"The prawn cocktail, something that might be relegated to retro quirky, is a standout. Succulent local prawns, with their winter layer of fat are served with chiffonaded lettuce, the thinnest brik pastry and a pitch perfect cocktail sauce."

"The food is lovingly cooked with local produce – try the Boathouse Prawn Cocktail."

Jackie McMillan

"The Boathouse Prawn Cocktail lightly renovates the Australian classic with four plump whole local prawns. There’s the expected iceberg lettuce, judiciously applied Boathouse cocktail sauce, some smashed avocado and more sumac-sprinkled brik pastry. I like that this version doesn’t stray too far from the Aussie classic, merely corrects the over-zealous saucing and avoids brutalisation of quality prawns."
