Seafood
Just a quick question.
I'm a great lover off all seafood, especially Lobster. Unfortunately to buy a Lobster here, you need to take out a second mortgage.
Is seafood cheaper compared to the Uk?
Cheers

As far as I know, You don't get Lobsters, as you know them, in Australia.
The Australian lobster is a big crayfish and called a rock lobster....it is a different creature

Re: Seafood
Moreton Bay bugs are also highly recommended here - more delicate flavour than lobster in my opinion.Mrs JTL

Re: Seafood
Bugs are just beautiful, used to eat them down in Tassie funnily enough, now I live on Moreton Bay we don't have them cos The Bloke says they are too expensive!

Re: Seafood
Yes, it's damn expensive.....however the oysters are top drawer, golden trevally eats nicely as does yellowfin tuna and king george whiting. A good expensive snapper is worth it. Much to my surprise upon arrival, the seafood here is absolutely pants compared to the uk....
