Smoked Kingfish & Roast Outback Kangaroo

A tour for the Tastebuds!

All of our 4WD tours & cruises now include a sample tasting of local produce including Yellowtail Kingfish & Kangaroo, served with a native herb sauce. Not intended as a meal but as a culinary insight into the area you are touring.

Smoked Kingfish

Spencer Gulf 'Smoked Yellowtail Kingfish' is a local delicacy.The Kingfish is initially sourced from Cleanseas Aquaculture Growout in Port Lincoln. The Kingfish is then Brined for 2 hours in a salt water solution. The Kingfish is then drained and hung on rods and on a rack in our cool room to dry out overnight. The temperature of the smoke box is gradually increase during the cooking process until the fish is cooked which can take between 3-4 hours depending on the thickness of the fish. The fish is then taken out of the smoke box and put straight into the cool room to cool down and stop the cooking process.
