Do you think seafood can be expensive?

Ready, steady, plate-up!


Surely everyone agrees that food tastes better when it's nicely presented. You know where to go when fresh seafood is the go, so let's talk about food presentation and 'plating up'. Here are some basic rules:

Set the table properly

It’s not only a question of what is on your plate, don’t forget to consider nice placemats, matching accessories and cutlery in right order.

Choose the right size of your plates

Are your serving plates big enough? Let each food item stand out. Avoid oversized plates as they make food look tiny.

Odd is interesting

Believe or not, food items look generally more interesting on your plate when they’re in sets of odd numbers.

Balance your components

Don’t get carried away. Remember the three core components of your dish: the starch, protein and sauce. Add some veggies if you can as well as garnish, but don’t overdo it. Make sure you have a combination of colour and texture.

Realize how your food items relate

Grilled salmon and a lemon wedge… if you know what we mean.

Do not pile up

The new trend is about deconstructing so you can easier see the key ingredients. No shovel or digger required.

Enjoy it

It’s so true that we eat first with our eyes. Slow down and don’t eat with your keyboard instead of a placemat.
