Howth is one of the best tourist destinations in Dublin. It is surrounded with seafood restaurants that you really don't want to miss. Every year, they are organizing a Dublin Bay Prawn Festival.
There are plenty of food stalls and fun activities. But before you get the chance to buy something to eat you need to exchange your euros to a money voucher. It is called Prawn Punts which is equivalent to 5 euros. A food of your choice is 5 Prawn Punts per order.
Prawn curry, calamari and seafood pastry were very good. There were long ques on food stalls but that never stopped us to want those foods.

After filling up our tummies with delicious food, we watched the cookery demonstration of Chef Hazel of The Kitchen in the Castle Cookery School. She taught her audiences how to properly devein a prawn. Tricky but I got it. She said the technique is necessary to bring out the real taste of prawn and bitter after taste will be avoided.

ReplyDeletewow look so yummy! its been awhile since i had a good seafoods. hubby loves to tease me when i eat shrimps. he would say that i am eating tentacle monsters, or sea insects. lol
ReplyDeleteoh my! i can only drool and stare at these yummy foods! my hubby and i don't have seafood in our menu because he's allergic to seafood :( but i'm not, and because he can't eat, i don't buy and cook. it would be so selfish of me to be eating and devouring seafood while he just looks at me! hehehe... thanks for the visit and comment by the way!

ReplyDeleteWow, those are big and yummy looking prawns! I love prawns and I find them very tasty. I wish I can take part in food events such as that in your area sis. I don't like cooking but I enjoy watching people cook. I learn a lot but I still don't have the passion to put those info into good cooking-use. hahaha
