When I was in FNQ I used to go out hunting the big Reef Crayfish early in the morning. Then I would cook them in White wine with a bit of Garlic. When they were cooked I would open one and sprinkle freshly ground black pepper on it and eat it, with a bottle of Guinness to wash it down.. The Reef Stripeys are so big, one is a meal for a normal person. They also won't go into traps, so you have to dive under the coral bommies to get them. That is exhausting, because one has to snorkel dive to 35 - 40 feet to get to them.

They used to have the shell of one on Green Island. It was a good metre long. (out from Cairns)They reckon its live weight was over 20 Lbs. I doubt that, but I have caught 2 Kg live weight ones myself.

BTW our Reef Crayfish don't have claws....Marum.

Good morning marum,

Now that's a crayfish, wow,

Notice the daylight hours are getting shorter now, that must be due to climate change,
