Richmond Seafood Tavern - the enigma that it is and the fact it's not in Richmond but Fitzroy! Confusing. And the fact it looks like a local's pub and it is that but more. Also confusing.
But what is less confusing is that Steve and I had a wonderful seafood feast here as we celebrated his work promotion.
There's lots of choice at the Seafood Tavern and the little plates are all put together to form yummy platters of food to feast on. We started off with Bollinger (it's a celebrationm) and enjoyed that with some cold dishes. Delicious oysters, crab and avocado bruschetta and seared tuna with white anchovy fillet. All spankingly fresh and delicious.
We carried on with the small dishes with some delicious crumbed scallops,steamed scallops, smoked salmon roll, whitebait fritter and chilli prawns. The chilli prawns, battered and beatifully cooked were so good we ordered another serve!
Then we shared a whole flounder pan fried simply with lemon but the delicate flavour meant it didn't need anything else.
Groaning tummies meant no room for dessert and the 15 minute walk home was exactly what was needed.
We were well looked after, enjoyed some great food and had an truly enjoyable evening that was all about the food. It's not the flashiest of restaurants but who needs flashy when there's fresh seafood?
