OMG....crab virgin no longer!

[Bear001]

Well....I dont really eat fish....never tried crab or lobster

Until about a month ago I sampled some fresh blue swimmer on a platter AND FELL IN LOOOOVE...YUM YUM....so I had it again at the Safari Club restuarant in Tamworth & think I might now have an addiction.::) ;D

They tell me mud crab is yummier still!!!:o
So thats it.....next time I head to the coast or qld....will be doing some homework on crabbing for sure!!!

Always wondered why you mob put in so much effort, we could never be bothered and would rather spend the trip fishing.....I spose being freshwater fisho who never grew up crabbing I didnt know any different.... :-[

So hmmmm - next on the taste list will have to be lobster......followed by saltwater barra.............;)

Sand crab tastes way better than Mud crab Cindy.

Just think about where each crab lives and what they eat ?? ::)

Then again....... Spanner crab is as sweet as sandies. Just a tad more difficult to access the meat, but there is a trick to that.

I'll have a muddy anyday. ( or a sandie, or a spanner ) LOL. Still, there is nothing wrong with Marin either.

Gees Cindy I thought you caught a crab.
That'll be something to celebrate.

Just remember though...losing your crab catching virginity is different to losing your virginity and catching crabs.

I still like big craybob's cooked up though. Just like minature lobsters they are I reckon.

Mud crab and sand crab have different tastes and therefore different people will prefer one or the other. When they say that one tastes better, they can only really be reporting on their own tastes, rather than being an authority on it.

Now, after saying that... mud crab is the best :P

Haha, good stuff cind. It is great fun going crabbing. The anticipation when pulling a pot, dealing with an angry crab and then cooking it up fresh and tucking in while it is still warm is something to look forward too!
A full muddy is hard to beat but a sandy beats a half full one i reckon.

Yes there is. Sweat Chill Crabs. Tamarine Crabs, Singapore crabs. Satay Crabs.

However i just like plain old boiled crab, dipped with salt, pepper and lime juice.

You just can't lose with it. A mate of mine tells me how he likes to melt some butter and dip a fresh cooked crab in it and scoff it down. Another one has told me the same but with vinegar. Each to their own, but love the possibilties.

Also love going to a restaurant and seeing them for $60 a pop and know that I've just caught a few the week before.

ya killin me you lot that have it on tap on your doorstep!
augh.....lol
