Being the bearer of good news is something really special – and fok guys, we have some cool entries from you.

The whole week we have been telling you about the most delicious specials available at Cape Town Fish Market, so yesterday we gave you the chance to flex your spending habits at one of their locations with a R1 000 CTFM voucher.

But the best thing is that CTFM’s menu has something for everyone – even if you’re not a fish person. They also have a sushi buffet on Thursdays and R40 burgers or hake and chips on Mondays – and get this, this weekend they’re giving customers a PJ Popsicle if they book a spot first. They even serve a flipping delicious steak.

Now, we got some lekker entries that make a good read, if I do say so myself. They were so good we decided we had to share some of them with you.

Unfortunately, not everyone can be winner, though. Sorry!

First up, we introduce Guy: 

Dear Henk,

Thank you for this opportunity. I was delighted to find that CTFM was not in fact an elusive christian radio station as originally thought. As far as I’m concerned thats already a marketing win for brand awareness.

As for the extensive menu, I’m not too sure what to say. If I’m honest, I browsed the prices. I think thats the appropriate thing to do if you’re living that high-roller life. Nonetheless, I’m in it for that Executive Platter (R740). I have no idea what a langoustine is, but I’ll take two of them.

In closing, I’d really appreciate being a big-baller-shot-caller, if only for one day.
I’ve realised I’d need to arrive in at least an Uber Black, but I’m willing chip in for that myself.

Kindest Regards,

Guy.

Then there’s the cray-fish girl:

Yoh but I’d smaak to put in my face in that Executive Platter. I mean, I ain’t no Executive. I don’t have a BMW. Unless I call an Uber Black which I wouldn’t because I’m on a strict junior-in-advertising salary budget but hey? Dream big.

Speaking of which, this platter would seriously make my dream of saying “WITH the crayfish, please kind sir/madam.” Because, like, the only time I ever say “crayfish” in a restaurant is when I’m talking to my friends: “No ways man, that’s so cray. You’re a crayfish.”

Everybody says that right? That’s a thing. Maybe not.

But this Executive Platter is most definitely a thing. A thang even. A thang I need in my life the same way I need oxygen, coffee and overpriced Woolies salami sticks.

So please man, help a crayfish girl out here.

Executive platters is quite popular hey? Not for this ex-bear:

In my past life I was bear (image 1) and now I am a human (image 2) and I still love salmon sashimi more than I love life. So yes, I should win the R1000 voucher so I can gorge on sashimi like the old days.

Then, shame, we have the dude who can’t eat his prawns in peace:

Hi Henk,

I would love to get my hands on that generous CTFM’s voucher that is up for grabs so let me plead my case quickly.

Let me start off by saying my wife is a fantastic lady, I am truly a very lucky man, but if she has one flaw it is the fact that she is allergic to shellfish, and I love prawns! Okay so not a deal breaker I will admit, I can still cook those little suckers at home if I am careful to not contaminate any of her food and everyone is happy and no one is in anaphylactic shock. However, things have been a wee bit different since my wife fell pregnant, she is currently just over halfway. A vital piece of information which was excluded, I am suspecting deliberately, from the ‘let’s have a baby’ negotiations was the fact that my wife would develop the sense of smell befitting only a veteran bloodhound. I have not been able to smuggle a prawn into our house yet alone cook one as apparently they ‘sick up the house for weeks’. And with a baby on the way, eating prawns out have become one of those luxury items I have sadly had to give up. Suffice to say it has been a long 24 weeks….

So the thought of that R1000 voucher gives me a little bit of hope! I would probably start off my dream meal with a Tempura Prawn starter and then move onto the delectable grilled Prawns mains with zesty lemon butter sauce and for dessert I would have some prawn and avocado Inside-out Rolls! And to be able to make this culinary feast happen I would have to bribe ‘prego’ (my wife) with her favorite meal, a lamb shank, and low and behold CTFM has that too, the stars are aligning! I would probably have to promise her that I will eat this prawn fest at another table but it will be worth it!

Thanks a million
Pierre

Man, this is so difficult, but reading them out loud in the office, the one that got the most laughs was definitely Beatrice – WINNER!

Well done, crayfish girl. Enjoy ordering like an executive. We’d love a tweeted picture of that crayfish.
