Indulge in a stunning cold seafood platter, perfect with Houghton White Classic wine from taste.com.au.
Ingredients:
  • 1 cooked lobster
  • 2 cooked blue swimmer crabs
  • 4 cooked Moreton bay bugs, halved and cleaned
  • 1kg cooked medium king prawns
  • 24 Sydney rock oysters
  • 200g smoked salmon slices
  • 400g cooked pickled or marinated octopus
  • 2 long green chillies, coarsely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
  • 2 green onions, coarsely chopped
  • 48.80 gm fish sauce
  • 40.00 ml finely grated palm sugar
  • 82.50 ml fresh coriander leaves
  • 86.63 gm lime juice
  • 163.35 gm whole-egg mayonnaise or plain Greek-style yoghurt
  • 30.00 ml finely chopped fresh dill
  • 2 tsp finely grated lime rind
Instructions:
  • Position the lobster with the underside facing up on a board. Using kitchen scissors or a sharp knife, cut lengthwise along the underside of the tail. Clean the lobster halves and give them a light rinse. Extract the meat and chop it into bite-size pieces.
  • Gently lift the tail flap of each crab and remove the back shells. Clean the crabs by discarding the gills and liver, then lightly rinse them. Cut the crabs into portions and provide guests with crab crackers for cracking claws.
  • Place a bed of ice on a large platter. Arrange lobster, crab, shrimp, oysters, and salmon on the ice. Place octopus in a small bowl and add it to the platter.
  • Combine chilli, garlic, onion, fish sauce, sugar, coriander, and half of the juice in a food processor. Pulse until nearly smooth. Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl.
  • In a serving bowl, combine mayonnaise, dill, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix well and serve with seafood.
  • Serve this dish with a glass of Houghton White Classic.
