Frequently Asked Questions
Why are the portions smaller than a main course?
A platter mixes several types of seafood at once, so each item is sized as a shared, starter-scale portion, not a full main-course amount of any one item on its own.
Do I have to include lobster?
No, it's a real, common platter upgrade, not a fixed requirement, untick it and the list recalculates without it.
Can I adjust for a lighter or heavier appetite?
This tool uses an average appetite across the whole platter, for a finer, per-item appetite adjustment, the Seafood Portion Calculator lets you tune one item at a time.
