I‘ve always though that the time to eat mud crab is full moon. But apparently it doesn’t matter as long as you don’t eat them in the summer months, a bit like oysters,and they are good now.
Not only are mud crabs delicious but as long as you aren’t eating spawning females they are a sustainable seafood too.
And that means you can eat as much crab as will make you burst which is exactly what I did at Omah’s in Port Melbourne the other day.
We tried both chilli and salted egg crab (about $40 each) and I think the verdict was the the salted (pictured) was best.
Omah’s has been in Port Melbourne for five years now (it also has a Hawthorne), but has only recently hit the radar with a table of ten bloggers there with us the other night.
Also worth a try are the nyonya fish and coconut prawns, served in the coconut itself.
Boy, did I make a mess and naturally ended up finger licking.
