Esperance: Spearfishing & Surfing at Australia's BEST Coastal Spot | WA (Free Camp) | S1E11

Спорт

Welcome back to another week of Lifeadrift! So awesome to see so many new subscribers! We have left south Australia after an epic month of diving and camping, we loved it there. This week we crossed the Nullarbor and the border to Western Australia, we headed south and ended up at a free camp: Membinup Beach, eastern of Esperance. We could not recommend this place enough as its free and dog friendly. We caught some bad weather, lots of wind the first few days, so we ended up surfing instead, cat paddled onto her first wave by herself here. But then wow we got some good weather and we were on for some rock fishing, we only caught some herring haha but it was a bit of fun. After some herring fishing the ocean was so calm and we got the tinny into the ocean and went out to go spearfishing. Gill found an amazing Harlequin fish that he speared, you have to watch this one. Found some green lip abalone and some roe abalone, first time trying roe abalone also. We finish up with cooking the harlequin and a abalone for dinner and its the most amazing meal.

    Re: Abalone. My best two ways are tenderised, seasoned and cooked whole like a steak (4 to 6min) then sliced after they relax for 1min. Or Sliced into 2 or 3 potato cakes (Sliced lengthways) Then tenderised Then coated in Tanco Fish seasoning. Then fried in bacon fat (or olive oil) So tender it's almost hard to believe it's abalone
