Omeros Bros Seafood Restaurant, Gold Coast

Hello Fellow Nom Seekers!

Omeros Bros Seafood is touted as one of the upmarket restaurants at the Marina Resort.  I found it reasonably priced with pleasant ambience and friendly service.  For a seafood restaurant, it served one of the best steaks I have ever sunk my jaws on - juicy and charred well.  The said steak was part of the Surf and Turf ($44.90) which consisted of an eye fillet with Moreton bay bug tail, king prawns in a light mustard sauce.  Continue reading...

Fisherman's Wharf Tavern - Gold Coast


Hello Fellow Nom Seekers!  

Every so often, the caveman in me craves a nice juicy steak.  As the State of Origin was also on that day, Fisherman's Wharf was a-buzzing and it was the ideal ambience for a chow down pub meal.  

The 400g Scotch Fillet was calling my name.  It was $28.90 and the extra mushroom sauce was a rather exorbitant $2.90 extra.  I'm not sure why some establishments don't just charge a flat $31 for the steak inclusive of sauce.  I would have happily paid that.  Separating it out like that was a bit irksome.  Aside from the that, the fillet was wonderfully executed - it was an above average steak...juicy and tender.

Other friends ordered the New York pork ribs, seafood basket, lemon pepper calamari and the eye fillet mignon. Everybody was satisfy with their choices which is always a good sign. All mains we had were between $18 and $29.

For dessert, the choices were not as extensive as the mains.  We all had either the sticky date pudding or the chocolate mud cake. Both were served with ice cream. They were both $8.50 with and extra $1 for coffee. Both dessert were on the very sweet of sweet.  Perfect for sweet tooths but not so good for the health conscious. 
  



Great night and great food. Unfortunately the Maroons lost by four points and there were some very disappointed Queenslanders around.

Peter's Fish Market, Gold Coast


Hello Fellow Nom Seekers!

A trip to the Gold Coast landed me in one of my favourite eating joints for lunch - Peter’s Fish Market where you can either order cooked seafood or simply buy fresh seafood. It is also a great spot to have a quick and cheap meal by the water after a jaunt to Seaworld.  




On this occasion, I did a variation on the fish and chips theme. I ordered half a serve of chips (how very restrained of me) for $3 with calamari, prawn cutlets and scallops.  All this totaled $13 plus $2 extra for the tartare sauce which I thought was a very reasonable price given we are in a touristy hot spot.  The prawn cutlets got a double thumbs up.  


Tucking into good seafood waterside, basking in the warm sunshine with squawking seagulls overhead is an epitome of the good life in Queensland.  *sigh*  That is my 'happy place' which I conjure up when faced with dreary Melbourne winter ahead.
