Brew Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Hi guys, Caught this Coral Crab at the mouth of the Hawkesbury last night. Can’t see anything on Fishraider about them and not much on the web. Is it rare for the area and how do they taste? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Blackfish Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Certainly not a lot on the Web. Seems to be a few more caught in QLD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Brew Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 If you ever get one don’t throw it back. Very tasty. A bit more salty than a blue swimmer. Similar to the saltiness of a prawn. The claws have white meat also as opposed to the browny meat in a blue swimmer. Now I just need to repair my traps as something ripped one and decimated the other leaving just a blue swimmer claw to tease me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small wobbegongs also like crabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t see anything on Fishraider about them and not much on the web.
Is it rare for the area and how do they taste?
