Thread: Snapper and crabs -on the Baby Q island style

Got some fresh snapper and frozen crabs from the local fish shop, watercress and banana leaves from mums place,

Dinner sorted,

heavy buttered and salted steamed snapper wrapped in watercress and banana leaves.



with the crabs steaming in the juices from the snapper, about 30mins on the baby Q until the fish was just done.



Came out great, served with a fresh watercress, apple, cheese and caramelized walnut salad.

A visual pleasure ! Damn that looks like a great dinner!

What’s the best way to get the most meat out of the crabs ?

Thanks Stingray,

I just split them, de-frill/gut them and then suck away, teeth used to crack the legs and get into them, pretty fiddly for what meat you actually get. messy but great entrée to the snapper

With the blue manner crabs that we used to go and scoop net fresh in Western Australia, my favorite way was to do them in a wok with a black bean chilli sauce. Now that was messy.

TBH these ones were a bit mushy, but still that sweet taste of crab. They must have been frozen before.

I have to admit to that I really do miss a nice big Atlantic crab.
The little bubba swimmers here dont really do it for me

Those webber Q"s are bloody good. I have the baby 1200.
