Crayfish Pasta
Love the sport of spearfishing but don't have an inkling on how to cook a fish? In this new series founder and owner of Adreno, Tim Neilsen, will show you how to Cook Your Catch.
Possibly our favourite crayfish recipe - but you can substitute crayfish for prawns or fish as well! Simple is often best when it comes to pastas and you just can't go wrong with this gem of a recipe by Adreno founder Tim Neilsen. Don't be turned off by the addition of Anchovies either, it adds a salty flavour to the rich tomato base - trust us, just try it!
