Moreton Bay bugs and Balmain bugs are very similar. One has a wider head than the other - but not necessarily a bigger brain. They are also known as bay lobsters - but look nothing like lobsters. They're also called slipper lobsters - but look nothing like slippers. (Well, they might resemble slippers but only after the pet bull terrier has lunched on them.) No matter from what angle you view them, they're ugly. But they taste sublime. Possibly my favourite crustacean - along with blue swimmer or sand crab. These guys have been beheaded and halved as you can see. Some garlic butter and a slow roast until JUST cooked. The truffled potato gallette adds a touch of luxury. A bunch of wild rocket from the garden keeps it from sliding into decadence.
