We were on the way back from The Hearing Clinic and it was
just after midday when the husband noted that we had not had a cup of coffee
that morning.
`It’s a bit late for coffee……’ But he brushed me aside and headed towards
the fortuitously vacant parking space directly outside SeaCow in Mission Bay.
Really? Coffee at
SeaCow? I followed him inside the café. He was already in earnest conversation with
the young woman behind the counter. She
was explaining that it was Ten Dollar Tuesday and we could choose Fish of the
Day battered, grilled or crumbed, or Mussels cooked the French way or even
squid or scallops if we preferred. All
would come with chips, salad, and a side sauce at ten dollars per person.
He ordered grilled Dory and a glass of white wine (a small
extra charge for this) – I said I would have the same.
We sat upstairs and had a view over the beach with Rangitoto
in the background. The sun was shining
and we both agreed this was surely the best value in the city.
The fish was absolutely splendid. It was very fresh and lightly cooked. The chips were crisp and crunchy. To my mind it was a tinsy bit early in the
day for wine but there you go; you can’t
have everything.
`I’m not cooking dinner tonight,’ I warned him between
mouthfuls. He didn’t hear me.
