HUGE Seafood Platter in Crete, Greek Islands!

You know it's a great

seafood

dish when there are several things staring at you, which is just a school of cooked, grilled and fried

seafood

on a plate. Hello everyone, its brand Wiens, we have just arrived in Hanyu in Crete and this is an amazing place. We just arrived, we landed a couple of hours ago, we checked into our place, we're going to walk around a bit and get lunch right now, this old town is absolutely amazing and it's right on the ocean, the harbor or the Venetian harbor. he's right there it's a really beautiful place he's wearing his sunglasses for the first time like you have to leave them on yeah we're just going to go down first to have a look at the sea and then I have a restaurant that I wrote we were going to go to to lunch and then it's so picturesque, it's so beautiful and actually the weather is quite nice, it's sunny, it's hot, but if you're in the shade or when it's breezy because of the sea breeze it's nice and cool or It has a perfect temperature, it is quite windy on the beach on the coast, but it is beautiful, you can see the coast and, when you go up, you can see the lighthouse up here, the Hanyu lighthouse, and we can see the port here too all this it's just that I still can't believe I'm in creeks right now this is a fantastic port in the Venetian part there and then inside the valley is the city Hanyu and then like you go up the hills and go, oh, there went the hat from Micah to the sea, unfortunately Micah just donated his hat to Crete and I don't think it's worth going down there, it's like trying to get it, it's quite hilly and rocky.

I'll get you another hat okay Micah okay man today there's actually a farmers market or a produce market that's right along the beach or the coast and I don't know what we'll find here but we're already seeing many. of fresh vegetables and fruits, all the products here are fantastic and there are a lot of them. I think a lot of people come here from their villages and come to sell at the market, which I guess this happens in the morning and we just bought some local bananas and some local reviews. Cretan bananas, as well as some local grapes, and there are other wonderful delicacies here.

I'm glad I arrived just before they closed. A little darling, you have time, darling, do you want to try? time bees eat time and then they make honey and it is supposed to be one of the best honeys. Wow, that's amazing. Oh, it's very sweet and very, very fragrant. We are buying some honey to give us a touch of luma in Thailand. Crete is famous. for honey and cheese and olive oil and olive oil too, but I was talking to the owner of the honey shop and she said that this market takes place here every Thursday, so coincidentally it was Thursday when we arrived while we are in I had to try one of these Cretan bananas before leaving the market, oh that's good, the texture is really soft and unique, and it's very sweet and mild in flavor mm-hmm, that's good, a Mediterranean banana, oh yeah .

It's almost like a floral flavor or it comes from the honey that was in my mouth right Azzam, right before I ate this banana. Fantastic banana. I love it and there are many souvenir shops, many small shops, restaurants and cafes. I think this is. True, this is the kind of place you could just walk around in circles, but I think this is down here, the restaurant I wrote down that I want to visit for lunch. We arrive at the restaurant. This is really a place. An amazing little place on a very narrow street, there is a table set up, it is very green there.

The pine trees go up the wall and the menu here is a mix of ten Greek dishes and cru, crispy local dishes, so on their menu they have a mixed meat plate for two. and also a mixed seafood

platter

for two my eyes immediately fell on the mixed seafood

platter

for two, but the really good thing is that the owner said that some people had already booked for the seafood platter, so she went to check if They had enough fish. For us, that means it's going to be very fresh, they only have a certain amount per day.

I'm glad I did it before the seafood platter arrived. We have a Cretan salad and this is a

huge

salad. There are cucumbers here. there's onions and tomatoes and olives and on top of that there's some kind of Cretan cheese that's just a giant mass in there and then there's a little bit, I think it's oregano, on top and then I think it's mostly olive oil. well, a nice chunk of that cheese for this bite, oh that's refreshing and that cheese is what I like about cheese, it's not, it's actually not too salty, that blob of cheese on top just provides the enough of that amazing flavor to flavor all those vegetables, though, I'll add a little pepper, okay, let's start with one of those pieces of crusty bread, oh, he stopped like it's some kind of tomato puree, yeah , it is completely crispy if I make it with bread. try that olive oil again and just a tomato puree a pure tomato puree.

I'm going to just have butter and cheese to get a real flavor, yes it's not really salty at all, it has a cream cheese flavor but it's more foamy with a slightly dense salad of whipped cream it was fantastic it's the perfect way to start the seasonal feast, it's amazing, thanks to me, one of the best things about the food culture and the food in Greece and the food and in Crete is the family aspect of eating, family is very important and so, everyone eats together as a family, they can order a

huge

feast and I love how they serve everything on a giant plate of food.

