We were invited out for lunch yesterday, with Jamie and Nera, and several of their Filipino friends and their kids.  We went to Pedro's Restaurant at Ulverstone where we took Brian and Margaret when thy visited from Canada.  The big attraction for the others was Pedro's famous seafood platter, but Marilyn and I no longer measure the attraction of food by the size of the serve.

Although, the platter was spectacular, and every morsel looked scrumptious.  The big attraction was the half crayfish, but there were oysters and mussels, various kinds of fish, huge prawns, smoked salmon, and so on.

My curried scallops looked insignificant in comparison, but there was too much food on the platter, even for Jamie and Nera, so we were invited to share.

At $135 a pop, they weren't cheap but they gave a lot of pleasure to a number of people.  Pedro must have been delighted to serve three of his signature dishes to the one table; probably went a long way to paying the kitchen-hand's wages for the day and, of course, he's not getting penalty rates anymore so that'll help pay the lease on the new BMW.
