Bernie, Australia

Being in Bernie, Australia it makes sense to write about Tasmanian Sea Trout.  Here is a dish of slow cooked Tasmanian Sea Trout on warmed papaya with shiso leaf and crispy lotus root.  The lotus root provides a crisp nutty texture to the tender fish.  The papaya is warmed and dressed with lime juice and salt a firm terrine like texture below the fish.  The shiso leaf adds an herbal note, which piques the flavors of the fish and the papaya.  A pomegranate syrup adds an acidic point to the dish.
