Charbon by Thammachart Seafood, which opened to great fanfare in December, has built up a loyal following for its flame-cooked specialties on the ground floor of Phrom Phong’s EMSPHERE. The eatery recently hosted the Chef’s Table event “Charbon’s Flaming Feast With Fremantle Octopus”, together with the sustainable seafood firm Fremantle Octopus.
This event highlighted its enticing fusion of culinary art and open-flame cookery, featuring the finest ingredients and sustainable seafood. Co-founders Mr. Julian G. Davies and Mrs. Yeeran G. Davies were on-hand to cordially welcome the esteemed guests to the venue.
Diners were able to sample three delightful dishes, expertly prepared by Charbon’s Head Chef Jahlinnson Rodriguez, seen to the right of the second photo below, who teamed up with Fremantle Octopus Product Specialist Sina Sucuka, seen in the photo with the chef.
Those in attendance had the opportunity to hear from Sina regarding Marine Stewardship Council-certified fisheries and the wild-caught processes that Fremantle Octopus employ in order to lessen the impact on wild fish populations and the broader ecological system.
He also discussed the company’s methods of traceability with the gathered diners, noting that each item has a barcode on the back of the package. This unique marking charts the product’s journey from ocean to plate, providing consumers full transparency concerning its origins and processing methods so they can be assured of excellent safety standards.
Sina also extolled the health benefits of octopus, known for its high levels of protein, iron, Omega-3 oil and zinc, without containing harmful cholesterol. Octopuses consume many different seafood species, such as swimmer crabs, prawns, scallops, lobsters, and more.
