Ep 8. Esperance

In season 3 episode 8 of Surfing the Menu, the hosts, Dan Churchill and Hayden Quinn, travel to Esperance in Western Australia in search of the best seafood, grains, and meats Esperance has to offer.

The episode kicks off with the duo visiting a local dairy farm to learn about how fresh milk is produced and getting a chance to milk the cows themselves. They then head over to a nearby grain farm where they grab some freshly harvested wheat to mill into flour for their baking project.

Next, they are off to the beach to catch some waves and surf before heading to the harbor to meet up with a local fisherman. They set out to sea to catch some crayfish and other local seafood, which they bring back to the shore to cook up a delicious seafood feast.

In the kitchen, Dan and Hayden team up with a local culinary expert to prepare an array of dishes including crayfish with citrus butter, seared scallops with sweet corn puree, and grilled rock lobster with garlic and herbs. They also bake some fresh bread using the flour they milled earlier in the day.

Throughout the episode, the hosts immerse themselves in the local culture, meeting with farmers, fishermen, and chefs, and learning about the importance of sustainable farming and fishing practices.

Surfing the Menu season 3 episode 8 is a celebration of the unique flavors and culinary traditions of Esperance, Western Australia. From the freshly caught seafood to the locally grown grains and produce, the hosts explore the bounty of this beautiful region and share their love of cooking with viewers.
