I ate seafood and I had a few thoughts

So, this weekend I visited Ocean basket at Lekki, Lagos and ate seafood for the first time.

I tried seafood for the first time and I had some thoughts

On Twitter, some people said that spending N20,000 on a date is exorbitant. I am not sure how I felt about that topic because that was how much I spent on that date and that is how much you should budget if you want to go there.

Here was my thought process, "Buy the bigger looking platter." I saw a Arab family in the restaurant and that was what they had in front of them. Somehow, I thought I was getting chicken wings too. Chicken wings? Why did I think I would get that? The name of the place is ocean basket!

When the waiter asked for what I wanted I said I wanted the platter for two.

Anyways, the waiter was super nice and helpful. He instantly felt like a friend and that made me relaxed. The ambience was great too.

Seeing how expensive seafood I was, I changed my mind about getting appetizers but I was given complimentary bread.

We ordered some cocktails too. They were fantastic.

The platter looked good. It had rice and chips. The rice and chips were delicious but other things on the platter were strange to my African taste especially the strong garlic sauce in the mussels.

I decided to ask someone else who went there what they felt about the food, Tobi said "Appetizer was okay. Pretty small. The main meal was filling. Rice and chips with a big piece of fish. Waiters were available to answers questions. Food was affordable."

Abraham had the seafood platter and he enjoyed it. "I never try anything in a shell." That is the mussels.

If you are feeling adventurous and you want to delve into foreign food, or your taste buds have been seasoned to foreign delicacies you can try it. If not just stick to rice and fish, salads, soups and so on.
