AIBU?

Would you pay £18 for this as a main in a posh restaurant?

Ordered what I thought was a salmon fillet from the mains, this is what arrived…it was £18. I’m gutted.

That’s a starter, not a main.

Did you laugh and ask where the rest of it was?

They've got their wankiness to defend, op. If you get more than 3 bites out of your meal that means the restaurant is not posh enough.

To be fair there is quite a lot of salmon.

That looks delicious but it is not a main. It is a starter. I'd be very hungry with that for a main.

How was it described on the menu? Carpaccio of salmon? Because that actually is a starter.

Did you say anything?

What's with the salmon, some dried seaweed, some basil oil and some pea shoots?

That is a starter.

I'd be peeved!

The posher the restaurant, the smaller the meal. You’ll have to go to the chippy on your way home to fill up! Shock

The plate looks huge! Did you eat it all?

The pusher the restaurant, the more shocking the price-to-mouthfuls ratio is. If you aren't paying £35 for 3 mouthfuls then it's only medium-posh not proper-posh.

There are just six, SIX bite size pieces of salmon.
Total rip off.
If i cook a 120 gram salmon fillet I get more than six bites from it.
