Manly Grill
Shop 1 30-31 South Steyne, Manly
We finally caught a day of sun. Our first beach day
was upon us, so we hauled it to Manly Beach. A 20-minute express ferry
ride away was this popular beach town. The streets were filled with surf
shops, cafes, and bars. Surfers and sunbathers brought this town to
life and it inspired us to sit on the patio of the Manly Grill for some
lunch, cocktails, and people-watching.
We
copied the table next to us and started with a bucket of prawns. Being
at the beach means day drinking to me (what, not to you?), so we had to get a round of
passion fruit caprioskas. When the prawns arrived, we realized they are
indeed fully intact, and we would need to cut the head and tail off
ourselves. I can’t believe I’ve never done that before! I picked off
each shell using my thumbnail like a complete amateur. But eventually I
got the hang of it like a pro. I even ripped the poop vein out in one
shot (too much?).
For our main course, we tried the crab cakes and the soft shell crab. This was the best soft
shell crab I’ve ever had in my life! It wasn’t too greasy, and it was
brushed with spices. The meat inside was super moist and there was a
crisp cold noodle salad underneath. The crab cakes – also phenomenal!
