I've had a strange desire to eat crab. This may have been brought on by the cooler weather and the distinct need for comfort food.
We're fortunate to be living close to Sydney Fish Market, the biggest fish market in the Southern Hemisphere. I often frequent it on a Saturday when it's a buzz of activity and showcases a spectacular array of fresh and exotic seafoods.
I excitedly pick out one large mud crab wriggling in the crate (there is something amusing about choosing your food whilst it's still alive) and the sales assistant disappears with it behind the counter, emerging with the crab in four pieces.
It's not long before the kitchen is filled with the wonderful aroma of spices. It's a quick dish to prepare and doesn't take long for the crab to take on a glowing orange hue.
Served with rice it feels like home on a plate! Certainly takes me back to my days in Durban! ... and yes, you'll have to use your fingers!
