Today we went to Die Strandloper with Mark's Cousin Lauren. It is a public holiday in South Africa today so it was quite busy there.
It is a little shack where you sit with your feet in the sand and eat as much seafood as you can possibly eat. There is no menu, you just get whatever they make. Today there was 7 courses + 1 desert and coffee course. Everything is cooked on a braai, including the bread.
Ladies cooking the mussels
First course: Garlic Mussels, and Mussels in wine
These were so delicious and when you get there you are quite hungry so you end up eating a lot. Mark went back for seconds which is a bad idea because you get very full and can't eat the later courses!
Mullet
Mark usually uses Mullet for live bait and not eating so he was surprised it actually tasted good!
Fish Curry
Snoek and Kumara (sweet potato)
Potjie pots
Lamb stew - the only non-seafood course. Note the mussel shell is the cutlery as they don't have knifes and forks!
Smoked Angelfish and Stumpnose
Save the best til last: Crayfish!
Desert: Koeksisters and coffee
