On the way back down South we stopped for a sundown tour of The Pinnacles. They were spectacular, despite the fact that we could have had better weather - though we did get some good sunset photos in the end! I would put some in here but I don't think it is good to start digressing from the food or there would be blog after blog of whale sharks and sun sets all over the place! See, the digressing begins already!
So, following our sunset tour we decided we needed a substantial meal before the rest of the drive down to Perth, the Country Club won over a greasy roadhouse meal. They had a deal on for this seafood platter for 2 for $55 which I thought was pretty reasonable, especially because it contained a local crayfish (lobster) which we have been wanting to eat for a while now but always found them really pricey. We were sold.
The platter contained a crayfish (which we had hot with garlic butter instead of cold with dips), 2 pieces of snapper, some salt and pepper squid, chilli mussels and cold prawns. And chips, and access to the salad bar (that we weren't too enthralled with but were full enough anyway). We were so excited to try the crayfish and it was really good, maybe slightly overdone but good anyway, especially with lashings of garlic butter! I ended up dipping my prawns into some of the garlic butter that had oozed onto the platter rather than the weird dipping sauce they provided, which worked out well. We were also really happy to have snapper again so soon.
Don't be fooled into thinking that there is nothing in Cervantes! This platter for 2 was worth the delayed start to the end of our journey home and we drove along very happily full of yummy seafood. It was the end of about a week of eating nothing but seafood, luxury!
