Remember My Marcelino’s visit? Just as I left their premises that day, I saw this sign….
“The Lagoon” is a compound that houses Marcelino’s (Pastry shop), Lagoon Seaside Terrace (Restaurant & Bar), Churasco (Brazilian Restaurant), Fusion (Restaurant, under renovation) and a banquet hall for events but I digress.
After seeing the sign, I came back the next Thursday to participate in this seafood feast. Just as my dining partners and I settled down on our seats at about 5p.m., we watched a boat arrive and beautiful seafood creatures were offloaded right infront of us. It was a sight to remember so of course we pulled out our cameras.
The day’s catch was then displayed on a tabletop refrigerator…..
A host had us point out what caught our fancy and then we were asked exactly how we wanted them prepared.
First, was this beautifully grilled fish encrusted with herbs and delicious spices. 
Then this very interesting plate of fried mackerel fish which was accompanied with those brown beauties that we first thought were plantains but eventually found out were deep fried shawarma bread pieces.
Fried crayfish (Indian style) never looked and tasted so good! The sauce beside it was so incredibly creamy and tasty, I ended up using it as a dipping sauce for almost every other thing on the table.
Next up, was this very juicy crab in Asian spiced sauce. The aroma alone had me begging for more.
Then last, my favorite! Lobsters steamed to perfection. The amount of lobster meat in these babies had me speechless, I do not know how I forgot to take a proper picture. 
I thoroughly enjoyed this seafood night which happens every Thursday, yes they go fishing every Thursday so always expect freshness. The crown of the experience is the fact that you technically do not pay for the food preparation. They only bill you per kilogram of your selected fresh seafood item. The cooking process takes a bit of time as expected and thankfully the bar, music and sea view helps to ease the wait.
I had the bartender mix up this really colorful cocktail for me and I loved every sip!
