Seafood lovers are in for a real treat this August with well-known chef, restaurateur, and blogger Kevin Collins delivering his famous Bait to Plate dining experience at the Moreton Bay Food + Wine Festival.
The passionate fisherman, who is also the co-owner of Fish D’Vine at Airlie Beach, will take 150 lucky guests on a culinary journey that celebrates Queensland’s fresh seafood. The two-hour gastronomic experience lets diners feast on six delectable fish dishes and one dessert, with Kevin explaining where each fish was caught and how best to prepare it.
“Bait to Plate is about me highlighting the amazing fish species and different seafood options we have access to which sadly, seldom make it onto the menu in many restaurants,” Kevin says. “I will have a variety of local seafood for people to taste, and while an amazing team of talented chefs cook each dish out the back, I will be at the front telling people about the fish they are about to eat.
“It’s a real fun, interactive, and educational way for people to be introduced to new species. They can come up and ask questions, see what I am doing, learn how to fillet the fish, and even taste as I am going.”
Kevin’s menu will feature local produce as well as fish from tropical North Queensland. “I am really excited about the menu I have created for the festival. I will be including Moreton Bay Bugs which have been sourced from a farm in Lismore, some beautiful coral trout which I will bring down from the Whitsundays with me, and threadfish salmon, which can be found in the mouth of the Brisbane River.
“I will also have tailor, which is a common catch in Moreton Bay. It’s a very underrated fish – it has a beautiful distinctiveness to it, but it smokes like nothing else! “I will also have pearl perch because I think it’s a beautiful fish people don’t know enough about. “There will also red scorpion cod – it looks like a red stone fish, but it has a very beautiful texture.
“To finish the meal, there will be a lovely panna cotta that will be served with pineapple and strawberry accompaniments.”
