The West Australian's Tastes of BroomeWritten on the 15 March 2016  "The West Australian's Tastes of Broome")
A region's history and mood is so often told through its cuisine, finds Gemma Nisbet.
In the elegant surrounds of Cygnet Bay Pearls' showroom in Broome's Chinatown, a woman wearing a smart black dress and adorned with pearls at her ears, neck and fingers is prising open a pearl oyster with a long knife. "Obviously this isn't normally done in a gallery," laughs Jessie Bancroft, Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm's tourism and accommodation manager, as she opens the oyster to reveal a good-sized pearl.The gem isn't the reason we're here, though. Instead I've come pretty much fresh off the plane from Perth to taste a flavour that's just about as distinctively Broome as it gets: pearl meat. source: The West Australian
