What the creator captured
Mark Wiens was stunned by the sheer scale of the 5kg Tasmanian king crab, describing its claw as being the size of his foot. He explored the Sydney Fish Market's immense diversity before heading to Mr Wong to see Chef Dan Hong's meticulous three-day roast duck process. The highlight of the experience was the anticipation of a Cantonese feast featuring the giant crab cooked three ways.

Planning notes for Sydney
Sydney, the capital of New South Wales, is situated on the east coast of Australia around the Port Jackson inlet. The area has a documented history of human habitation by the Eora people for approximately 60,000 years, followed by the establishment of a British penal colony in 1788 at Sydney Cove. The city's historical heritage is preserved in The Rocks, the oldest colonial settlement.
