The Australian menu uses fresh fish, lobsters, blue crabs, prawns, freshwater oysters and scallops, as well as shark lips, and fried eels, which are abundantly sold in supermarkets and fish markets. They are prepared according to refined recipes under multi-component sauces, and served with a rice garnish. Traditional dishes include Tasmanian glazed salmon baked with tomatoes, croutons, barracuda and barramundi fish, fried snapper or white-bait, and trout cooked in a special way. The fish is put on a brazier with coals covered with a layer of grass. On top of it is laid another layer of grass with additional portions of hot coals. The fish baked in this way has a very special taste.
