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.

You should have posted a picture of it before you ate it

@GCAcademic

That’s a starter, not a main.

Agreed

What a rip-off!

Taking the piss.

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.

The state of the plate!

Looks lovely as a starter.

Starter.
100%.

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.

They seen you coming op

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

Did you say anything?

Ew, on a dirty plate

I hope you ordered a big dish of new potatoes and some veg or salad with that.

and a loaf of bread and butter

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!

Which restaurant is it?

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.

Can see your pic but where's the food?

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.
