Moreton Bay Bugs
From the Queensland Coastline and with a firm lobster like taste, Moreton Bay Bugs are used for just about anything. BBQ’s in the summer, poaching, steaming, or pan fry, or simply with garlic butter under the grill. Serve and enjoy this versatile meat either hot or cold and is usually sweeter and more delicate than lobster meat.
