Hooked on Flavour: A Gourmet Journey from Ocean to Plate
Learn how to prepare fresh sashimi, poke, and more — straight from the sea.
For food lovers and adventurers alike, our Ocean to Plate experience is the perfect fusion of sea, skill, and flavour. It begins with a guided fishing trip where you’ll learn to catch high-quality species like kingfish or snapper using sustainable techniques and expert knowledge.
Then the real magic happens—back on shore or on the boat, you’ll be guided through the preparation of your fresh catch into mouthwatering dishes. Think buttery sashimi slices, flavour-packed poke bowls, ceviche with a citrus zing, and more.
It’s not just a meal—it’s a hands-on culinary journey from ocean to plate. Learn new skills, taste the freshness of your catch, and share a one-of-a-kind experience with friends, family, or fellow foodies. No fishing or cooking experience needed—just bring your appetite for adventure.
