Beyond Resort Karon in Phuket is showcasing one of the stars of the seafood world by launching a Blue Sea Crab couples dining experience, a gastronomic treat in which guests can experience the sweet, fleshy crustacean caught that day in the Andaman Sea.

Available throughout the month of July, the Andaman Blue Sea Crab, renowned for its high protein, low fat and vitamin-rich content, has been used exclusively in a carefully crafted menu by Beyond's culinary team with wine pairings suggested by the experienced staff.

Four dishes have been created to celebrate the Andaman Blue Sea Crab and are served in a serene setting @Beach Restaurant from where diners can enjoy sweeping views the ocean and the outstretched Karon Beach.

Dishes include crab and shrimp with mozzarella cheese served with mayonnaise and mango salad; spaghetti angel hair with crab and roe shrimp sauce; crab and shrimp tartar with black and green olives, capers, onion, parsley and lemon served with lime mayonnaise; and crab and shrimp thermidor with mushroom, cream and white wine served with mashed potato.

And its local pries for local dishes, which range from THB150++ (USD4.50) to THB220++ (USD6.50) per course.

Beyond Resort Karon General Manager Amnat Jittavikul said local fishermen brought their best catch to the resort for selection each day so that only the finest Blue Sea Crabs were served to guests.

"It is a pleasure to showcase indigenous fresh seafood from the Andaman and there is nothing more distinct or memorable that the Blue Sea Crab. It is succulent and delicate in taste and pairs superbly with the fine wines from our cellar to create an experience couples can savour."

Private, intimate and romantic, adults-only Beyond Resort Karon is nestled in a quiet corner of Phuket's grandest strip of sand, Karon Beach. It offers an absolute beachfront location and an array of immediate shopping, dining and entertainment choices.
