Beach food

After a night out boozing and dancing to Quantic at The Step Inn and getting home at 3am, there are not many things that will get you out of bed at 6am. Double Island Point is one of them.

Catching a fresh feed (including a baby stingray which was the cutest thing ever and we naturally returned immediately to it’s big watery home)

Home at the end of the day to for a big feed of pizzas…

The menu

Caramelising onions

Roast pumpkin, feta & pine nut pizza

Caramelised onion, goats cheese & rocket pizza

And for lunch the next day, the fresh catch!

Whiting – patted dry, dusted in flour and shallow fried

Finger limes from the garden

Oven-baked chips, salt & pepper calamari with finger limes, Greek salad, freshly caught fishes and a tartar-ish sauce (Mayonnaise, olive oil, lemon, salt and pepper).
