Claypots Seafood & Wine
Editorial
This restaurant is great value for lovers of seafood. The claypots are a regular feature, but the starring role goes to the revolving array of fresh seafood platters which are chalked up each day. No bookings are taken, so it's best to get in early rather than see your heart's desire get rubbed off the blackboard. Eye off the catch of the day set upon ice in the glass cabinet, and choose from chilli crabs, shellfish stir-fry or trevally with cous cous and thyme.
These platters are ideal to share - grappling with crab claws is best done in familiar company - and the claypots are filling and tasty too, stacked with fish and shellfish and influenced by Malay, Indian and Moroccan flavours. While you wait, staff will come to your table and proffer a huge selection of mezzes to tide you over - single, perfectly grilled field mushrooms, carrot salad, prawns, marinated olives or pan-fried fish. The only danger is to over-indulge on the little plates on offer, only to face your claypot with a full stomach. Claypots welcomes BYO and there is no corkage which is a super good bonus. The wines on offer are also reasonable, as is the Turkish beer.

Had a great mid week girls catch up dinner one night. A few glasses of Sav Blanc (at $5 a glass!), a seafood platter and a couple of claypots for $40 a head. Yummy food, relaxed environment. At first is seems odd that they don't do dessert of coffee, but then they do what do so well it makes sense.
