Food Style? Seafood

Our time in Newfoundland is coming to a close. It’s pouring with rain and quite cold now, but we’ve been lucky with the weather so far. Our final meal is a local restaurant down the road with a very appetising name - the Daily Catch. I’m super down for some fresh seafood on our last night here.

Appetiser


Crab cakes: Atlantic snow crab blended with sauteed peppers, served with dill sauce
Not gonna lie, I think two is a bit of a small portion. They’re okay, soft but not a strong crab flavour. I kinda feel like they should be more crispy on the outside. It does make me a bit nervous about my mains though.

Mains


Halibut: Grilled with basil butter
The fish is so delicious and meaty, but perhaps a tad overcooked. It’s really good though, my fears over the size and quality have been dispelled. The rice is nice and flavourful, but the salad is pretty standard fare. It doesn’t particularly go with anything else but it’s fresh at least.

Dessert


Berry crumble with ice cream: made with local organic partridgeberry
Since I had bread pudding last night, I’m going for the berry crumble today. Partridgeberry is making another appearance, so I’m keen to have some before I never see it again (until I return to Newfoundland). It’s lovely and tart, the real berry taste coming through nicely. Actually I’m really impressed by the ice cream, it’s soft and creamy, and pairs well with the crumble. A delicious way to end our time here.
