I almost didn’t take photos.
I’ve been trying to enjoy food rather than blog food, but halfway through I was suddenly annoyed with myself for not taking a photo.
It looked so pretty, and tasted so good.
Red Cray is a favourite seafood restaurant of ours.
It’s an every-so-often restaurant, mostly because of the price. At $30 for a main meal you expect quality, and we got it.
I could have ordered about 3 different main courses, but ended up with Herb Crusted Barramudi with scallops, spinach, feta, and capsicum, mashed potato and a lemon butter sauce.
The other half had the ocean and earth. Which was perfectly cooked steak with prawns and a bay bug.
My barramundi was delicious. I had to stop myself from gulping everything down, the lemon butter sauced helped it nicely.
Fortunately the other half ordered a whole bay bug which was fortuitous as that slipped down rather easily too.
We even had desert, which is a rarity for us. The sticky date was sticky and gooey. Though I would have enjoyed the caramel sauce and the vanilla bean icecream just as much. The taste I had of the tiramisu was pretty delicious too.
When the other half says ‘terrible!’ with a smirk and a licked clean plate, the sarcasm is implied.
It was an early dinner, and the service was exceptional. So attentive and friendly. It’s probably the reason we ordered desert.
We even had a spectacular sunset (why it doesn’t back onto the river I don’t know) and the fish tanks are always fascinating.
A reliable feed.
And given that the service and food is always quality, I don’t mind paying a bit more from time to time.
Delicious!
Sounds great! I am usually not that keen on seafood, but I was once in Venice, and ate such a great meal with fish there (can’t remember shich one) that I am more open to the idea of good seafood π
I didn’t eat seafood until 4 years ago. I couldn’t get past the idea of it. But my other half adores seafood. I guess having someone passionate guide you through it helps.
Red Cray is an amazing restaurant, Loren and I have gone only a few times but lived it each time. Like the pictures, looks like an awesome meal π
Looks delicious! Sometimes it is so nice to treat yourself and your SO to a nice dinner π
