N/A to the person(s) doing the ordering.


It was said to be a local attraction, and Ramli found out that it wasn't listed in some of the Sydney attractions booklet/brochures.

It opens 7 days per week from 7 am. In Ramli's opinion, it is best to go there around 11 for brunch, before it's too hot to sit outside and get irritated by the birds, and after it's a bit cold to sit outside and get irritated by the birds.

Some people say they sell cheap seafood. However Ramli thinks that since they have been commercialised and the increasing flooding of Chinese tourists, they are not to be considered 'cheap' anymore. Ramli and family (6 person) ordered 1/2 dozen of oysters, tuna and salmon sashimi, 6x scallops, 1/2 kg king prawns, a grilled blue eye cod, a grilled burramundi, fried anchovies, 1/2 kg grilled mussels (with butter and garlic sauce), grilled squid (with sweet chilli sauce),4x grilled lobsters and a bottle of white wine, and they cost just below $200 mark. The lobsters cost around $68 (including $7.50 cooking charge). Nonetheless they are still very much cheaper than any Chinese restaurant that will charge you $40-$140 for a burramundi.

The attraction is really the variaty of seafood available for you to handpick and cooked to eat on the spot, with a reasonable price and Anzac bridge and Pyrmont bay view. Oh and let's not forget about the seagulls and pelicans that will help you clean up your leftovers (with or without your approval).

By the way, the butter and garlic sauce is really something.
