SEAFOOD SPECTACULAR

On Saturday 30th July Chef Camillo treated 130 members and guests of the CYCSA to a great example of his passion for Seafood. The CYCSA Fishing Association in collaboration with the Social Activities Committee hosted the first seafood experience held at the Club for many years. While the focus was on providing guests with a great seafood experience using local South Australian produce, we wanted it to be a fun night too. To help achieve this we were joined by Tracey Tito, founder of ‘Team Just A Girl’, an all-woman fishing team, as our guest speaker for the event and we also ran a fish identification quiz that kept even our most experienced fishos scratching their heads for a while. On arrival, guests were greeted by staff who served welcome ‘bubbles’ and guided them to their tables as a video clip showed Tuna poling from the iconic Tarcoma Tuna fishing boat based out of Port Lincoln. Very shortly after the introduction to the local wild caught Tuna from the Tarcoma, which we were about to eat, we were treated to Sashimi Tuna and fresh shucked oysters that were being prepared in front of us. Entrées were followed by a lobster and gulf prawn velouté flavoured with moscato ‘the wine of love’ with poached blue swimmer crab, roasted slices of veal girello with a blue fin tuna and olive caviar, white anchovies, micro green salad with capers sauce; and grilled loin of garfish, pancetta, spinach, pine nuts and pea pesto finished with a tomato and white balsamic dressing. As we finished our main course, Tracey Tito treated us to an entertaining presentation about how Team Just a Girl was founded and then how she went on to launch the first allfemale fishing show on Australian TV, ‘Get Hooked with Team Justagirl’. Following the drawing of ‘door prizes’ and awarding our quiz winners their prizes, we were treated to Chef Camillo’s impressive dessert stage table. I would like to finish by thanking all the staff who made this event a success, with a special thankyou to Tommy who stepped up on the night to run the floor and keep the event running smoothly. To our Vice Commodore, Nick Bice, another thank you for doing a great job as our master of ceremonies.
