A Year Of Rawfish
October 10th 2008 09:48
I don’t mean it’s been a year of eating nothing but raw fish. I mean it is one year since I began blogging on Rawfish. Rawfish has become the Number One food site on Orble according to the computer generated traffic statistics. Number One Food Site! I want to express how grateful I am to all the readers that have put Rawfish there.
In the past year Rawfish has featured many of my own recipes as well as some old school classics. Documentary style stories on pineapples, or crustaceans, are interspersed with photos of food festivals, restaurant reviews, art exhibitions and musical performances.
Gold Coast Sporting events have also been reported. There’s a lot of enthusiasm for surfing, swimming, boating and other watersports here, and it’s hard to ignore Indy, enthusiastic or not. In the second year of Rawfish I intend to continue reporting these topics, while broadening my scope.
Without straying too far from my avowed focus on the Gold Coast and its food scene, I plan to include some new features. I would like to introduce some of the Coasts top Chefs in a series of personal profiles, perhaps concluding with a favourite recipe.
A day in the life of primary producers will conduct readers on a virtual tour. What is a day at the office like for a farmer, cheesemaker, winemaker, fisherman or slaughterman?
Wildlife Of The Gold Coast will feature the native flora and fauna of South East Queensland, from frogs to fruitbats and everything between. If I ever manage a photo of the rare and elusive Richmond Birdwing Butterflies that live around here, I’ll relate their story.
All recipes on Rawfish are copyrighted, which just means readers are free to copy them for private use but not for republication. In fact, I have asked the Orble team if it is possible to provide a print friendly version to readers. They tell me they are working on it. All the images are my original photography (and subject to copyright) except for a handful which are credited to their creators.
Thanks again to my readers, and especially my loyal subscribers, for making Rawfish number one. Thanks to my Online Journalism lecturer who trained me in practical techniques using a WYSIWYG program (What You See Is What You Get) such as the one at Orble. Finally, thanks to the team at Orble for making a complex procedure as simple as possible for a technophobe like me.
