Meals
at Lissenung
Meals are an important part of your experience at Lissenung Island Resort. Our cooks prepare local and international meals, often combining the two and with that, creating innovative dishes unique to Lissenung Island Resort. |

Meals are served in the "Haus Win", the big main house, which was designed to let nature in. It features a sandy floor, handcrafted furniture, comfortable lounges and is beautifully decorated with masks and other local artwork, giving it a typical PNG atmosphere.
The guests eat together at one long, beautifully decorated table. Exchanging stories about the days diving, surfing, snorkelling, fishing or simply doing nothing whilst enjoying a fully belly and a cold drink is the perfect way to end an adventure-filled day. |

The Kavieng area is famous for its huge mud crabs and we have some pretty awesome recipies for those. Lobster (crayfish), octopus, squid and, of course, fish also feature high on our menu. All seafood is bought sustainably, right from the local fishermen, who come to the island in their dug-out canoes to offer their catch.
You cannot get your seafood any fresher than this, but the most important thing to us is that the fish is caught
with minimal impact on the environment. |
Fresh from the ocean, these lobsters have been tailed
and are ready for cooking. We serve them either as Lobster
Mornay or grilled, topped with cheese and served with
a cheese sauce. Yummy!!

This 17kg Spanish Mackerel was caught
using a handline (just a bit of fishing line around
a piece of timber) and a dug-out canoe. I asked Daniel,
the fisherman, how fast his canoe was capable of going
with the fish dragging him. Can you just picture it?
A dug-out canoe doing 50 km/h, going back and forth
between the islands, with Daniel hanging on for dear
life? Priceless!
