Port Lincoln S.A. Beautiful sunsets, delicious seafood, great coastline walks.

It's hard not to like Port Lincoln in South Australia. After all it's said to be the seafood capital of Australia, so if like us you like a bit of fresh fish, prawns, scallops, oysters or crayfish, you can find plenty of it here and more. Every cafe, restaurant, or pub you go into for a meal is guaranteed to have some seafood on the menu. Delicious! So far we have enjoyed a variety of fish cooked a variety of ways as well as prawns, calamari and scallops & oysters kilpatrick.  We were keen to try the crayfish also, but when we saw the price (AUS$150/kg) we decided we would stick to prawns!!! Crayfish are very popular and expensive I suppose because 95% of crays are exported to Asia!!! Anyway as we had crayfish for Christmas at our nephews (he shouted) we decided that would do us!

Great Places To Visit - Esca Grill, 650 Mt Alexander Rd, Moonee Ponds, Victoria.

Went back to our all time favorite restaurant in Melbourne. Yep, still the best!  EVER!  AMAZING seafood, steaks, and great service.  Delicious, delicious, delicious. Can't find words.....it's that good.  I started with the mixed entree:  Prawn stuffed baby squid, chili bar-b-q prawn, and pan seared scallop.  DIVINE!!!! For mains I opted for a 250g Eye Fillet Medium.  Comes on a potato rosti.  I ordered table sides of mashed potato, broccolini, and pear, parmesan and rocket salad.  Others ordered the slow cooked lamb shoulder with roast pumpkin (for 2) Yummy, yummy, yummy.  We all shared a mixture of desserts, chocolate platter (so delish), lemon delicious pudding, a cheesecake thingy, don't know what it was but it looked great. There were 4 of us.  We ate 3 courses! Stuffed to the eyebrows with wonderful, fresh, exquisitely prepared tummy filling deliciousness.  What more can I say?  You MUST try it sometime.  ...
