"Seafood plateau?? A bad translation of "plateau de mer", which is just a seafood platter?
- BrandoElFollito 1y ago"Plateau de mer" is not seafood platter. Seafood platter is "plateau de fruits de mer". "Plateau de mer" could be "seabed plateau" but I am not an oceanographer so I fo not know what words they use (but strictly from the perspective of French language it is plausible)
- gyomu 1y agoIt would be “plateau marin”, not “plateau de mer”. “Plateau de mer” does sound like a seafood restaurant special.
- Animats 1y ago"Plateau de fruits de mer" is proper, but shortened in cooking practice.
- BrandoElFollito 1y agoAh, I learned something then. I found a few references in Google indeed.
- bombela 1y agoFrench here, asked the frenchies around me. Nobody thinks "plateau de mer" is an obvious shorthand for "plateau de fruit de mer". We have never heard that one. And we sure eat seafood platters on the regular.
- Animats 1y agoOf course not. It's not correct. Instagram hype for a San Francisco hipster restaurant, though...[1] [1] https://www.instagram.com/p/C02IZeEyMPE/ https://www.instagram.com/p/C02IZeEyMPE/
