Fishtales: Andrew Mirosch (Chef and Commercial Fisherman) - following his fishing dream
While most 13-year-olds might spend their birthday with a party shared among family or friends, Andrew Mirosch was battling a gale in a small fishing boat. Always keen on fishing, as a young boy Andrew would try his luck on the beach or off the rocks at Stradbroke Island with his grandparents, or by himself at night. He always wanted to be a fisherman But Andrew trained and has been a chef for more than 35 years. In 1995, he hung up the apron for a fishing rod to follow his first dream of becoming a professional fisherman. The kitchen lured him back however and still fishing during the day developed a successful seafood restaurant on Stradbroke Island selling plates of his catch - all of his catch, whatever the species or cut. Andrew is a fierce environmentalist, driven as much by sustainability as by cuisine. https://www.instagram.com/growerfisherchef/?hl=en Follow Fishtales, a Seafood Podcast on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/fishtalesseafoodpodcast/ Follow John Susman https://www.instagram.com/fisheads/?hl=en Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ Follow Huck (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork
