Did I mention in this blog that I rarely eat fish at home? The reason is really very practical. The Dutchman does not eat fish and it would be a lot of work for me if I make two different types of dinner every evening. Secondly, fish smells when you cook it. I do have an exhaust in my kitchen but sometimes the smell can stay longer, and naturally, I don’t like a smelly house.
So that is why I prefer to order fish when I go out and eat at restaurants.
Last July, I booked a table at Lucius Fish Restaurant for Bru and moi. I read good reviews online about the restaurant so that was a good start I thought.
The restaurant is located near the Spui Square. When we arrived it just started to get busy. A few guests who came after us that didn’t have any reservation were turned away. When dining in Amsterdam, and especially if the restaurant has limited tables (20 and less), I always make a reservation. You can never take chances.
When our Plateau Fruits de Mer arrived we were impressed with the presentation. The plate looked so lovely and delicious. I could not wait to start picking the shellfish one by one. Unfortunately, some of the shellfishes were not really that super fresh. They were eatable but not that enjoyable. Sadly, not the standard I am used to.
Helaas, this plate of shellfish and crustacean treats was a 3.5 stars out of 5 in my book.
