Lesser Known Species Thrust into Spotlight
Earlier this month chefs Don Hancey and Pete Manifis, WAFIC representative Danika and industry veteran Jim Mendolia had the opportunity to change first to third year hospitality student mindsets on underutilised WA species at a workshop earlier in the month. The 30+ students enjoyed the educational experience – learning about our great sustainable seafood industry (with plenty of #waseafood to try thanks to 2 great seafood chefs). West Australian journalist Jenne Bremer wrote an excellent article detailing the event – click to read: http://bit.ly/2zuOLbu
