Killer seafood?

So yesterday B takes me out. We decide to try something new. We visit 3 different restaurants that we have not been to, but they all appear to have either closed down or are currently under renovation. As a last resort B says “Jimmy’s Killer Prawns it is!”

Now I’m a little sceptical coz’ I am not a seafood fan but hey, don’t most seafood restaurants do steak too? And I’m sure I can remember eating Calamari once that was not too bad, maybe I could give that a try….

The restaurant is situated upstairs, in a busy shopping centre. We climb the stairs and find a waiter, Nathan, waiting for us at the top. “Smoking or not?” I dread this particular question… I no longer smoke but B does. If he decides on the smoking section we will once again be shunned to the little outside area where we will either freeze or boil depending on the temperature and most likely have to sit on uncomfortable garden furniture with plastic tablecloths being treated like the lepers from bygone days. The reply…Smoking….aagh!

The question was immediately followed by “Inside or out?” My turn now – inside please and voila we get seated in an enclosed smoking section decked out like the main restaurant area in style! Great place smokers feasting area!

Nathan handed us our menu’s and we took a peek. It has got to be the most interesting menu I’ve yet to come across. They have a “make your own meal” set up called “Choose your table” where you choose from a bunch of individual dishes and they get laid out as a platter serving for the table to share. We ummed and aahed and eventually came up a selection including:
Garlic snails
Queen prawns
Calamari strips
Line fish “Being butter fish on the day”
Rice
Tartar Sauce

The food was quick and tasty. What I loved was that you order what you want so you do not pay for garnishing or items on your plate you do not want.

Nathan watched us like a hawk, we never noticed of course, but the second we needed him he appeared from nowhere. He also had heaps of information regarding both the specials and the franchise as a whole, which apparently has restaurants in as far a field as France and Dubai.

I ordered a chocolate mousse for desert, my ultimate temptation, while B just had a filter coffee. My mousse was made from both dark and white chocolate and I took my sweet time about eating it.

For a seafood place it was not overpriced, the whole meal including soda’s and dessert came to a cool R200. Killer deal for Killer prawns!