This is the seafood feast for two and it is simply an absolute beauty. We waited about 30 minutes for it to arrive, so everything is cooked fresh since these little shrimp are here next door. I'll go ahead and grab them all, they're complete you can see. they're completely crunchy and you can eat the whole shell and the head and the whole oh yeah you can and it's as crunchy as a cookie but inside the body you can you can you have a little bit of meat they're quite small. Those are like Oh, perfectly fried, they're crispy. I think when you eat, when you can eat the peel on the head, you can really taste the flavor of the shrimp, like a vibrant lemon, okay, this one, this guy here looks perfect.

For you I think it has a very light coating, maybe just dusted with flour before frying it well, you can eat the bones all the way through and it may have some eggs in it too because you can taste the richness and those little ones almost like a consistency of cheese, everything like that, that cheese was just eaten and again I search on Google, oh, okay, I just dropped a fork. I won't need cutlery for this meal, it's all hands on deck, that's really very. well, although they are very, very meaty and I'm not sure if you can if the bones are soft enough to eat in the sardine oh well, that is very well roasted, you can taste the smoky flavor and then contrast it with that wonderful freshness.

A squeeze of lemon, you may want to remove the center pit if it's a little tough, but this one seems fine to me. Oh, this is a happy plate for the biggest fish now and it's an absolute beauty, you can see it. how much meat is there, you can see those grill marks, it's perfectly grilled, I think I'll pick it up, oh, it just slides, it just comes off the center bone, oh, that's how you can tell it's perfectly cooked because the meat is Just then. just oh oh, look at that look, that juicy meat underneath, oh, that's a beautiful thing.

I think I'll let myself get that bone out. I think I'll stick with just a little bit of lemon just because lemon makes everything better. this seafood is so perfect, oh it's juicy, it's excellent, what catches my attention is that the fish itself is perfectly cooked, you can taste how fresh it is, it has very very little seasoning, if anything you can just try the grilled flavor. Don't know. I don't even know if they have salted it much, maybe there is a little salt and I think you can add your own salt, but it really focuses just on the freshness of the fish, some vegetables and some It looks like dill and maybe some could be juices fish that they have and fish oils that have seeped through all the vegetables and maybe a little olive oil.

Let me try this while it's on my spoon. I can really taste that dill, look what the fish is. it has a similar texture to mackerel, it's a very firm meat, very firm, fishy, ​​it has that dried tuna type of texture mm-hmm, you know, what I'm trying on that vegetable right now is the fresh rocket arugula , it has that wonderful flavor, almost like natural leaf pepper, when it's young and I decided to shovel it all into the seafood platter we've been sitting here, devouring it, here's our mound of bones and shells, but we can finally see. the base we're getting to the fries we have a restock of lemons and I'm our citrus guy we like to go overboard with the lemons and citrus these little fish are so crispy and they fry like that if you just close your eyes and grab something that maybe you don't know if you're eating chips or fish, okay let's try it, I think it's a chip, no, I'm just kidding, okay, but they have almost the same penis as Chris. only one lender remains and it needs to be dipped in lemon juice.

OK, perfect. My final. My last bite of fish. I feel very good. Thank you. I'll try. Okay, rocky. Another thing you'll love about eating in Greece is that often. we give you just a simple dessert of fruit, whatever is in season, we have a plate, they gave us a plate of watermelon and then also a complimentary iraqi, which is a I think it's a kind of spirit, let's try a little of this, oh, it's a I think it's like a liqueur, it's a little sweet, it's a little, it goes up your nose a little, it's a taste to finish the meal and just wipe your mouth, it's like it's almost like it's almost . like a mouthwash that washes your mouth amazing watermelon and cream hmm mr. pumpkins with juice, if you are not careful it will also slide off the fork, it's okay, I am completely satisfied, our total bill came to 37 90 euros for me and me, the giant seafood platter cost 30 and then we also had the salad. and then the young man had a drink and then I just drank a jug of water, the food was delicious and the atmosphere in the narrow alley some of the alleys are really very busy and always busy and noisy, this alley is really really nice, quiet and peaceful, it is a great atmosphere for dining.

I loved that we had just left the narrow streets of the old town and were now walking along the main promenade and it is just beautiful, the water inside this port here is very calm because outside there is the lighthouse and there is also a whole barricade and a dam It's all built to block the waves, but it's relaxing, it's very picturesque and it's really a lovely town. We had a little break at the apartment and now we are walking. outside let's try I think there's a beach a little after the market that we were literally wandering around in the afternoon let's try to have a look at the beach maybe swim if it looks good we just finished taking a little swim, the water is actually quite cool and very refreshing and the water is very salty and extra salty and the sand is very, very fine and mica took his first little swim in the Mediterranean in Crete.

I stayed for a while to watch the The sunset was absolutely spectacular and see the lighthouse and then the waves and the water crashing in a really beautiful place. It has been a fantastic first half day in Chania in Crete. I'm going to end it right here and end the video, so thank you. Thank you very much for watching today's video.
