Live Fish, Wynyard Quarter



So a friend and I tried another one of the restaurants down on the North Wharf in the Wynyard Quarter.  Live Fish this time.  

It is billed as Hong Kong style alfresco dining.  But to be honest it didn’t feel particularly Chinese in layout.  But the food was authentic in taste.  There was also a large tank containing live crayfish and abalone which you could select.  I didn’t choose either of those ($45 for the half crayfish or $68 for one abalone just seemed a mite extravagant for a casual lunch!). 

I had prawns in hoisin sauce.  They were simply delicious but there were only about 6 small prawns with a pile of green salad in the middle and no rice.  It just wasn’t filling enough for lunch.  And at $19 not that great in value.  The salad was supposed to have a sweet chilli lime dressing but  I couldn’t really taste it.

My friend had pan fried salmon with rice.  The sauce was a Cajun mayo (which doesn’t sound particularly Hong Kong, does it?) – this was delicious.

The service was a bit slow but we weren’t in any hurry.
