Bob here to share with you our visit to The Surly Mermaid in beautiful Sydney, BC!
Nestled along the stunning waterfront, The Surly Mermaid is a hidden gem just waiting to be discovered.
With its picturesque ocean views and charming nautical decor, The Surly Mermaid offers a unique vibe that made this little duck feel incredibly welcome.
From the moment I floated through the door, the warm atmosphere embraced me like a cozy tide pool.
The friendly staff, wearing bright smiles and eager to help, made me feel like a cherished guest. They were happy to share recommendations and even a few fishy puns, which tickled my rubber feathers!
Now, let’s dive into the deliciousness that awaited us on the menu!
One of my humans chose the classic Fish and Chips, oh, what a taste adventure! Perfectly battered haddock fried until golden, adding a delightful crunch with each bite. Served with crispy fries that were just divine! The hint of lemon and tartar sauce made for a perfectly refreshing dip. I could almost hear the ocean calling with every nibble!
Next up, the sockeye salmon burger! The juicy, perfectly grilled salmon nestled between a toasted bun, topped with pickled red onions, pea shoots and a dollop of tangy tartar sauce. The flavours were bold and savoury, and I couldn’t help but imagine the satisfying bite as the rich salmon melted in your mouth.
Yet another of my humans selected one of the favourites – the poke nachos, a creative twist that caught my eye. Crisp wonton chips generously piled high with fresh ahi tuna and vibrant toppings. The contrast of textures, with the delicious soy and wasabi drizzle, made each bite an explosion of flavour. Even a rubber duck like me could feel the excitement of enjoying such a fun take on classic nachos!
Finally, my last human dove into the vegan tofu tacos. The tacos are packed with seasoned tofu, colourful slaw, and a drizzle of black bean garlic and Mexican chilli aoli sauce. The combination of freshness and bold spices was absolutely delightful. As a rubber duck, I may not eat, but I could certainly appreciate the vibrant colours and enticing aromas wafting from these dishes!
The Surly Mermaid is a gathering place for friends and families, a spot to share stories and create memories over flavorful dishes.
