WOOING GOURMETS: A steward dressed in Goan Konkani style is ready to serve at the `Seafood festival' currently on at Hotel Fortune Kences in Tirupati on Saturday.

TIRUPATI: The denizens of Tirupati now have a rare opportunity to taste a variety of delicacies from the sea.

Hotel Fortune Kences is holding a 10-day `Seafood festival' where coastal cuisines are on offer on a platter. In fact, the dishes are cooked in styles that have a distinct ethnic flavour of Kerala, Goa and Coastal Andhra.

The Welcomgroup hotel has arranged the well-furnished interiors of its multi-cuisine restaurant in such a way that the ambience reflected a coastal hamlet, with huts having a thatched roof, fishnets and lanterns.

The stewards are dressed typically as Goan Konkani fishermen, with a T-shirt, lungi and a palmleaf hat. According to General Manager K. Bhaskar, delectable dishes like `Peethala Iguru', `Bommidayala Pulusu', `Nethili', fry `chapa', `Royyala Iguru', Malabar fish curry, Goan fish curry, Nellore `chepa pulusu', shrimp and fish biryani etc. Speciality chef Manoj Verghese and chef Suriya are here to roll out mouth-watering dishes of lobsters, pompfrets, crab and jumbo prawns on order, that too as per the taste and preference of the guests. The festival will conclude on June 25.
