Christmas Day Lunch: Mud Crabs and Lobsters

`This year I spent Christmas Lunch Dinner with my family in Wollongong, NSW. Lunch included Australian lobsters and mud crabs, ham potato salad and pavlova. Yumm!

I remembered to take a photo of the mud crab claw before devouring the sweet, tender flesh.

Thai SIam: Mud crab with salt & pepper and five spice

It's pay day and we decide to head down to Thai Siam for some mud crab. 


This time it was to share a mud crab between two people, last time we had one each. We order the mud crab cooked with salt & pepper and five spice, along with an entree of steamed dim sims.     



I think we have ordered steamed dim sims most visits to Thai Siam. I really like the texture and flavour.

The mud crab arrives. Yumm. So much fun picking the flesh out of the claw and legs.


My favourite  part is the claw. That's where you get the most succulent flesh.  It tastes even better with the salt&pepper and five spice flavouring. I took home a few legs and shared them with my seafood-loving aunt Jo who was very grateful for the morsels.

Always sated at the Thai Siam.restaurant.

Thai Siam: Mud Crab: salt and pepper; ginger and shallot

After seeing a photo of a mud crab on Thai Siam's Facebook page I asked the owner, Anna, if she would let me know when they got more in. I love mud crab and it had been far too long since the last time I had eaten it.

I received a phone call from Anna letting me know that they had mud crab in stock. I made a booking for Saturday night and waited with great anticipation for my mud crab meal.

When Lam came out with the crabs I almost swooned. Look at those huge crabs full of succulent crab meat!

While we waited we ordered some steamed dim sims

After a short while our crabs arrive.  They smelled amazing!

The crab meat was as sweet and flavoursome as I had hoped. I had the mud crab cooked fried in salt and pepper; hubby's crab was cooked with ginger and shallots. I tasted a bit of each and I preferred the salt and pepper. I enjoyed every last morsel and had so much fun prying out the flesh.  Hubby loved his crab and said that it was the most delicious since the one he had eaten in Penang. That's high praise from him. 

A delicious meal that we will long savour.
