Description

A seafood platter is the pinnacle of many festive gatherings. Filled with fresh seafood, simply prepared it’s the ultimate share plate.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 800g cooked prawns
  • 1 dozen fresh oysters
  • 2 Morton Bay bugs
  • fresh lemons cut into wedges
  • A selection of sauces that pair well with seafood – I use seafood sauce and tartare sauce.

Instructions

  1. Lay a bed of ice on the base of a cast iron shallow casserole or platter.
  2. Pop the seafood condiments into dipping dishes and place on the platter.
  3. Arrange the seafood around the dipping sauces.
  4. Finish with lemon wedges.

Notes

A finger bowl is an essential part of a seafood platter. A small bowl full of water with a slice of lemon is sufficient for people to wash their fingers in between bites.
