Nudie Calendar Boys & Girls

So it’s been a fairly eventful last few weeks at Yellowfin Seafood Restaurant here in Broadbeach QLD! Last week we hosted the  Gold Coast Managers & Concierges dinner on Monday & Wednesday of last week. Just wanted to say a special thanks to everyone who came out, and it was lovely to see your faces [...]

Gold Coast Concierges Night

So it’s now Friday and we’re gearing up for the weekend, Monday and Wednesday we hosted a Managers dinner and a Gold Coast Concierges night for almost nearly 200 guests collaboratively. It was a few big days for our quaint restaurant, but we (hope) everyone had a fabulous time!
The restaurant was definitely packed on Wednesday [...]

Update from Jon

After a few weeks laid up with a mystery illness I am back in full form and knocking through the renovations.

Our wonderful fish tank is now complete and it really does look good. A massive thank you to Nick at Art of Aquaria who set it up for us – it was a huge job [...]

Does a Lobster Really Scream?

So ya wanna know how to cook lobster mate? Cos many a chef has pondered what the most humane manner would be, because its a tale told that lobsters scream bloody murder when their about to meet their maker in the boiler! Its true it is one of the most hair raising experiences the first [...]

Broadbeach Tourism

So just made it past the Blues on Broadbeach festival and now I’m sick as!
We had an excellent turn out here at Yellowfin for the weekend, and the weather somewhat reluctantly held out, but overall the weekend definitely increased Broadbeach tourism heaps!

The guest from “Canadia” said he wasn’t into “farmed fish” and wanted to be absolutely [...]

Surf Parade Broadbeach

Having spent most of last week propping up the bar at 1two3 (on Surf Parada Broadbeach) most of the goings on in Yellowfin are a bit of a hazy blur, but I will do my best to recollect…thank god we have waves again and my life can go back to normal.
In the restaurant we prepare [...]

Big Shucker here folks!

Ever shucked an oyster yourself?
Not the easiest task on the planet to undertake, trust us!
I personally was afraid to try shucking after a snorkel incident that left me scraped up like I got into a fight with a bunch of papers. (Oyster cuts hurt worse then paper cuts though, just for the record).
Here at Yellowfin [...]

A Little Restaurant Renovation

Aquariums may look good but they are a pain in the ass to organise. My week has been spent working on renovation projects in the restaurant and when we are finished in a couple of months time the place should be looking really good.
We started this process around six months ago now and really thought [...]
