Think large crayfish really. Tastes like lobster and its simpl lovely. You'll find the seafood excellent around Morton Bay and I highly recomment the mud crabs also.

Go to a Restaurant and..... (saves cooking)

Moreton Bay Bugs
Grilled to perfection, drizzled with lemon and lime butter sauce with rice and salad - $36.90 OR
Coated in macadamia nuts and deep fried, served on a bed of fresh garden salad - $36.90

That price is from a Brisbane Restaurant, not sure about locally

I'm not a seafood person, so for me..... (at the same place)
Char Grilled Eye Fillet
Seared and cooked to tender perfection. Served with fresh garden salad and grilled sweet potato mash with either Mushroom, Pepper or Diane Sauce. $31.50

Hi Ang, it is really just a shellfish similar to a crayfish or Lobster as someone else mentioned - imagine in taste a cross between prawn & Lobster & its pretty close. So if you like prawns/lobster/crayfish etc there's a good chance you'll like bugs as well . If you want to buy some, I suggest you try Seafood House at Capalaba, they have a great range of things as well as being a good price.

As for what to do with them, it depends on whether you buy them cooked or green (raw), If they are cooked you can do with them anything similar to what you would do with prawn or lobster - put them in a salad, eat them cold, put them on sandwiches etc. If you buy them green you will need to split them in half down the middle & you can do a whole heap of things with them. For a marinade try garlic & melted butter, lemon & Garlic, sprinkled with some fresh herbs like coriander & a drizzle of olive oil, all of those can be cooked on the BBQ. Or you can stir fry them with chilli & garlic, a sweet chilli or a chinese BBQ sauce, the choices are endless.

Let me know if you get some & what you do with them & if you enjoyed it or not .
