Know the origin of the seafood served :

Australia is blessed with a great coastline being an island continent. A variety of freshest seafood comes as an additional luxury for its people. It is always better to order a wild-caught fish than to a farm-caught or foreign one as they might be of inferior quality as being raised in secondary conditions. And there is nothing right or wrong to ask for such information.

Seasonal and local wild-caught seafood is the best choice when ordering your meal. Ps. Seafood such as lobster, crabs, scallops is preferred to be ordered when in season.

Anything foreign on the menu???

Though you are a regular seafood lover and you feel something on the menu seems unfamiliar or foreign, feel free to call any staff member for clarity. We at The Cray would be happy to quench your query.

Watch out for the cooking style of your dish.

The seafood itself is a tempting option when dining out and if it is heavily battered and fried – heaven – be cautious. This heaven comes at the cost of almost all the nutrients that you get from the seafood that’s crafted using other options. This asks for you to know about different cooking terms.

Recognize Diverse Cooking Terms:

As a well-read diner you should be knowing the terms you come across on the menu of a restaurant serving seafood. The difference between battered and buttered, deep-fried and shallow fried, stir-fried or poached? Such terms are sometimes confusing.

Acknowledge your allergies:

Loaded with nutrients, seafood sometimes may cause some kind of allergy to the diner. So avoid ordering fish that cause you health hazards. If you are ordering something for the first time, better to ask the server if the dish is safely cooked and impregnable to eat.
