Now where do I start???? I've got too many favourites....

Here's one of my favourite ways to cook Mud Crabs. Anyone that has been to Singapore will probably know this one:

Singapore Black Pepper Crab

1 whole green Mud Crab
4 Tbsp. peanut oil
1 Tbsp. ground boiled black pepper
4 Tbsp. Chinese cooking rice wine(or sherry)
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1/2 Tbsp. sugar
4 cloves garlic, crushed
4 Tbsp. fish stock (or chicken stock)
1 Tbsp. cornflour

Remove large shells of crabs and divide crab into 4 portions, breaking each body in half and separating large claws from body. Leave legs attach.

Heat oil in wok or large frying pan and fry crab pieces until red colored, about 20 minutes. Add crushed garlic and roast until golden. Add rice wine, soy sauce, sugar, boiled black pepper, fish stock and bring to simmer. Mix cornstarch with enough cold water to make a paste and add to simmering stock. Stir through to coat crab pieces evenly.

Serve with steamed white rice.

As for Prawns:

1kg King Prawns
1 Tbsp. Olive oil
1/2 Tsp. Tumeric
6 cloves Garlic, crushed
1 small onion, very finely diced

Combine olive oil, garlic, onion and tumeric to make a paste. Add more oil if needed.

Butterfly prawns by slicing between legs and all the way through to the shell - not cutting shell though. Marinade prawns in paste making sure to push paste into cut. Leave to marinade for 1-2hrs.

Cook on hot grill plate, making sure to open butterflied prawns by pressing the cut section open.

[philip_thomson]

the best sea food is pearl perch with lemon in the gut and butter on the outside it is so beautiful it makes me drool thinking about it . i love most reef fish and the cats do also. parrot fish is good cooked same way also. freshly caught prawns are very nice especially when you catch them yourself
mackeral steak are great also. i eat virtually and fish (that is edabile) not grinners though
cheers philip

Pretty much any edible fish that is fresh - fresh I mean like only a few hours out of the water. Fresh prawns are way, way way up the list. Highly allergic to any cephalopods (squid, octopus, cuttlefish etc) so they're out of the question. Any reef fish battered and fried works wonders with a bit of lemon juice.

If the fish isn't top notch eating quality, I usually simmer it in a tin of coconut milk, with finely sliced sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms, spring onion and various herbs and spices. The lot then served up over a bed of hot white rice and the coconut sauce drizzled over. "You bloody ripper....bloody unreal".
