Deep-to-Dish: Tasmanian Seafood Experience

If you love freshly caught seafood excellently prepared for your dining pleasure than this excursion is well worth the price. Yes, it' s not inexpensive but considering the high quality and value seafood that one gets [Tasmanian rock lobster, uni (sea urchin), abalone, salmon, periwinkles (snails), oysters and mussels] with accompanying side dishes, including smoked salmon, and drinks, you really get your money's worth. What was really great was that the uni, abalone and periwinkles were freshly caught off the boat. For a number of the seafood they were prepared using different techniques including eating sashimi style and cooked with various sauces or just simply steamed. The variety of cooking styles was really appreciated as one could appreciate the nuances in taste of the seafood. They also go out of their way to please you and have lots of great stories to tell (especially from Shawn), including the visit with celebrity Chef Gordan Ramsey. What was also great is how accommodating the staff are to your desires, as we asked for the salmon head to be cooked and they obliged (wonderful eating). Since we booked directly with the operator they were also able to accommodate some food allergies that we have. Julie was really helpful with this and even provided recommendations for dining in Hobart which was really appreciated.

The cruise has beautiful views around Hobart, the staff were knowledgeable and willing to share. As well, the food and serving was interesting with information about seafood and different ways to try it. This tour is absolutely value for money.

Awesome day. Easy to book, great communication. Easy to locate. The 4 staff were friendly and informative and attentive. The seafood was amazing and prepared and presented well. The boat was clean and comfortable. The atomosphere was relaxed with 15 guests. Would recommend.

Amazing adventure, great crew that were welcoming, professional and made you feel at ease with their friendly and knowledgeable manner. Plenty of every dish that was on offer and opportunity to try your hand at Oyster shucking etc. The prep and cooking demos were the main attraction, got to see and then eat, Abalone, Sea Urchin roe, Periwinkle, Salmon, Oysters, Crays and so much more along with wine, beer, soft drinks and Tea/ Coffee. Great value for money and a must- do while in Hobart.

We had the best day ever. The staff were awesome and so friendly. The boat was very roomy and clean. The seafood was amazing and plenty to go around for everyone, the drink selection was excellent. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone!!

One of the best experience I’ve had. Can’t get more fresh then deep to dish. Special mention to the staff also.

Really good experience. So much seafood, it was amazing. The staff were very informativr and attentive

For us, Hong Kong locals, it is difficult to enjoy a delicious seafood meal surrounded by the sun and sea wind. The servants are polite, attentive and impressive. We will definitely recommend this restaurant to family and friends.

Outstanding day. Incredible seafood beautifully prepared literally straight from the ocean. Fantastic, friendly and informative crew. Our stand out experience of our Tasmanian travels

The staff were highly professional and friendly. As a solo traveler I would have appreciated an introduction of everyone as a group. The experience is a bit expensive for what you get. However, such is travel. Note that most of the seafood will have been already caught/purchased prior to the outing. I was hoping to see a bit more of the "fishing" but I would say you are mostly observing the preparing and cooking. This is fine but set your expectations in advance for this.
