Summary
When life closes your fishery, apparently the answer is swordfish. Anthony Heslewood had built his livelihood around fishing in Western Australia when the rules—and the future—changed beneath him. He could have packed it in, found a sensible job and spent his weekends discussing lawn. Instead, he headed to Augusta and began pursuing broadbill swordfish: part fish, part gladiator and entirely unreasonable. In this episode of the Fishtales Seafood Podcast, we talk about the brutal reality of a fishery closure, the courage required to start again and the rather steep learning curve involved in chasing one of the ocean’s most elusive predators. Revolution Fisheries is aptly named. This is a cracking story about fish, failure, opportunity and refusing to stay buggered. https://revolutionfisheries.com Follow Fishtales, a Seafood Podcast on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/fishtalesseafoodpodcast/ Follow John Susman https://www.instagram.com/fisheads/?hl=en Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ Follow Huck (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER FOR EXCLUSIVE ARTICLES, NEWS, GIVEAWAYS AND BEHIND THE SCENES https://deepintheweeds.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=d33e307cf7100cf947e2e6973&id=d17d8213f5 The Fishtales Seafood podcast with John Susman will tell the stories of the catchers, growers, sellers and servers of seafood around the world.
