Hosting a Memorable Familiarisation Tour: Catch and Cook Blue Swimmer Crab for Adelaide Metro Hotel Guests

What could be more exhilarating than catching your own seafood? Recently, we had the pleasure of hosting a familiarisation tour for the concierge teams from the Intercontinental Hotel and the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Adelaide. Despite the grey skies and the wind putting a damper on the day, we struck gold with our crabbing adventure before the rain finally arrived.

Seeing the excitement on everyone’s faces, documented in the video included later in this article, truly made it all worthwhile. The look of joy when they caught their first blue swimmer crab is something we’ll carry with us. This hands-on experience is one that our future guests from the Adelaide metro hotels will have the chance to enjoy.


A Heartfelt Thanks to Our Partners


A key part of our tour was the warmth and exceptional service provided by the team at the Ardrossan Hotel. Their hospitality turned a regular day into an unforgettable experience. A standout moment for me was their incredible Blue Swimmer Crab Laksa that was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. Did you know that fresh blue swimmer crab can elevate any dish with its sweet and tender flavor?

The taste of the freshly caught crab left a significant impression. Everyone’s camaraderie enhanced the enjoyment. Our culinary journey went beyond just crabbing; we demonstrated the art of extracting succulent crab meat from its shell using various techniques and tools. Our goal was to enrich participants' culinary knowledge and inspire them to explore new gastronomic horizons.
