Australia’s top seafood expert has joined forces with leading hospitality training provider Allara Global to educate the world on the benefits of choosing Australian Wild Prawns.
Fishtales Senior Partner John Susman is on a mission to teach hoteliers, chefs, restaurateurs, and seafood retailers in Australia and abroad how to best source, prepare, and cook sustainably harvested wild prawns.
Backed by the Australian Council of Prawn Fisheries*, a 13-part online course has been launched on the Allara Global training platform, covering a range of topics, including common species of wild prawn, best fishing practices, best prawn handling techniques, best cooking methods, and flavour profiles.
“Australian Wild Prawns are sustainable, unique, and produced to the world’s highest standards. They offer such an amazing array of flavours, textures and price points, that the options for use across any cuisine or venue are endless,” Mr Susman said.
“This course shows chefs how they can best use Australian Wild Prawns in their kitchens to elevate their culinary efforts, and to help any business stand out in a competitive market.
Australian chefs deserve to have the best seafood available, to make a mark from ocean to plate.
“By working alongside Allara Global, we have delivered the most comprehensive online course on Australian Wild Prawns available today.”
As a consultant to catchers, processors, distributors, retailers, industry bodies, and government, Mr Susman said selecting Australian Wild Prawns is a great commercial, culinary and industry choice.
“Wild prawns are only abundant when the rest of the ecosystem thrives, so not only do they provide a great flavour profile but by choosing them, the industry as a whole can support sustainable practices which preserve our precious oceans,” Mr Susman said.
Allara Global CEO Andrew Lewis said the course has been carefully crafted for the hospitality industry and has already proved hugely popular.
“This course can be delivered at scale, not just within Australia, but around the globe. We’re expecting 12,000 people to access the Australian Wild Prawns course this month alone, including our customers from high-end hotels and restaurants, through to pubs and clubs, who have already started the courses – and feedback has been great so far,” Mr Lewis said.
