By Sharing food with your friends can be frustrating when portions are small and there is an awkward stand off until someone plucks up the courage to take the last piece. Well luckily, Crawfish King restaurant in Seattle has solved our problems.
The seafood bar and restaurant has a ginormous dish on the menu named the ‘Royal Feast’ and it’s titled royal with good reason. Containing 15 different types of seafood, the array of sea life is served up in a wooden ship and weighs in at an incredible 32lbs.
The restaurant claims they want large groups of people too ‘relax, get their hands dirty and eat as much as they can so they leave happy’. That’s a mantra I can get on board with.
Seafood boil creates the hull of the ship whilst shellfish creates a deck. The full list of ingredients can be seen below:
