Method
Step 1
To make the buttery BBQ lobster, cut the lobster tails in half lengthways. Heat a barbecue grill or chargrill on medium-high. Spray the lobster with olive oil spray. Season. Cook, turning occasionally, for 8-10 mins or until the lobster shell changes colour and meat is just cooked through. Transfer to a plate. Heat the butter in a medium frying pan over high heat until the butter melts and turns a nutty brown. Pour over the lobster. Cover to keep warm.
Step 2
To make the herbed scallops, remove shells from the scallops (wash and dry the shells and set aside for serving). Spray a large frying pan with olive oil spray and heat over high heat. Season the scallops. Cook for 1-2 mins each side for medium or until light golden and cooked to your liking. Combine the olive oil, dill, chive, parsley and caper in a bowl. Return scallops to the shells and drizzle with the dressing.
Step 3
To make the mussels in white wine, heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring, for 3 mins or until shallot softens. Add the mussels and pour over the wine. Bring to the boil. Cover and cook for 5 mins or until the mussels open. Transfer to a serving bowl, discarding any unopened mussels.
Step 4
To make the mignonette dressing, place the shallot in a bowl with the combined vinegar, sugar and salt. Stir to combine. Season. Set aside for 15 mins to soak. Spoon over oysters.
Step 5
Meanwhile, to make the apple cider dressing, place the apple in a bowl with the vinegar, honey and salt. Stir to combine. Set aside for 5 mins to soak. Spoon over oysters.
Step 6
To finish the platter, arrange the lobster, scallops, mussels and oysters on a large serving platter with the smoked salmon and cooked prawns. Top salmon with capers. Sprinkle with dill sprigs, mint leaves and flat-leaf parsley leaves. Serve immediately with seafood sauce, aioli or mayonnaise and lemon wedges.
