The See-Food Diet

We went to the Auckland Seafood Festival.  What a fun day.  It was hot and busy, but every step smelled delicious.  We had so much good stuff.

This is a black paua patty on buttered bread, and wood-grilled scampi (looks like shrimp but is a completely different, spinier kind of animal).  I like how Arram is all, 'oooOOOOoooo!'


This is broiled scallops on crostini.


And here's some grilled scallops with mango salsa.


The boys basically ate their body weights in deep-fried squid rings.  And although there were live bands, competitions, and all manner of interesting things to watch, they were only really interested in the 'Little Skipper' zone.

Because there was a fishing game.




And face painting.


And a guy who made balloon animals.  Or even better as far as the boys were concerned:  balloon swords.


Look, Arram went surfing!


And Amiri went diving Under The Sea!
