Several weeks following my initial arrival in Sydney, my canuck friends Lauren & Alex, and U. K. friend Fionna, were preparing me for a trip to Sydney’s Fish Market for a seafood feast. (Why oh why would they think that I like seafood? *grin*)
In addition to several of Sydney’s top seafood suppliers, the Fish Market also has several on-site seafood restaurants. Among these, Doyle’s Seafood is perhaps one of the most well-known.
Among the items found on their restaurant menu is "The Fisherman’s Platter". One word to describe the experience: glutinous. Serious seafood for serious seafood people. As can be seen from the content list below, it’s an absolute smorgasbord of all the best the sea has to offer: lobster, crab, prawns, smoked salmon and calamari. Throw in some french fries for good measure, and you've got yourself a nice, light snack. :) It took a little while ... but we eventually did get through our food.
Contents of “The Fisherman’s Platter”:
1 large handful of French Fries
2 Crabs, steamed or boiled
12 Prawns, steamed or boiled
1 Lobster tail, boiled
12-16 rings of deep-fried Calimari
6 slices of Smoked Salmon, rolled
1 Lemon, cut into wedges
Method
Arrange ingredients on top of French Fries as shown, serve with some clarified butter on the side for dipping.
Should serve 2 people (I could have eaten it all myself … *grin*)
