Jordan's, formerly of Darling Harbour, Sydney, Australia

While we were in Australia earlier this year, The Man took me to Jordan's in Darling Harbour, which I learned a short while after our holiday has sadly closed its doors on that location, but promises to re-open somewhere new, soon. We had the hot seafood "platter" which was really two tiers jam-packed full of everything wonderful from the sea, as well as various side dishes. Once Jordan's opens again, we will be sure to make a return visit, this was one of the best seafood platters I have had.
On top there was a pot of steamed mussels, whole prawns on skewers, peeled prawn skewers, half a grilled crayfish, grilled Moreton Bay Bugs, a basket of battered fish and chips, oysters Kilpatrick and au natural.
On the bottom tier there were two sweet, juicy crabs, more whole prawns, a mixed seafood salad, and delicious curried crab, along with some dipping sauces, lemon quarters and cut fresh fruit. Eaten at leisure with a nice bottle of Sauvignon Blanc (from New Zealand, of course!), we enjoyed the beautiful view across the harbour and even managed to fit in a chocolate dessert platter afterwards! Such a shame that they no longer have that prime spot, and I hope the new location is as good, or better!
