| Summary |
Poh is back in Darwin soaking up the sun and enjoying delicious fresh seafood, all in the company of great friends. For Poh there is no better way to get a feel for a place than through the eyes of locals, and in Darwin she is lucky enough to have the company of a co-worker from the ABC, Elton, who grew up in the territory. Not only is Elton able to show Poh the lie of the land, but he also introduces her to highly-regarded local cook, Geoffrey Angeles, better known as Jacko. Jacko shows Poh and Elton how to catch and cook one of his favourite fish, the local sand whiting. The fish is lightly fried in peanut oil to crispy perfection with the tail left on as the ultimate crisp treat. To accompany the fish Poh makes a fresh, tangy Thai style salsa with a hit of citrus provided by the beautiful local torch ginger. For the next seafood sensation on the menu, Poh and Elton fly east with Jacko to the pristine waters of the Coburg peninsula to source one of the sea's great delicacies, pearl meat. This by-product from pearl farming is delicate and sweet and Jacko demonstrates how to keep the meat the hero of the dish by marinating it lightly in an Asian-style sauce, giving the meat no more than a quick sear and using a delicate pink grapefruit for accompaniment. The flavours are subtle, the texture firm but delicate and the pearl meat definitely has its say on the plate. The final dish Jacko introduces Poh to, is a Darwin family favourite, Numus. Numus is a raw fish dish where the fish is pickled using vinegar and lemon and enhanced with palm sugar, chilli, soy and garlic. Versions of the dish can be found right throughout the top end of Australia but the common factor is the use of a firm white fish flesh. Jacko's preferred fish is the queen fish but he uses one that is more available - the trevally. The pickled fish is silky, tangy and unbelievably 'moreish' |
