“I Was Fascinated by How Difficult It Was”: Josh Niland’s Fish Butchery

“I Was Fascinated by How Difficult It Was”: Josh Niland’s Fish Butchery

Author: Broadsheet September 4, 2023 Duration: 29:25

Josh Niland has been a game changer in the way Australia thinks about fish. Passionate about seafood sustainability, the groundbreaking chef has pioneered practices that use as much of the fish as possible, beyond just the fillet. These innovative techniques are now laid out in his new book Fish Butchery, both a collection of recipes and a guide to cooking with intention. Josh joins Around Town to discuss his third cookbook, how to make the most of every fish and why we need to rethink the idea of 'fresh' when it comes to seafood.

Every other Tuesday, Broadsheet Sydney: Around Town offers a quiet conversation with someone shaping the city's character. This isn't about headlines or trends, but the people behind the places and ideas that define daily life here. You might hear from a chef who quietly reimagined a neighborhood's dining scene, or an artist whose work changes how we see a familiar street. The discussion could just as easily turn to the craft of a local distiller or the vision of a small shop owner whose taste influences what we wear. Hosted by Broadsheet, each episode is a deliberate look at the intersections of food, art, fashion, and society, revealing how creative minds build the culture we experience. Tuning into this podcast feels like pulling up a chair at a corner table with the most interesting person in the room-the stories are specific, the impact is tangible, and the focus is always on the human element driving Sydney forward. It’s for anyone curious about the why and the who behind the city's vibrant surface.
