Crayfish Hunting in Tasmania | Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted
I'm 30 feet down using a dining system I'd never tried before called snuba. I'm trying to keep my air hose from strangling me, praying I don't run into a great white below the surface. I try to focus on finding a crayfish. I fight through the thick kelp underneath it; these Krays are hiding somewhere in the nooks and crannies. Limbs on the line, I place my hand into the unknown of each dark hole. Damn, these crazy move by lightning.
Finally, I managed to spot a Cray poking his head out of a crack in the rock. It fights me with all of its might, using its powerful tail to break from my grasp. While I've done a little diving in my life, I'd never quite experienced anything as majestic or rewarding as catching a Z cray.
Look at the size of that baby! Man, they move fast! Yeah, yeah, right! I can't wait to taste the motor right there; it's the sweetest thing you'll ever taste, guarantee hard work done. It's time for Shane to make the most of this beauty by cooking it two ways. While the amazing tail goes into the pot, Shane serves up some crayfish sashimi.
Look at it! Gonna throw in it, beautiful sabe! Nice! Look at that; the sheen on that is incredible, isn't it? Yeah, bloody! You know that this delicious always tastes a bit better when you've earned it. Next, Shane serves it simply steamed.
The money! This is where it's at! Nice, look at that baby! Oh my lord, god, the weight of that! Yeah, I mean, it's enough for six! There is enough! You've done extremely well today; look at that! Wow, that is delicious! Joe, I'm amazed at the yields. In terms of that's the muscle there, you felt the power of how much it is, and here you can see.
Yeah, see how it all equates? That crayfish was translucent, delicious, meaty, sweet, and super firm! Incredible! I'm definitely use it for my feast at the end of the week. I'd love you to come and join us.
I would love to! You know what goes really well with this? A bit of wallaby! I think you need a bit of game in there, a bit of each. I know a lady that might be how to help you out, service! Yeah, don't ask any other locals for Sara! Sara? Yep, loves a bit of fire! Yep, she'd be right up your alley.
The addition of a protein, that wallaby, would be amazing! Yeah, that's because mainly in serpent her, that has to be a centerpiece on my feast. Do I do it like a seven-turfed? I keep it separate? I got to think about that, but what I have got is an amazing start because that crayfish... it's like the Rolls-Royce at sea, basically travels.
They like to catch you! At the end, want to see more for my uncharted adventures? Please click here to watch more clips.
