Mud Crab or not to Mud Crab ? We had our "Omar" (Nanna) sit with the kids, and off we went to our romantic rondevue. Mr fabulous already had an idea about what he wanted to order, which was, the lobster meal to share. Alas, there was no fresh lobster available, so we discussed the "Mud Crab" adventure. There are heaps of super yummy seafood treats on the menu so I would have been happy with any dish.
The decision was made, Entre - Seared Sea Scallops and Crispy Duck and Mooloolaba Spanner Crab Cakes, to share - mm mm mmmmm.
Main - we opted for the hot mud crab with spicy chilli jam & lemon and herb vinegar. Surprisingly my favourite condiment was the lemon and herb vinegar. I usually add a chilli jam to many of my meals, however I couldn't get enough of the lemon herb vinegar.
Ready and armed with the required untensil to devour this tasty morsel.
The Mud crab "ordeal" was worth it and even though we shared the 1.6 KG muddie, with the entre's, it was certainly enough food. If your going to do the mud crab journey, you just have to dive in. During our meal I was chatting away to my husband when I was using my Crusher utensil to ever so lady like, crack open a claw. Slippery little sucker! Crab juice went spirting into the air ! I caught a gentleman at the nearby table, who had been observing how articulate we were with the dinner, see this happen. Laughing out loud, I turned back to look at my husband and right on his nose I saw a chunk of mud crab. I couldnt stop giggling and then I did the only thing you can under such circumstances I wiped it off and ate it !!. I guess I could have leaned over and licked it off his face, but that's not manners.
The damage was done, full bellies and lots of laughs, we totally enjoyed our Mud Crab experience. I highly recommend you try it too. xx
