"A Sydney restaurant whose chef demonstrated rigorous sustainability by using every part of a fish down to the bones and eyeballs, exemplifying a nose-to-tail, waste-minimizing philosophy." - ByPervaiz Shallwani
"Josh Niland’s The Whole Fish Cookbook won two James Beard Awards and praise from international culinary figures like Yotam Ottolenghi, Nigella Lawson, and Matty Matheson. It also put the spotlight on Niland’s ambitious fin-to-tail cooking at his restaurant, Saint Peter. He once served Osteria Francescana’s Massimo Bottura an unconventional dessert flavored with fish fat and scales — and it was such a triumph, Niland put it on Saint Peter’s menu. More recently, he switched out eggs for fish eyes in ice cream and shared the trick in his Fish Butchery cookbook." - Lee Tran Lam
"Saint Peter focuses on seafood, exactingly butchered and creatively handled, sometimes using a dry-aging process that enhances the flavors just as with fine beef. Chef Josh Niland serves the best quality fish available daily, including lesser-known varieties and fish parts that are delicious but often overlooked." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"In Australia, chef-owner Josh Niland of Saint Peter restaurant is also famous for dry-aging fish and publishing The Whole Fish Cookbook, which also covers the topic." - Jean Trinh
