While the northern hemisphere is experiencing a cold winter, Australia in the southern hemisphere is enjoying a warm summer! So taking advantage of the holidays, many domestic friends choose to travel to Australia to spend the winter. So what kind of delicacies can you taste when traveling to Australia? Let’s take a look with me.

As one of the most famous immigrant countries in the world, Australia’s cuisine has inherited a diverse style. In terms of ingredients, the vast territory and polarized climate have given birth to delicious meat varieties. The pure environment has also created the pure quality of Australian seafood, including various flavors of Australian lobster, oysters, mussels, cod, salmon, etc. , and a seafood stew cleverly paired with local sauces; in terms of cooking techniques, Asian, French and Mediterranean styles are integrated. Young Australian cuisine allows chefs to make many novel attempts without traditional baggage.

1. Kangaroo meat

The taste of kangaroo meat is somewhat similar to beef, but it is not as tender as beef and has nothing special. However, tasting kangaroo meat, Australia’s national animal, undoubtedly has another layer of cultural flavor. The sale of kangaroo meat is allowed in most states. Some butchers supply fresh meat, and some restaurants offer kangaroo meat dishes at a price close to that of beef.

For Chinese tourists who have just arrived in Australia and tasted it for the first time, eating delicious kangaroo meat really requires some "skills". The locals like to eat kangaroo meat that has been roasted for a long time, but most Chinese people are not used to it. Therefore, you need to tell the waiter in advance to grill the meat tenderly, otherwise you will find it difficult to swallow when you first taste it.

The condiments used when eating grilled kangaroo meat are usually salt, pepper and lemon. It is best to add a little chili, because the kangaroo meat is slightly sour and not suitable for Chinese tastes. Dip it in some chili. Eating it not only suppresses the sour taste but is also very delicious.

2. King crab

The so-called king crab refers to the fatness of the crab. The big king crab is as big as a basin. It makes people salivate just looking at it. Some people even take the king crab shell with them. Returned to the country as a souvenir.

3. Oysters

Oysters are also called oysters. Australian oysters are fat, clean, and cheap ($6/12 pieces). Oysters can be eaten raw or steamed. There are many Hong Kong people who come to Australia to eat oysters, jokingly saying that it is worth the price of a plane ticket. The fresh oysters don't even have their lids opened. Customers can watch the salesperson open the lids and squeeze fresh lemon juice onto the oysters and eat them raw with sauce. It's endlessly delicious.

4. Abalone

Australia is rich in abalone. However, Australians don’t know how to eat abalone. Apart from being exported, abalone is basically only available in Chinese restaurants. Previously, abalone cost only a few Australian dollars per kilogram. Since a large number of Chinese arrived in Australia, the price has gradually increased to more than 30 Australian dollars.

5. Lobster

Australian lobster is the most famous in China. When you come to the hometown of lobster, the price of lobster may not be cheap.

6. Salmon

Salmon is mainly eaten raw, which has high hygiene requirements. The salmon abundant in Australia should be said to be the most hygienic.

7. Fresh seafood at the Sydney Fish Market

A local food center is the Sydney Fish Market, which is the birthplace of Sydney’s delicious seafood. There are piles of prawns like hills, shining in the sun, countless kinds of fish, oysters, lobsters, clams and fresh and sweet clams. Some retailers in the fish market also sell a variety of seafood takeaways, ranging from sashimi, sushi, grilled calamari and grilled octopus, to Malaysian-style spicy rice noodle soup.

So you just need to do the same as the locals, buy a bottle of beer or wine from the fish market shop, find a big table under an umbrella on the pier, and dine together with the locals , and then in the next few hours eating delicious food while watching the boat rise and fall in the waves is also a rare pleasure. You can also continue your culinary journey at the Sydney Seafood Cooking Academy at the Fish Market, where Sydney's top chefs will teach you how to prepare a variety of seafood.
