ZAC takes three equal pieces of fish and freezes them individually. One is vacuum sealed, one is cling wrapped, and the other is frozen in a zip-lock bag.
After several months in the freezer, Zac defrosts the fish, and on this podcast, we hear how each fillet tastes compared to the other. Interesting results!

Zac Panaretos catches up with chefs and fishos to chat about catching, cooking, and sustainable seafood.
Ahead of the 2026 Trophy Hunter Snapper Bash, Zac sat down with event founders Sondal Bensan and Michael Bonnici at the Pier Hotel in Coffs Harbour to uncover the story behind one of Australia’s fastest-growing snapper competitions.
We dive into the ethos of the event, what anglers can expect on the water, and share valuable insights on conditions, tactics, techniques, and safety before lines hit the water.
