The Southern Rock Lobster is among the world’s
most highly rated seafood delicacies, but that hasn’t stopped
Kangaroo Island’s Ferguson family making this tasty crustacean
even more tempting.
Through some clever lateral thinking, Ferguson Australia
has developed a range of prestige gourmet rock lobster products,
specialty simmer sauces and unique lobster flavoured oil. The
products are being used by top chefs in some of the world’s
finest restaurants, and visitors to the family’s processing
plant at Kingscote have access to the full range – and more.
The Ferguson’s also fish for another of South
Australia’s crustacean specialties – the amazing king
crab – and purchase Spencer Gulf Western King Prawns from
local fishers. Visitors are also given more than just an opportunity
to buy the seafood. They can take part in an educational tour
of the facility, view the live animals in holding and feeding
tanks, and learn about their full life cycle and fishing techniques.
Due to the innovative nature of the Ferguson’s
– who have been fishing for three generations – there
is no limit on when you can purchase the product. While the normal
fishing period for Southern Rock Lobster is just six months, a
successful research and development program into holding tanks
means they are now always in season.
Even purchasing the seafood has been made easy.
People unable to take the seafood with them can organise delivery
of the fresh product, as well as the processed range. This includes
lobster medallions, cooked meat, raw tail (Japanese sashimi grade),
liver, lobster spiders (without the tail) and oil.
From Emu Bay to American River can be found
some of the Islands premier food producers. The sheep milk dairy
at Island Pure offers visitors
the opportunity to observe milking, cheese production, tastings
and sales. Ferguson
Australia produces some of the world’s finest lobster
and prawn products. At their holding shed in Kingscote you can
view live king crabs, lobster and if your lucky some creatures
just for the kids.
Kangaroo Island Ligurian
Honey’s processing factory and Fryar’s
Kangaroo Island Free Range Egg Farm, which produces 19,000
eggs per day are also located in this area.
The towns of Kingscote and American River offer
many accommodation and dining options with picturesque locations
on the waters edge. Don’t miss the wonderful views around
Bay of Shoals winery, just
behind Kingscote.
