Whats the best way to cook redclaw?

[fishflogger92]

I have just boiled them as you would prawns or crab depending on size or amount,just make up a salt water mix about the same as sea water.
Otherwise use any crab or prawn recipes and substitute with redclaw,creamy garlic sauce is popular around here,but I have done Honey,Chilli, Soy all good.
You will have to clean & devein them for the marinate or sauce to work.
Drop redclaw in ice water to put to sleep then pull the head off, grab the middle section of the tail fins twist gently from side to side then carefully withdraw the vein then just shell like a prawn they can be hard to shell but its worth it :).
Enjoy with a nice cold ale.
Cheers. :)

Never eaten em, but if was to i'd be pulling the tails off green, wiping em with a little garlic butter or just salt and peper and wrapping em in bacon, securing it with a toothpick or sharpened sprig of rosemary or thyme.

Cook em on the barbie and dab em with a bit of Char Sui sauce (bbq sauce would substitute in the bush) while turning.

[mudskipper]

1 cut longwise (lobster),garlic butter & white wine on barbie with lid.
2 shell, then throw into a bag with fish coating mix or crumb in one and lightly fry in olive oil
have never had left overs with either method- missus complained too much over smell when
boiling. also thai seasoning(mild)masterfoods with garlic....i got to go and change my drip tray- full of drool

I've tried a few ways to cook these suckers as there so easy to get. I have'nt liked anyway i have eaten them. They have there own taste and lets face it they don't taste like prawn/crab or lobster. I make chilli crab, garlic prawns and honey soy crab/prawns these are all a great taste bud treat. Sorry to the people that rate these.

[trueblue]

boil in salted water with a good dash of white vinegar

or, throw straight onto fire coals. Bit of charcoal adds to their character
