Ngarrindjeri people have been harvesting Kuti (also known as Pipis and Cockles if you’re a South Australian) for over 10,000 years. KutiCo owns over 15% of the South Australian Pipi fishery. This investment has Ngarrindjeri people back ‘on country’ that plays such an important part in their culture. Walk through the sandhills surrounding the Kuti Shack and you’ll probably come across piles of shells, or middens, which are reminders of ancient gatherings. The Ngarrindjeri were onto the sweet, nutty taste of a Kuti thousands of years before it turned up in restaurants and fishmongers throughout Australia. The delicacy comes straight out of pristine waters that are part of Ngarrindjeri country. On the side of the Kuti Shack is a spectacular artwork of the Coorong which was painted by local Ngarrindjeri artist Cedric Varcoe. This painting is just one of a number of Coorong inspired pieces created by Cedric, who will be doing more of his great work at the Kuti Shack, including demonstrating his skill over the summer period.
WELCOME TO KUTI SHACK
Nestled amongst the sand hills of Goolwa Beach. Kuti Shack is the result of Goolwa PipiCo and our Kuti Co partners sitting down with a couple of mates, who just happen to be really good at cooking and deciding to go into business together. Having worked at and headed up some of South Australia’s finest restaurants, Brendan and Vanessa do incredible things with Fleurieu produce. Kuti Shack features local fish and many of the Fleurieu’s finest ingredients, including the mighty Kuti (Pipi) of course. Kuti Shack is all about creating exciting new and innovative Pipi dishes with local indigenous ingredients. But for those who are still to jump on the #pipirevolution there is a host of other seafood, produce, wine and craft beer from the Fleurieu, cooked by local creative chefs. Whenever possible our seafood and produce is sourced from local and sustainable producers.
