MJ's little flock

[MaryJanet]

It's a whiting fillet (I think), calamari and prawns on chips, with a salad. In this picture the calamari and prawns are crumbed and I think the whiting has been lightly battered and fried. And in Adelaide we call that type of salad a Greek salad to honour the migrants from Greece who introduced it.

When I was a student I worked in a seafood restaurant which served fisherman's basket all grilled (pan fried in olive oil), crumbed then deep fried, or just the fish battered then deep fried, or a mix, but the prawns and calamari were never battered.

What sort of fishes are available where you live @WhoDatChick ? Here, there's whiting, gar, snapper, flathead, bream. Up where @Ribh lives i think there might be barramundi. Is that right, ribh?

Bit further north for those, MaryJanet. Here it's bream, schnapper, mangrove jacks, flathead, whiting...shark... Crabs: muddies & sandies, Bugs & prawns.

And seafood lovers: I know perfectly well what I'm missing & it's all yours! Enjoy ~ so long as it's a long, loooong way away from me!

Mmmmm bugs. It's been too long since my last bug.

Seafood is the house specialty round here. We've been to the Lighthouse several times. John used to share a seafood basket with his mum [A feast of fresh, chilled local seafood including, lobster, bugs, crab, prawns, mussels, smoked salmon, oysters and trio of sauces (gf w/o sauces]. He calls their prawns the Dancing Prawns because they sit upright in such a way all their little feelers waggle. How you could eat them after that I do not know...

 

[MaryJanet]

I might have to round up a few chums and go for a seafood dinner

The dancing prawns are a bridge too far for me too.
