Fitzroy River Flavours

Cooking on the Fitzroy with roel van camp

Seeing as the Fitzroy is Australia’s premier barra‑busting river system, we’ve created our very own Fishing the Fitzroy Recipe Series—a celebration of the region’s incredible seafood and the flavours that make Rockhampton truly unique.

In these bite‑sized 1–2 minute videos, local chef Roel Van Camp welcomes you to his favourite spots along the Fitzroy, showing you how he turns our world‑class catch into simple, delicious dishes you can recreate at home including:

  • Threadfin salmon cooked in banana leaf w/ turmeric, lemongrass & coconut
  • Crispy fried barramundi, Thai green apple salad w/ toasted coconut & nahm jim
  • Mud crab pasta with brown butter, lemon & fresh herbs

So what are you waiting for? Watch the videos, download the recipes, get inspired and bring a taste of the Fitzroy to your table.
