Today's post is food related again. Since it it season for shellfish and other goods from the sea, I decided to post an nice looking shellfishboard for 6 people! Hope you enjoy!
Shellfish like lobster, king crab, mussels and scallops are perfect when you want to invite good friends to a great party meal from the sea. If you want to some more on the dish, crabs, shrimps and crayfish are just as self-contained ingredients! Not just an amazing dining experience, also real pleasing to the eye!
If you think the board is to flat you can add more mussels and shrimps to get the hight.
