Approx 10 tonnes of Lobster, Moreton Bay Bugs, Crabs, Prawns, Fish, Oysters and Calamari are ready to be delivered to the hard working Chefs on Caxton Street - arguably the busiest people on the day.

Chocicious Chocolate Teddy Valentines Day Gift
What better way to win a heart on Valentines Day than with a gift of chocolate? It is said that the way to a mans heart is through his stomach, but I believe that is true of women too. Chocolates stimulating and aphrodisiac qualities have been legendary since the times of the Olmecs, Mayans and Aztecs.
Chocolate is derived from the seeds of the Cacao tree, (pronounced Ka-kow), native to Central and South America. The bitter tasting seeds are fermented, dried and roasted to produce cacao ‘nibs’. Cocoa (Ko-ko) powder is made by grinding, crushing and pressing the ‘nibs’ to remove the oil, or cocoa butter. Manufacturers add sugar, vanilla, milk and extra cocoa butter to make milk chocolate.
