Fruits of the Sea – A Hands-On Cooking Experience​​​​​​

As part of Seaweed. A Celebration, Fruits of the Sea is a rare opportunity to cook with, taste, and learn about seaweed under the guidance of Zoë Brittain (Deakin University).

This hands-on workshop invites participants into the kitchen to prepare dishes using local marine algae, explore its flavours and textures, and share a meal together. 

Along the way, Zoë will introduce the culinary possibilities of seaweed — from umami depth to subtle salinity and omelettes to ice cream — while unpacking its vital role in healthy marine ecosystems and resilient coastal food systems.

Part cooking class, part shared table, and part ocean story, Fruits of the Sea offers a unique chance to experience seaweed not just as an ingredient, but as a living connection between reef, plate, and place. Seaweed for breakfast, lunch and dinner? Omelette, sushi, pasta and ice cream with red algae. Participate in preparation and enjoy the fruits of your labour from the sea!!!

Places are limited.
