Food Safari Water

Some of the more unusual treasures of the water include the adored gastropod mollusc abalone which fetches up to $1300 a kilo and is a status present in the Chinese world. Diver James Palanowski works in eight-degree water off Tasmania's east coast to harvest abalone, which is then used by acclaimed Chinese chef Frank Shek, who teaches a home sous-vide method to achieve a tender, delicious spiced seafood which he incorporates into a spectacular omelette.
