From king prawns on ice to whole mud crab — here are the Gold Coast's most popular Mother's Day seafood choices.
Cooked King Prawns
1–1.5 kg served on ice with aioli and lemon — the Gold Coast favourite. Easy to prepare, always impressive.

Whole Cooked Mud Crab
Rich, sweet, and celebration-grade. Crack open at the table — it becomes the centrepiece of the meal.
