I have never been much of a fan of fresh sea food until I got into recreational fishing a few weeks ago. I guess I simply dislike killing and cooking things that have eyes.

One of the specialties in Numbulwar is mud crabs. There is no real market for it, when you want one you just ask someone who has a boat — they usually have some crab traps placed out in the river somewhere and every couple of days they go and check them.

A few weeks ago I was given one and fortunately at that time I was hosting some plumbers in my house who were also experienced fisher men and they showed me how to prepare, cook and eat a mud crab the right way. Interesting experience but I think I prefer fish.
