Belmont seafood restaurant’s western rock lobster dishes win over readers

THE WA restaurants serving our favourite western rock lobster dishes have been revealed, with the narrowest of margins separating the venues we’re most cray-cray about.

The Cray Seafood & Grill Restaurant in Belmont took out top spot, securing 140 out of 970 votes by readers.

It pipped The Lobster Pier in the Perth CBD by just one vote.

In all, 110 eateries were nominated, highlighting the tasty crustacean’s popularity.

When it came to best-loved dishes, most punters wanted to sink their claws into the lobster mornay at The Cray, which owners Tejas and Mayur Patel opened in 2003.

Tejas said they entered the hospitality industry after coming across many exclusive seafood restaurants that only offered good produce or provided good customer service but were extremely expensive.

“Serving seafood is a delicate process that requires passion and skill,” he said.

“We wanted to take pride in serving the finest local seafood coupled with a memorable dining experience which provides value for money.

“The restaurant has been very popular since it opened and this is due to our staff and loyal customers who keep coming back from as far as Yanchep to Collie.”

Tejas attributed the lobster mornay’s popularity to a secret sauce made fresh in house each day.

North-siders will be happy to hear the Patels are launching a second restaurant, due to open in Innaloo at the end of July.

Community News’ ‘Make WA Day Cray Day’ competition winner is Michael Giles-Duffy, of Halls Head, who receives two tickets to the Abrolhos Long Table Lunch at the Shore Leave festival in Geraldton, including boat transfers and two nights’ accommodation, along with 10 live lobsters to feast on courtesy of the Western Rock Lobster Council.

The not-so-obvious benefits of choosing seafood at a restaurant

Hello, seafoodies!!!!

Thinking about food and the first thing that comes to mind is the taste but also equally important – its impact on your body. Will you gain weight because of it? Will it affect your skin? Will this add to your cholesterol? At The Cray, this becomes our top preeminence by serving freshest seafood on your table. Considering the universal fact that adding fish to your meals Twice a week revamps our heart. For a stabilized heart rhythm, blood pressure and reduced clotting of blood omega-3 present in the fish works magic.

For a regular supply of Omega-3, many take a resort to supplements that come along with various side effects. While at The Cray we feel that relishing a fish is much better than swallowing medicines. Seafood is low in calories and unsaturated fats, which makes it the choice for the top 10 healthiest nations in the world. It is an important part of the diet and culture of many countries with high life spans.

When you eat seafood instead of taking fish oil supplements you also get an entire orchestra of various supporting health boosters. Taking a handful of supplements cannot match the nutrients supplied by a variety of seafood. We can say that treating your eyes, nose, and taste buds with seafood, of course, served by The Cray is a much better strategy.

Gift of the ocean:

Iron, lean proteins, selenium, licking and vitamin D. We don’t get them directly from the ocean, they come to us stuffed in the seafood we eat.

Some exciting perks:

Consume seafood twice a week and have –

A healthy heart with lower blood pressure, heart singing in a perfect rhythm, and away from a surprise heart attack.
A perfect healthy heart may calm mental health and depression.
Arthritis, diabetes, and inflammation would think twice before approaching a healthy heart and body.
Benefits for children and infants in terms of a healthy brain, nerve, and vision development.

All the needs of high-quality minerals including protein, calcium, iron, potassium, phosphorus, zinc, and riboflavin (vitamin B 2) reach your plates on the table at The Cray through fishnets and fishing rods.

The Cray, along with making your taste buds dance makes sure of reducing the risk of decline of mental health as you age. Instead of taking fish oil supplements, eating fatty fish rich in Omega 3 fatty acids regularly is a better option. The need and search for vitamin D, magnesium, iodine, and vitamin B12 leads to seafood and shellfish.

A healthy body needs regulated energy, metabolism, hormones, and more. Vitamin D supports the immune system, strengthens the bones, and produces energy to keep you powered throughout the day.

Magnesium from the fish performs around 300 functions including balancing metabolism and stabilizing your blood sugar.

A thyroid that controls and regulates your hormones needs iodine to operate. You need various vitamins to have healthy blood cells and no.

The Cray understands saying it without sugar-coating, 40 maybe new 30 but aging happens. To be always young at heart and body it is advisable to go for seafood at least once preferably twice a week.

The stress of the pandemic year 2 and brain fogging happening with age ask for a healthful diet with healthy fat and lean proteins, such as seafood and poultry along with whole grain and not to miss a rainbow of fresh fruits.

A Balanced diet or meals bring in a perfect energetic body and healthy mind, but in the kitchen at The Cray, the smiling chef uses the best part of his heart while preparing a dish for you just to make the food soulful. At the end of the journey to The Cray you and your loved ones leave with a strong body, healthy heart, and happy soul. See you soon at The Cray with your lovely ones☺
