Huon Valley Food & Wine Tours

The first ever Short street Masterclass is going to be on Saturday the 14th of December. Run on site at The Block Steakhouse @ the Manor in Huonville. If you would like to make a weekend of it, why not stay overnight at Rivefront Estate.

Short Street Master Class

Join the owner & operator of The Block steakhouse Jonathan Bull, for a smoking masterclass and lunch. Using grass fed, dry-aged Tasmanian beef from King 1801, Imperial Beef King Island.

During the Masterclass Jonathan will cover a range of points and cooking techniques including:

-Choosing the right quality beef, the right cut & the right size
-How to trim your brisket
-Seasoning your brisket
-Smoking for best results. Types of smokers, types of wood
-Setting smokers up at home
-Cooking your brisket, temperature, time & resting
-Preparing traditional accompaniments
-Hot smoking Huon salmon

As cooking the brisket from start to finish can take 12-18 hours, this class will step you through the entire process over a few hours. Getting you to the end result just in time to sit down to lunch. Don't worry you'll get plenty of opportunity to get your hands dirty.

The last hour of the experience will be a sit down lunch with Jonathan. We will serve all the fantastic local produce prepared on the day. The hot smoked salmon, the cooked brisket with traditional accompaniments and wine or beer to wash it down.

Fish & Chips in Huonville

Tangaroa Kai -Strictly Seafood - I have had fish and chips a few times from these lovey ladies, they park just down from the Globe Hotel on the Esplanade in Huonville. They have fresh fish from Dover Wharf. They are only there until 7:00pm and only on Thursday, Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays. They have a web page Strictly Seafood . Keep an eye out if you want some really nice fish and chips. Makes a nice meal to take back to your accommodation at Riverfront Estate .

Why Is the Huon River such a great spot to fish

That's easy, the Huon River. This is a spring afternoon on the banks of the Huon River. This shot shows why its such a great river to fish in the summer This afternoon the white bait, a small bait fish were running up and down the river banks. This could mean its likely to be a great trout season with this sort of early movements of bait fish. So if you are looking for some accommodation in the Huon Valley as a base for you fishing holiday in consider booking Riverfront Estate over the Xmas or New Year period.
