I steamed mine up on Saturday night for the tribe.  Very tasty indeed. Most of mine were around 130-140mm with a couple over 160mm Soupy.

With a kilo of prawns and a couple baked slabs of Dhuie, hmm it was a nice night.

Cheers Pete

Crabs, Prawns and Dhu - You can't go wrong. Is that a kilo from one dive - if so, the water must have cleared a little with the first winter rains?????????

Memories

Mon, 2011-06-13 14:49

You guys are bringing back unpleasant memories of explorer socks inside my booties and 7mm of hood on my head. Cheers for nothing. As for one prawn versus one kilo of prawns I'd be braving the extra 4 metres it takes to hit the deepest spots no matter how cold I was.
