Seafood Market in Labrador on the Gold Coast, Queensland, August 5, 2014 Australia.
Today we meet up with a person from Flickr who lives in New Zealand and we just happened to be at Surfers that same week. We had a fantastic day together. First of all we went up to the top of the Q1 building. Then we visited the seafood market before having lunch.
Labrador is a suburb located on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. The suburb overlooks the Gold Coast Broadwater to the east and Southport on the southern border.
There are many Aboriginal cultural sites across the Gold Coast. Labrador was part of traditional country for several families, due to the abundance of shell fish, mudcrabs, oysters and waterfowl in the area. The two local peoples most spoken of by the early settlers were the Yugambeh and Kombumerri Aboriginals.
Dawn Rix in her book Labrador - The early pioneers writes that a Scottish Engineer Robert Muir is believed to have named the area in the late 19th century after the a local fishery in north-eastern Canada, owing to the similarities both held in the recreational fishing of streams and the peninsula shape of the land.

Mud crabs (Scylla sp.) are in great demand by virtue of their delicacy, medicinal value and export trade. The shrimp farmers of Bengal (India), who were affected with consistent disease problems in shrimp farming have taken up mud crab farming on a small scale as a diversification in brackish water farming in the coastal districts (Sundarban delta region).
The results from earlier pond trials indicate that it is possible to achieve a production of above 1000 kg/ha of Scylla tranquebarica with nursery reared stocking and mixed sex culture. In the low saline farming of S. tranquebarica at Sundarban, the production cost was found to be Rs.235/- per kg with a profit margin of Rs.85,000/- (GBP £1000) per ha and a rate of return of 36% over the operational cost. With proper scheduling of the crop and with better survival rate, better rate of return is achievable.

Diving for mudcrabs is an efficient method of capture. The technique is being phased out in some communities because of overfishing in Malaita, Solomon Islands.
Wunyami (Green Island and surrounding reef) is within the sea country of the Guru-Gulu Gungandji Aboriginal people.
The Guru-Gulu Gungandji children all learn stories about Wunyami, Green Island. One story concerns a turtle and a crab:
‘A small turtle joined a group of other turtles gathering at the creek edge but he could not reach the fresh water. Desperately thirsty, he found a puddle of rainwater and started to drink when suddenly he let out a loud scream. A large mudcrab was pinching the end of his nose with its pincers. The little turtle pulled away and the crab fell off. The turtle was left with two small nostrils at the end of his nose. In time, the other turtles noticed that he became big and strong, so they asked the spirits to give them nostrils too.’

This is a mud crab, also called mangrove crab, part of the Scylla species of swimming crabs. They have particularly large and powerful claws, so be careful!
I found this crab at the fish market in Kota Kinabalu (Borneo)

After a long day of absorbing dragon souls, repelling bandits and skirmishes with mudcrabs, Thagirion gets to come home to his wife, Slygja for a hot meal and some money. It's funny that this character always has her pickaxe.

Photos taken by my wife on recent holiday to Brisbane. Showing the habitat where mud crabs are caught, the live and cooked specimens.
Mud crab is probably the sweetest meat of the crab varieties, rivalling crayfish/lobster.

A 15 minute walk from my home is Salt Pan Creek. Lining either side are swamps where the mangrove trees live quiet happily in the tidal water. Once viewed as being useless, they now are known to help filter pollution and provide a home for juvenile fish. They are also home to the delicious Mud crab. To non-Australians, that might sound ridiculous, but once cleaned up and cooked they're yummy.
Set the crab last Saturday night in a mangrove creek. retrieved it Sunday morning early 3 large male crabs, a giant female which I released back into creek and a meter long eel which also was let go.
Great Sunday lunch with friends

This is a bit odd. Male decapods typically mount the female from behind during her post-molt period and stick around until her new exoskeleton hardens. Perhaps this happy couple was confused.

Yummy! Quite filling despite the small serves.

John Dory, mud crab, asparagus, radish and a warm Cinzano Bianco mayonnaise AUD38
A perfectly cooked, moist, and very tasty piece of John Dory. Even though it was enough, I would have loved an extra fillet of fish. Good thing we shared a side of French Fries. The mud crab and radish remoulade was very subtle, almost too subtle.

Seafood Market in Labrador on the Gold Coast, Queensland, August 5, 2014 Australia.
Today we meet up with a person from Flickr who lives in New Zealand and we just happened to be at Surfers that same week. We had a fantastic day together. First of all we went up to the top of the Q1 building. Then we visited the seafood market before having lunch.
Labrador is a suburb located on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. The suburb overlooks the Gold Coast Broadwater to the east and Southport on the southern border.
There are many Aboriginal cultural sites across the Gold Coast. Labrador was part of traditional country for several families, due to the abundance of shell fish, mudcrabs, oysters and waterfowl in the area. The two local peoples most spoken of by the early settlers were the Yugambeh and Kombumerri Aboriginals.
Dawn Rix in her book Labrador - The early pioneers writes that a Scottish Engineer Robert Muir is believed to have named the area in the late 19th century after the a local fishery in north-eastern Canada, owing to the similarities both held in the recreational fishing of streams and the peninsula shape of the land.

The Fruits of the Sea were in abundance, this stall seemed to specialise in shellfish. The cray fish (rock lobster) are the big red ones... they were cooked, the rest seemed to be raw. Probably against Health Department regulations now that I think about it - raw fish and cooked all in together. (Well, at least no one important died.)
