best kitchen equipment to cook on. It\u2019s why we\u00a0turned to Moffat in the first place.\u201d<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
