Turban shells has been a traditional food for coastal aboriginal communities for tens of thousands of years. The shell has even been recorded as being used to craft crude fishing hooks. Turban shells are a group of molluscs known as gastropods. They are characterised by a large spiral shell and heavy door (operculum) which they can close to protect their meaty body from predators.
\n\nSimilar to Abalone, these molluscs are vegetarians, grazing on rocky reefs covered in algae. They have a similar texture and taste to Abalone, but with a smaller foot. To open, the sell is cracked, the operculum prized open or blanched whole which allows for easy removal of the meat.

Seaweed is chock-full of vitamins, minerals and fibre. For at least 1,500 years, the Japanese have enrobed a mixture of raw fish, sticky rice, and other ingredients in a seaweed called nori. The delectable result is a sushi roll. Certain seaweeds do, in fact, possess powerful cancer-fighting agents that researchers hope will eventually prove effective in the treatment of malignant tumours and leukaemia. While dietary soy was long credited for the low rate of cancer in Japan, this indicator of robust health is now attributed to dietary seaweed. Australia is one of the most diverse places in the world for seaweed and as we learn more about its wonderful health benefits, it is expected that significant commercial interest will rapidly grow in this sector.

\n\nSea Urchins are an ancient life form known as echinoderms, which include starfish and sea cucumbers. Sea urchins have been eaten as a traditional food by many cultures around the world for tens of thousands of years. The quality of NSW sea urchin is world class and are now being exported overseas as a delicacy. In many parts of NSW sea urchins are considered to be over abundant and are causing “urchin barrens” which is the local extinction of seaweed beds. The collection of sea urchins is helping to restore this balance allowing seaweed regeneration. The NSW sea urchin fishery is considered to be a highly sustainable and well managed fishery. All sea urchins are collected by hand, one at a time. This ensures minimal disturbance to marine habitat. By eating sea urchins, you are helping to protect our coastal inshore reefs.
