[color:"orange"] mud crab is nice. knowing how to prepare it makes it great. how would u cook it, mea? BBQ? or chili crab style? [/color]

Usually steamed and then sauteed with chilli, although it can be very nice in a Garlic white wine sauce (definitely no cream)

It is however horrendously expensive, as Mudcrabs go by weight and the avarage crab is about 1-1.5 Kg you look at approximately $150.00 - $200.00 per Crab, depending on the season <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

[color:"orange"] mud crab is ok despite the knowledge that it burrows underground. [/color]

Hmm thanks Janggut, I had a bit of an argument over that with one of my Chef's and had asked some Muslim friends, but one said okay and the other couldn't have cared less, interesting though that the very strict Muslims tend to drink Scotch, considering the Koran states that you can't drink wine, but then again I guess that Scotch isn't wine <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Oh and welcome back my friend, hope you enjoyed your Holiday, I know that 1 of these years I am gonna have a holiday, but I am not holding my breath, considering that the last 1 was oh err ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" /> 17 years ago <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
