Friday Seafood Nights at Medley Restaurant in Pullman Dubai Creek City Centre hits the spot when you want to cap a long work week with the bounties of the sea.

Doors open at 7pm and I swear I was there minutes before it does.

Didn’t want to be late at the fresh catch section where you have everything on the spread – from tuna to snappers, sea bream, crabs, shrimps and lobsters.

You pick your choices, they grill them for you and bring them to your table.

A few steps nearby is another spread – rows and rows of sushi, mussels, clams and more shrimps.

Indeed, it’s seafood galore! Seafood wonderland, if you will!

On the trays were such dishes like Devilled Calamari (catchy name, huh?), Fish Amritsari, Fish Makhani, Penne Seafood Marinara, Fish Tagine, Seafood Thermidor… it goes on!

In one favourite spot is the queen of them all – the Seafood Paella!

There is also a wide selection of sweets for dessert.

The theme night closes at around 11pm, I think.

In all, it was a good four hours of indulging in a medley of bounties from the sea.
