Put a wetland a salmon farm a ginseng farm and Ziggy Pyka together and you have an enterprise known as 410 South.
Having sampled the smoked salmon rillettes (pate like) on a previous visit to Tasmania I was determined to know more. The fresh water hot smoked salmon mixed with butter, yogurt a herb and spice mix which includes Tasmanian mountain pepper is simply “the best” I have tasted.
Situated outside of Deloraine in Tasmania this unique inland fish (Tasmanian Atlantic Salmon) and ginseng farm is environmentally friendly sustainable system.
Using the wetland area as a natural filter for the water from the fish ponds, Ziggy and his team have been able to rejuvenate a wetland area from being overwhelmed by introduced species to a haven flourishing with native flora and fauna
However before all that, Ziggy and his family first began to establish a ginseng nursery which was what attracted them to Tasmania . Ziggy an entertaining guy tells all about this on the video clip.
Lots of great products available at the tasting room and cafe from Hot smoked salmon, smoked salmon rillettes, a range of ginseng infused vodka and gin, leatherwood honey and ginseng, a ginseng spice blend which is great seasoning for meat, fish and salads. The spices and method used to hot smoke the baby salmon does not dominate but enhances the natural flavours of the fish.
410 South does online orders with best freight options offered to customers to maintain quality of product. So if you would like to try any of the products go to their website to order, or on your next trip to Tassie it is well worth a visit. They also have a small wine range created for them off site.
