kingfish
The most important ingredient in our food is Lord Howe Island kingfish. It’s one of the best table fish in the world. Each day, local fishermen supply Pinetrees with top quality kingfish from the world’s most southern coral reef ecosystem. Often, the fish are caught by our guests.
Many Pinetrees guests stay for 10 days and eat kingfish every night, so variety in its preparation is essential. The signature ‘Fish Fry’ buffet features kingfish sashimi and sushi, followed by traditional beer-battered kingfish and chips. Some other dishes that showcase our kingfish repertoire are:
Yoghurt marinated Lord Howe Island kingfish
with watermelon, mint and Persian fetta salad, and raspberry reduction
Olive crusted Lord Howe Island kingfish
with soft polenta, confit tomato, and salsa verde
Pan fried Lord Howe Island kingfish
with lemon risotto, fresh asparagus, and cherry tomatoes
Tataki of Lord Howe Island kingfish
with green mango and lychee salad
Herb marinated Lord Howe Island kingfish
with lemon preserve pilaf, and tomato, capsicum and fennel salsa
Miso glazed Lord Howe Island kingfish
with rice noodles, Asian greens, and shitake mushroom and mussel broth
"I would also like to commend the entire staff who all appear to be happy in their work and added a friendly touch to our stay."
