Soft spot for sea food

I still remember the time I was watching Ocean Odyssey with my friends (a documentary on a sperm whale), and there was a time where I couldn't take it anymore. Sounds absurd, but I was so smitten by the sperm whale and the stunning squids (almost the size of the bus), I wanted to relish them all. I am desperately waiting for the day when I would catch and cook.

When it comes to seafood, my heart craves for shellfish over fish. Prawns, lobsters, crabs, mussels, squids, tiger prawns, just can’t stop raving about it. If it’s fish my heart is set on surmai (luscious and chubby), shark and tuna.



Where to head;

Mahesh Lunch Home – Crabs cooked in garlic sauce with spring onions (a bit too expensive 1800/-), lobster (any sauce of your choice, again 1600/-), batter fried squids, clams (cooked in Mangalorean style). Our last visit took us back by 7000/- for two, but all in all it’s a good option for seafood cravings.

Gajalee – good place but the service is slow. Their tandoori tiger prawns, crabs and surmai are truly amazing.

Gomantak – one can only visit this place for the food. Their Prawns curry thali and Surmai tawa fry are to die for.

Had recently been to BBQn during the sea food festival, snapper was very well cooked but the overall experience was disappointing. Can't blame them much, there was a mad rush and the service took a beat!!!!
