Executive Chef at
Stokehouse Restaurant

Jason has a genuine passion for seafood and sustainability. Sustainability has always been a major factor in what he does as a human and a chef. His passion for seafood stemmed from a stint on a yacht in Alaska as a private chef. Catching wild salmon, Dungeness crab, huge halibuts, and everything in between, utilising those precious ingredients with no waste — something sparked. He then moved to Australia in 2012 and became passionate about cooking with local produce. Australian seafood is very special, and some of the best in the world.
