Seafood Platter with Chopped Papaya, Citrus and Pineapple Salad
Everything about this seafood platter recipe smacks of summer and is a go-to when entertaining large groups of people.
You can extend the range of seafood according to your budget. A clever use of fresh whole fish and sides of seafood makes this dish really interesting. Remember, it can be prepared at home, or next to the sea, and is perfect for the braai.
The two key parts of this dish that make it a winner are the seafood basting sauce and the chopped salsa salad. Wherever possible, use the freshest ingredients for both.
